How do I go about selling my buckling and how old should he be?
Our goat just kidded and there are 2 doelings and one buckling. The buckling is related to all the does and I think it would be a waste to turn him into a wether? since he has a show quality Mama and Daddy. how do you go about all of it? how do i price him? where can i advertise him?

even though I keep "show quality" bucks, I wether all bucks born here and put them in the freezer...easier all the way around for everyone involved...IMO..

His mom should be a good milker with a really good udder. You will want good pictures of the dam, including her full udder. You can advertise here, on craigslist, local paper, flyers at the feed store etc. Be prepared for people to contact you to see if you have any doelings for sale lol.

I don't know where you're located, but here in TN I always use www.localsalesnetwork.com
They might have one in your area.

Nubilop Acres Foxxy's Sly Fox is his sire and Nubilop acres Razberry Blossom is his Dam (though she was a dry yearling in those pics) she has a good udder and is a good milker.

I don't see either the doe or buck registration on ADGA. Are they registered somewhere else?

That is odd. I had her papers (not sure where I put them). do you have to reapply every year or something??? I never transferred ownership from them to us but they signed a paper that looked sort of like a human birth certificate lol. Also I know that Raszberry has been in the show ring. Maybe I spelled something wrong... this is all new to me but the lady i bought them from has been doing it for like 23 years and I have seen pics of RBB in the show ring...
I don't know how to search but does it show if you spell it with an s instead of Z? sorry this is all new to me
