Oh what do I sell

A lady I have heard of is selling her nigerians because she is moving unexpectedly and is selling 10 NDs and 1 boer x for unbelievably cheap, I havent even got the last batch of goats paid off so hubby is not going to go for it but I have my hamster going full speed on the wheel trying to get ideas.
Anyone need a right arm? wait that ones bad how about a left arm, it works great and already has a nice tan

See if the seller will let you draw up a written agreement that you will pay her a little more than her asking price if you can pay out of the sale of the next crop of kids or earlier if possible.
Am I being an enabler?

Im kinda already doing that with rusty because hes out of room for goats but wants to see what certain ones will produce so we have kinda of a deal worked out with him.
These goats are all the way in Phoenix City Alabama and Im just not able to get them with them being that far due to time constraints. These goats are Ceasar bred goats so it would have been nice having some fresh blood in here.

No, no, no! you cannot have "A" goat. Have you not learned from the rest of us here yet?? We are enablers and you will have goatS, not a goat. Nope, sorry.

Besides, we have already figured out the math. You must get FIVE goats. Always in increments of five!

Hey its a great buy, they dont need much room just a few cattle pannels and a couple dogs houses.
These are very nice goats, there is 5 of them, they all should be bred for 600 and I know for a fact she paid almost that for just one of the does alone. If anyone is interested they are on the atlanta craigslist. The testing is not current but has been tested for CAE and they are very knowledgeable goat folks

Ya know, I was going to say "Gads, I don't even do that" ... BUT I started out in NDs with 5 goats. I really did. I can't blame anyone on HT though! 'Twas all me.

I need FOUR more goats! I only have six.

Trouble is, I don't think I will be able to talk my DH into any more this year.

Most small towns/cities dont consider under a certain size to be livestock but pets, for instance my old town you could have them up to 36" before you could not have them in the city limits

A lot of regulations go by if the animal has hooves or not when determining if it's a pet or not.
