Sell a pair early?

Well the IRS is making my life heck again. They really really are trying to ruin our lives. We owed for one year and have been on a payment plan for two years now. But everytime they mess up they garnish about 85 percent of my husband's check. He gets paid once a month so that leaves us with $700 everytime they do it and then it is a fight to get it back, usually takes weeks. In this day and age $700 cannot be lived on buy one person in an apartment. They never did give it back in one case and now we are a mortgage payment and one car payment behind. Another time they gave it all back less $800. They kept the $1,500 stimulus check. Have taken double payments at times and in general have been idiots.
Anyway they messed up again this month and made my bank account negative. I do have overdraft protection but each thing has cost me a $20 fee. It got paid but left us with a larger negative.
Not to sit here and tell a long sob sorry, I am just angry and venting. My husband leaves all bills to me and hates to hear about this kind of stuff and I swear the IRS is going to get my an ulcer! Sorry I am mad and rambling, on to my questions....

So now I am considering selling a Nigie mom and kid pair, maybe two of them. I really do not want to sell them early and it would mean that I have to try to get a 6 week old on the bottle since I do plan to keep one doeling from each of these moms. I will sell them for less as unregistered since I do not have any money for the paperwork at this time.

Is this a mistake? I am thinking of asking $300 for the pair unregistered. Lady not far from me sells Nigies as unregistered for $200 a piece, guy up north sells them for $275 each unregistered. Neither seem to test but do vaccines and disbudding.
Mine are disbudded, mom up to date on shots and worming, kid has received probiotic, mom tested last year, have her colstrum to test her again this year once I have the cash.
I would have to advertise free, so I am guessing on here and craigs and maybe the thirfty nickel.
Should I sell two pairs for less than I actually want? Or one pair? Or is it a big mistake and I should stop freaking out and wait for money to fall from the sky? lol

I do not have too much info on your sit wuth the IRS, we are waiting on money from them for an admendment and the info on time to get the $ has doubled since we sent it in, even then should be any day my mailman knows something is going on as I am waiting for him everyday. Have you spoken with the taxpayer advocate from the IRS. Be really nice explain the situation and tell her if we lose car hubbie loses job and you all can't garnish then. Or talk to a Tax lawyer I had a family of a friend that I started doing their taxes but before that the hubbie worked for a trucking company that was working the drivers over on their taxes ( one part of the contract was the company did the drivers taxes. ) well hubbie keeps changing jobs before IRS could catch up they started to garnish her and then after 9 months of me telling them to see a lawyer they finally went 30,000 to 1750 not bad and they released the garnishment as long as payments were being made. Also PLEASE try as best as you can to keep track of all payments either self pay or garnish because they are known to over garnish. They interest and penalities will kill you. I was a manager at JH tax service for 4 years.

I did go to a Tax Lawyer and they wanted $3,600 with no promises of anyting. Another told me if I have home equity then it was a no go for a OiC.
I did do the whole tax advocate thing the first time they took most of the money and he was part of the problem. He was suppose to have everything taken care of the the payment plan was altered a bit and etc. He never turned it in or some nonsense and they went ahead and garnished again. So went another 2 hours worth of phone calls and etc. Got that back so they could do it again a few months later. They keep "forgetting" I have a payment plan and it comes out of our account automatically. So there are no lost checks, late checks and etc. I wish we would have that One Tax thing and the IRS people were forced to work in icky jobs! I can say a few are nice but all force you to be on the phone for an hour min.
I just worry about selling these guys too soon. I also do not want to take a $100 or more loss, but my husband does not get paid till the 30th and I do not get paid again till the 26th. I feel like I am forced into a choice I was not yet prepared to make. Plus I do not want to send them to a home hastily, or do something that might effect them.

Are the dams registered and the kids registerable? If the dams are already registered and you own the buck/have the buck slip, then it shouldn't cost you anything to get them registered - just fill otu transfer information on the does and give the new owners the buck slip so they can register the kids. If you plan on registering your doelings out of the does, both of you can send in the papers togeather (with the new buyers paying for theirs) and that way you still don't have to pay for them to be registered - they'll sell better AND you can ask more for them if you sell registered. Just my thoughts.

Sell them in pairs with her first doeling coming back to you. This way you can sell the kids, don't have to try to bottle a kid who really won't bottle well anyway being dam raised.

With the sale of a few pairs it will also free up money and pay you, they will pay for their winter care and you get kids back in the spring when hopefully your life is back to normal. Vicki

The doeling back is a good idea. I will have to spell it out clearly and have them sign if they agree. Telling them that in no way are they to keep her.

The IRS makes mistakes and they are never sorry nor make things right. That is what really gets me. We are fine until they come along and mess us up. Then you get back to normal after they rake you over the coals so they can do it again. Makes you wonder if they answer to anyone or just do what ever they want.

Yes I own the buck, but am having issues with the girls registration since I was misinformed by a Nubian owner. He told me it was more important to have the buck registered or no kids could be. Then I find out that with Nigies there are no grades, or Americans or NoA's so I am trying to get the girl's paperwork from AGS but their former owner is MIA. He had sold them to me for less since he did not want to "mess" with the paperwork. Me being a dork went on the Nubian guys advice and said I needed the buck's paperwork most of all so I agreed not to bug him looking for whatever paperwork he needed to find.
I am going to go and drown myself in chocolate now, nah I better hang on to some.

I think I am either going to cry, scream, go to bed and not get up for a week!!
When it rains it pours and it rained and was dready today. It is finally sunny and the goats came out of the barn and I did my daily inspection. Somehow one of my bucklings has a stick in his side, it is about an inch to and inch and a half long. I spent 30 mins holding a warm wet compress to it and I cannot pull it out. There is no blood and I cannot soften it enough to get it out. It is sub-q I guess, I can see it and feel myself twisting it but cannot actually pull it all the way out.
My one girl looks like she has the mumps on one side. Or cud that she is not chewing. She has no lump, or any type of CL thing going on. No pus or any type of lump like that. I have no clue what it is.
Because of all the rain the graded our dirt road and my son now has two flat tires! Of course they are nails/screws in the side walls. His truck did not get very far and now I have to get him back home. He does not get paid until the 27th either and if I have to take him to and from work I really will scream.
Nothing else better go wrong or I might end up in a padded room.
