Hi all, Would like some input on selling goats for market from anyone with experience. Do you just take them to a sale barn as you do cattle? Also do you have a prefered weight to sell them at for the best price,and is there any certian time of year that you do better? It will be a tough thing to do but I new when we started raising goats that we could not keep all of them for pets.(I have to be realistic).Most wethers and on a rare occassion a doe will have to be sold other than to someone for 4 H projects or as a pet or for breeding. At least I do not name the wethers that will have to go, it makes it just a little easier that way. Thanks for any and all imput. Sentimential Slob, Gloria
