10 goats for sale

I have 10 goats, 1 is a registered Saanen, the other 9 are percentage Boer goats, a few are older and some are younger, some just right at peak breeding age and will give you very nice babies. The goats I would like $100 each for. I would love to keep this herd together, but I will reluctantly separate them.

Please see the barter board for more animals being sold.

yeah

Need a new life. My husband and I are probably going to split up and I need to be mobile and have some money, but I don't want to leave until my animals all have new homes. My heart is breaking, but I believe it is time. One of the goats for sale is my Lucky Girl. She's the one in my Avatar.

I am so, so sorry that you're going through that. If there is anything us far-off folks can do, please let us know. If I were closer, I would foster some.

Thanks

I think about the only thing anyone can do is just help me to sell my critters so I can move on. I don't want to lose these animals, but I won't leave them until they are in good homes and then I can leave and know that they will be taken care of. I don't have that assurance with my husband, and I won't put the animals through that. Definitely not their fault.

So sorry for what you are going through. I have a close friend going through a similar crisis having to sell all of her animals. It breaks my heart. Wish there was something I could do to help.

Its so dang hard. I have had 3 of these goats for nearly 6 years. I know they won't last much longer, but Lucky the one in my avatar? I raised her from a bottle baby. She liked to lay on my lap and sleep and she still thinks she can do that. I already have a possible buyer for all 10 of them. A place where a young family is and they have about 30 other goats and they want all of them if they will fit in with theirs. I'm just sick. I miss them already. I feel like my heart is being ripped out and stomped on and I have to act happy to sell things. HOW HARD IS THAT!!!! NOT FAIR, NOT FAIR, NOT FAIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
