Granny's gone and done it again

I'm trying to get a buck for Roxie. Any insight Cap? Original plan was to pick up something at the sale barn, keep him a month, then sell him again. No DH wants to just borrow a buck. But our goats haven't had any testing, so I'm not sure how that's going to work.

Depends on what is available in your area. I had a doe come in to be bred before but would hesitate to let my buck go out. You never know what might happen.
I would not recommend a sale barn for anything. Those places are hotbeds of disease. I have seen some very nasty boils and such there, animals near death etc. You might be able to find someone with a buck to lease out. Or if you buy one, you can always resell. You know the buck is the most important goat in the herd, so you might as well find a good one. What breed?

She's a nigerian dwarf, so I need a nigerian dwarf or pygmy. We don't have a herd, but want babies for the summer. Small mixed breed goats are fairly popular around here, so I'm not worried about selling them after the summer. I just can't find any bucks for sale right now.

Have you checked on the goat groups on Facebook? I have been seeing lots there and on Craigslist.

Yep. Nothing local right now. Of course there are hundreds when I don't need one. :/

Any local 4h-ers have goats nearby?

morning, You ok Camp?
I woke at 5 again but forced myself to lay there and dozed for about an hr. more. Big ol headache.
There is a heavy frost on the ground

we have snow on the ground as I don't think frost gets inch or better deep. And to think a year ago it was 73* on this day here.

No clue. I posted in a group and texted a couple folks. Guess we'll see what happens.

I never lose weight no matter what I do. I have been the same weight for more yrs then I care to count.
