How much are my goats worth?

[DanielleP]

I've got 2 Saanans does 1 LaMacha doe 1 Nubian doe and 2 LaMancha/Kiko bucks we are considering selling.

The Saanans are twins 3 years old and possibly bred to a Kiko

The LaMancha is, I think 3 years old, dehorned and possibly bred to a Kiko

The Nubian is at least 3 years old, dehorned and possibly bred to a Kiko

The LaMancha/Kiko bucks are 3 months old tomorrow

Any idea what I could get for them?

[susanne]

that depends on their condition and if tested for diseases.

Also....like realestate, location, location, location. What sells great in the South may do poorly in the your part of the great white North or visa versa.

BTW...that sounds like one busy Kiko

[DanielleP]

They all look healthy. But have, to my knowledge, never been tested.

I'm planning on putting an add on craigslist, I just don't know what price to put them for.

They were all in the same pen with him for a couple weeks

Honestly, without testing or so forth, being bred to a bit of an odd cross for resale, I'd say about :


The Saanans are twins 3 years old and possibly bred to a Kiko - $150-$175 ea

The LaMancha is, I think 3 years old, dehorned and possibly bred to a Kiko - $150-$175

The Nubian is at least 3 years old, dehorned and possibly bred to a Kiko -$150-$175 ea

The LaMancha/Kiko bucks are 3 months old tomorrow - $50 ea

I agree, I would say you could ask around $175 for them.

Are they registered? How much milk do they give? What kind of temperaments do they have? Are they easy going on the milk stand? And like others have asked are they tested?

Here it's not uncommon to pay $300 for a registered heavy producer.

[DanielleP]

They are not registered. I've never milked them. I posted the add on craigslist

what some one will pay for them thats my answerer to all things with that question. I had a herd of nice Nigerians, bought most of them for 400 or so on average got less than 200 each for them when i sold. Had the original breeder sold them he would have got that.
Folks are more likely to trade in this day and time so if theres something you can use, offer to trade.
You can look up meat prices for your area based on auction reports which even though they are dairy breeds they are worth meat prices unless you want to make them more ideal for dairy folk to purchase which means testing.
Here they would fetch about 125-150 depending on body score condition, a good healthy tested milker goes from 250-600 on average.

I can't seem to sell my 2 pure Nubians even though I see higher prices on CL. Have a doeling for 150 and buckling for 75, parents CAE negative, they're vaccinated and disbudded. Got 2 half-hearted replies from CL and none at all from HT

Good luck!

[Cannon_Farms]

carol send me an email with the info, I never go through the sale pages here too much to go through, kabukienot@yahoo.com
Im working up to purchasing a couple more so its not something I plan on doing tomorrow but very soon.
