Wow - that's some good prices for papered! Around here papered will put you back $350 for a doe/$200 for a buck and prolly $125 ish for a wether.

That's why I got into nice quality UNPapered goats - to give people like me a fair shot of the "dreamland"

I paid $150 for my registered Boer does about 15 years ago...lol

I paid $450 for the reg. Boer buck

Honestly unless you are into show goats, you don't recoup well on these prices. Unless you get the nutso to pay what I paid haha

No Goats :hit :hit :hit :hit :hit

She wouldnt even consider it. She said we didnt have enough room and I told her we did and I explained it and she still wouldnt budge. Then she said she didnt want to be tied down to them.....so nevermind.

And enjoy the heck out of the critters you do have and that wonderful life you get to live. Not all kids get to have that, so it's not all bad, right?

There is a tiny light at the end of the tunnel, Im getting the Aunt to talk to her about it. She thought it was a great idea. And she figured the only thing about it that didnt appeal to Mom is the milking when Im gone. Is there anyway possible aroind that every other weekend?

Nope. They must be milked regularly. What about your aunt? Milking is a very soothing task (when the goat is trained) and quite stress-relieving and satisfying....
