So, how do I go about finding a good buck?

Not one to buy! One to breed my goats to!

It'll be several months before I have my does bred again, but I'll need to find a good buck that throws does with good udder attachments, etc. I have no idea how to go about finding one, though. Where would I look for stud service for goats?

Get on line to find breeders in your area. Go to fairs, pick brains & collect business cards.
Tell you what, when I first got my Boers there was no one I knew of nearby.When I did find them, everyone required proof of CL CAE & Johnnies testing. While I respect this I just cannot afford it at this time. So, I have a continued relationship with my breeder at breeding time.
