Goats here, especially small ones bring a lot of money. I'd say $100 - $500 depending on what it is

Our type was quoted at a buck fifty/ PYGMY.
A friend of ours has full sized BOER Goats that sell from 4-5 smack-a-roo's

Omg...hoof trimming a flock/herd in your cases is AWFUL! Ugh!

I read in an old (70/80s)horse magazine I bought about picking for the stance of the pastern, it's more straight legged than illustrations show on picking show. I thought it was a very progressive thought. So I've picked replacement stock based on that. I went from trimming the entire sheep flock that first year (37 with rams when I started...omg!) to none. My horse has never seen a farrier since she's been here...she was 12. She's 34. She wears off her hooves so evenly...she's like a dream. They used to trim cattle feet here...we shipped those animals and have been picking replacements with a good leg/foot stance. The only bulls that come home are ones with excellent feet. We haven't trimmed hooves since we took over the herd in 2011. Thankfully.:p

These are photos when he was young and loving.
I will post photos later if I get on the computer. My tablet is limited. Bob has zillions.
A week before he was put down, DH went into Bam's pen to repair something and he blind sided him, hooked DH by the ankle while he was on the ground and dragged him about 10 feet to the corner and pinned him down. DH yelled out to me and I came out to the garden hose and got him away. He kept going up and down on his hind legs and showing Bob he was the King of the farm. They hate water so he backed off. Bob stomped into the house yelling and cussing and returned with his 357 Mag. I was balling crying and begging him not to shoot him. He fired 6 shots into the ground and Yelled "you may be king of the farm but I God @#$&%$#@.
A week or 2 later he busted out and stroked out Miss Shelia. Shelia was Bob's baby. His first Goat ever.
He said Go shopping... NOW! I came back a couple hours later and No more Bam Bam.
He was named RHODIE before he started destroying everything... renamed Bam Bam accordingly in his later years.
He was my first baby goat ever. :(

Well, for a meddling fussing near-broody obsessed hatcher, it is fun to be more hands on. It's nice to not have to cut outings short to check on/turn eggs though.
