Nigerians must go!

Winter is approaching, and I know I can't take care of my goats the way they need to be. I wasn't showing signs of this when I got the goats, and so this isn't easy for me. I talked to my husband, and he's agreed to let me sell them as 1 buck (black/white) 3 does (white, brown/white, chamois) and 1 wether for $400. They can be double registered, and I have the paperwork, just never sent it in. They are CA/CAE negative, and the herd they came from was as well. Please, goat lovers, help me find these goats a good home!I have pictures that I can email anyone that gives me an address.
Thanks!

I'm sorry you have to find another home for your goats, Steffie. Wish I were closer and could help.

I'm sad you have to sell your goats but so happy you recognize what needs to be done for their welfare. Kudos to you for not letting it get out of hand...shows how much you care for them.

I love these goats dearly. It's honestly been the hardest part of becoming sick. Thank you so much for being understanding, and not judgemental.

I have a buyer for everyone but my remaining buck and one doe. Thank you homesteading board! You are always so supportive, and all seem to be genuine, caring people. Thank you again. If you know anyone in middle tennessee that needs a beautiful black and white blue eyed buck, and a brown/white patched doe, most likely pregnant, send them my way!!

I'm in northeast Alabama and have nigerians now. I don't really need them as I have my own but willing to help you out if you need me to.

Thank you so much for the offer, Amy. I sold 2 of them today to a lovely lady that lives about 45 minutes away, and I think they'll be really happy there. I have the others reserved for someone from this board just north of Birmingham, so I think everyone is covered. Again, thank you so much everyone here. Thank you all for not being judgemental, and for understanding how much these goats have meant to me.
