I've made the tough decision. I am selling all of the goats. I am stretched too thin and just don't have the time or the money to do this right now. I'm not throwing the towel in forever, but I need to wait until I am more financially secure before I can have dairy goats and really manage them right.
Stinks because I feel like I was finally starting to get it right... oh well.
I am most disappointed about selling my 2 alpines, who I am so very proud of and I was SO excited for next years kidding with this doe and buck *sigh*
Here is a list of what I have for sale. Post here or PM me if you are interested. I am hoping to have photos within the next day or two that I will post here.
1. Registered alpine buck born March 8th. He has lines from
Mamm-Key, Roeburn and Three Rings on both his dam and sire's side. Was disbudded but has small scurs
2. Alpine doe, 1 year old, freshened mid-march and is making about 6 quarts of milk per day on her first lactation. She is not registered, but boy is she a looker! Excellent conformation and a very nice udder, good teats for milking by hand or machine. No horns
3. Nubian doe, 6 years old. A little rough around the edges but one tough mama! She freshened the first week of march and is still nursing her twins, but they are ready to be weaned and I expect she will produce about 1 gallon per day (that's about what she made last year after I weaned her twins). She had an old injury that caused permanent nerve damage, and she walks with a swagger in her back end as a result. She will always walk like this. It does not seem to cause her pain, and she had no problems kidding this year. She is priced accordingly due to this and her age
No horns
4. Very flashy spotted nubian doeling WITH HORNS. Dam is the doe listed above. Sire's dam had a great udder and milked about 5 quarts per day on pasture with very little grain (about 4 cups of grain per day). Sire did great on pasture and showed resistance to parasites.
Thanks for looking
