Omg. I have to many bucks

Just bought another one last night. It came available from a Hoanbu Dam and Alize take it to the limit buck. He's spotted. I don't have a recent pic. I need an intervention.

Give your wife your cash and check book. Freeze the credit cards in ice and place in the bottom of the freezer.

Just say no.

He's awfully cute!

He is very Handsome! Give Jamie all control over goat decisions Quick, at least if they have to do with buying! I seem to have a weakness for the boys too but hubby keeps me in line or I'd have way too many also.

I love his spots! And just how many is too many? I mean you could start a side business of training them for pack goats and cart goats. Parades and selling trinkets from a goat cart at a Renaissance fair spring to mind... or if you live near a populated area just riding your goat cart through town and selling something from it...


So, just how many are too many?

He's adorable.

Ok, here's what you do. You are a man of business - tighten your goals. You have a breeding season under your belt - evaluate and tighten. Tell yourself, that if you're buying, it's because your current bucks must lack something. Sell an older one if you're going to get a "new and improved" addition to your breeding stock.

Got you covered...before you buy send a note and pic to your HT friends to see what they say. It is an addiction! He is soooo adorable you just have to add him to your GROWING collection. In fact, I think one of our new ones looks just like him. Need two?

I have 6 bucks and 6 does. In my defense I have another doeling reserved and am going to get rid of some Nubian bucks to make room for my Nigies
