get a contract if you can. we have a really great billy that has produced some winners at the local shows. several people have approached us about breeding to him. having 4h kids and wanting to help, we agreed the first time, to board and breed 2 beautiful nanies, they would give us $50 apiece and they would provide feed. the goats would be here 45 days. they were in confinement the whole time, hence, they were on sacked feed the whole time. we got 2 sacks of feed, kept the goats 90 days, never recieved a penny, the local extension agent slipped over one afternoon while we were gone and picked up the goats. to make it worse, our kids have had to compete against the kids from this breeding. they had two sets of triplets, 3each sex, they were jackpotted and won many times , two were sold in the sale of majors shows, one fopr 1600, one for 2500. not even a thank you.
we didn't learn, we got stupider.
local ag teacher looses the place he is keeping his childrens animals, is going to sell all the show goat nannies. my kids buy 4, he begs to leave 5 here to be bred for pick of each set of kids, plus he will provide feed for them. he will pick his up in 45 days. we got 8 sacks of feed this time, we've had the goats now for 8 months. they have kidded, 3 died due to parasites, after they kidded, some were weaned, some not. we assumed, yeah i know, that the ag teacher would have done cd&t, worming, cae, etc. he never did a thing, we were worming and they could take the infestation until they kidded, then they got down and died, we couldn't figure out why until i autopsied the second one. normal doses of vanbazen, ivermec, safeguard only take care of new parasites, they do little for established worms.
you really need to know the animals and the people you are dealing with.
