Milking does for sale-$75-Southern Missouri

A lady who just bought two milkers from me last week has two does she would like to sell. They are both half Savannah(like a white Boer goat). One is half Nubian, the other is half Saanen. She is milking them at the moment(I think they freshened last fall), says they are giving about 1/2 gallon a day each. No horns. No papers.
She quoted me the price of $75 each. I'd *love* to get them, but I can't add any more to my herd.
I have not seen these does, do not know about their health. But the description sounded really good.
She is *swimming* in milk since buying Flora and Fauna from me, and needs these two does gone asap. Planning on possibly taking them to auction on Thursday if they do not sell before then. But she'd rather sell them to someone who needs the milk.
She lives a couple hours from me in Missouri...near the AR state line I think.
She does not have internet, but please pm me if your interested and I'll give you her phone number.
This may be a good chance for anyone looking for does to raise meat kids but also give milk for the family!

Hello, my name is Rose, and I am a goataholic.



I am SOOOO glad I'm in Texas, or I'd have too many goats.

Whew! First thing I thought was "I need some more goats". NOT! These sound like a really good deal for someone who wants a nice milker, though.

They do sound perfect!!! Smiling as I sit here all the way in Illinois. Don't you get that weird feeling cause you smile because you know you need another goat like you need to be shot in the head, and yet, you also know that if you were 'juuuuust that much closer' you'd jump at it like a red hot pepper.
