They're female, one the mama of the other. The "baby" is about 1 1/2 yrs old. They're both quite plump and healthy-looking. In fact, the baby looks so rotund, I thought she was pregnant. (Can you tell I'm new at this goat project?)

Wanting to sell on Craigslist. Suggestions on a good price?
 
What area you in? that can make a difference. Check your local craigs list and see how much other people in your area are charging. Are they registered? That makes a big difference too. Got pics?
 
Like was already said, check other ads in your area to establish a base price. Then, add/subtract accordingly for registration, milking ability, etc.
You can ask what you want for them, but ultimately, the going price is whatever someone is willing to actually pay for them.
Good luck with them!

Well, they're gone! Whew! Kinda relieved that my fruit trees won't continually be at risk, and kinda missing them b/c they were sweet.

I'm in NC. Sold 'em for $90 each w/o papers. Works for me since I never paid for them in the first place. :) Now to buy more animals..... Maybe sheep.
 
That was a good price. I'm sure they sold fast. I'm in SC and go to a sale barn near the SC/NC border often. You see boar goats, without papers, sell for 150 every Saturday night..sometimes more.
