Weigh her (at least compare her weight to feed bag weight), depending where you are. Oops-I hadn't checked prices in a bit-we're in a big drought here in central Texas, prices reflect that. Here are prices from last week at a big goat sale.I don't know of a market lol I had someone give my uncle a pregnant doe, which shortly thereafter had triplets. He gave her to me because he didn't have a place to keep her/ didn't want her. The person who gave her to him swore they sell all of their baby goats for $300 at 3 days old and they didn't like her personality so they were giving her away..... So far I gave the rejected baby away after feeding it for 2 weeks and making sure it had clostrum. Just wondering if I should craigslist her and take what I can get, or if there's actually any money in them. I'm a cattle person, so this goat thing is a new experience.
If you have a goat yoga place anywhere nearby, you might ask them….Doesn't look like she's worth much, she probably weighs 40 pounds. I've picked her up to move her.
Dwarf goats around here are a dime a dozen. Nubians do best at the sale barn with people that like milk goats and want something to eat. Boer goats are popular for only meat. The rest have less value depending on what they are. La Mancha goats that have no ears (and very little meat) are at the bottom for value... and dwarf goats are worth less than them.I don't know of a market lol I had someone give my uncle a pregnant doe, which shortly thereafter had triplets.
