[QUOTE="Keren, post: 619605, member: 3195"] Basically my poddy kids/lambs (sometimes calves/foals/pigs) are what is paying for me to go to uni. So yes, you can make a profit on them. The ones I make the most money off are the fullblood Boer kids. I get them for free or up to $50, it costs me $80 to raise them on the bottle and grain until 4mths old, then I sell them does for $300, bucks for $500. Crossbred kids I dont pay for, I get them free, does I end up selling on for $150, bucks are wethered and sell for about $80 to $100, so I only just make it back with them. Lambs are about the same as the wethers. But I just got a dairy doe and a few more on the way, which will cut the feeding cost down to about $50 per lamb/kid. [/QUOTE]
