This isn't a classified ad, but since it pertains to goat sale issues, I guess I'll post it here.
I'm wondering what is a typical price for packgoat prospects. I'm soon going to list Snickers and our two new boys, Sledge and Hammer, for sale and I need to figure out where to start. Ads on Craigslist in my area aren't overly helpful. Young wethers usually go for $75 - $150, but they are usually not very inspiring-looking and often under-grown. Yearlings are usually a bit pricier than kids but not much. I don't want to ask more than the market can bear, but I also don't want to tempt the meat buyers. All my boys are too nice to get eaten, and all have been worked with, especially Snickers.
I'm also probably going to sell Pac-Man once Finn is old enough to take his place. Do ya'll think a goat that is already trained to pack, lead, tie, and pull a cart is worth about the same as a grown dairy doe in milk? Those usually go for around $300-$350, but that seems a bit low for a goat that is trained to drive. Any opinions?
