I don't know what she's crossed with, but if it were some other breed that I like, AND she was in peak condition and a top milker, then I might pay up to $150. For that price, though, you could bet I'd give her a right royal inspection.

Any animal can be worth alot or little depending on its history.
Some goats are spent and useless at age 5 and some where cared for well enough that they are still very good quality.

Just a goat's breed or cross is not enough to base a price on.

Conformation? You can get an ugly doe for 50.00 that will have kidding problems, a pendulous udder, or teeny impossible to milk teats - or you can pay 300.00 and get a first freshener that is built to produce for years and years and years. Now I know this isn't set in stone but generally this is the trend. 'cource, you need to know what good conformation/bad conformation looks like.

Milking history? Milk lineage? Has it been milked - is it trained to a milkstand?

Good mother? (if you don't pull kids)

Disease status (CL, CAE, Johne's testing A MUST in my book)

Behavior/horn status/reason for selling?
