Well, we sold Crockett and Boone today. It's sad to see them go but it's for the best. They were starting to get much too fresh with the girls. Crockett was sold as a breeding buck and Boone will be his companion wether. The couple has never owned goats before but they just bought a small ranch about an hour south of us where the previous owner kept about 30 dairy goats. So the place is already set up for goats, plus the woman sold them a lot of her dairy equipment (including an expensive cream separator--I'm so jealous!). They both tried some of our goat milk and loved it. They didn't want an expensive fancy-pedigree show buck so the man got very excited when he saw my ad for Crockett and Boone. Even though he's never kept goats, he's done a lot of research and knows enough not to buy just one, so getting these brothers together was ideal since he has no other goats yet. Now he just needs some does and he'll be all set for babies and milk next spring! I hope they boys work out well for them. Boone is such a sweetheart. He's going to make a marvelous wether. I hope Crockett throws nice babies. He's toed out a bit in front but otherwise looks like a nice homestead-type buck with substantial bone and nice structure. I'm excited about this sale and I hope my boys do well in their new home because I'm going to miss their sweet, curious, mischievous faces and silly antics.
