    Hope I'm still on the list for a doeling or 2. And now, I'm realizing, I should have been more proactive and looked for a good buckling too. I'm being told that having a backup buck is a good thing to do. Ah, well, next year. I'm still trying to build a decent doe herd. Lost 2 to a feral dog pack, one of the ones I bought from a good farm has turned out to have some bad genetics (horrible feet, thrifty), and I got taken on another and she obviously has some pygmy goat in her as she's tiny. ::sigh:: I have 5 bucklings to sell right now, 3 from my best doe and 2 that are from the first billy I got, who turned out to also have some pygmy in him as the bucklings are also tiny. I'm learning, but it's getting to be an expensive class.

A handfull at times but i love him, he knows his name and usully comes when i call.

    Great information. I watched a few of your videos a while back, and now just started watching again.
    We live here in Northeast TX and have goats, KuneKune pigs, chickens ans Quail. We started with an adopted Boer wether and got him a couple Nigerian Dwarf companions. We wanted dairy gots to have our own milk supply. Since then we have added some ND / Pygmy mix goats. What kind of goats can be sold for meat? Our plan is to hopefully profit more from the KuneKune pigs and Quail. I think we can make a bit from the goats too.
    Do the goats need to be registered in prder to sell at Sale Barns?

    • @BoisDArcKikos
      @BoisDArcKikos  Рік тому

      No registration required to sell at a sale barn. Yes goats can be profitable. Kiko Spanish Boer savanna mytonic are all meat goat breeds.

    • @mysticalcat713
      @mysticalcat713 Рік тому

      @BoisDArcKikos What about mix breeds? Do you ever wait until they are full-grown (bucks)? What is considered market weight? Do you know of any places that take pigs, too?

  • @clintjohnson7023
    @clintjohnson7023 8 місяців тому +1

    $260.00 - $300.00 per goat
    Or $2.60lb - $3.00lb
    I've been thinking a lot on raising meat goats to sale. Not sure on breed yet. Was leaning towards bora or Spanish goats. Maybe both kept in separate pastures of course. I own a 195caer farm that atbthe moment only has wildlife running about. There's a lot of brush that needs cleaning and I know the goats would do a great job on that

    • @BoisDArcKikos
      @BoisDArcKikos  8 місяців тому +1

      We got 2.60 - 3.00 $ a pound. We just sold some the other day & they brought $3 a pound. We sell ours at weaning age 90-100 days old. With that much land you could run a lot of goats. We use kikos because of their hardness & getting kids to market. Thanks for watching anymore questions or if I can help out. Message me on my Facebook page.

    Can goats eat rhododendron bushes, and what goats would you recommend for me to start with? I have a garden of 70ft x 70ft and I want to start with 2 milking goats. I am then going to build a head of abuse 30/40 for milking, cheese, whey, and soap production. I also want to use the herd for land clearance. I'm new to farming but I think the land clearance will become a big part of local governments recommendation policy for environmentally friendly land usage in the UK 🇬🇧 😅

    Been farming my whole life. Livestock is a great way for others to make money. Everyone gets paid but you. If you’re going to do livestock don’t keep track of your cost. I’ve heard it all, drop off 50 goats and they were a little too heavy. Or there a little lite. Or there’s to many goats in the market. What you going to do go back home and unload? No way and they know it. They set the price, that’s the problem . Farmer buy everything retail and sell everything wholesale.
