I've been talking about it for months; I finally went and done it!
I'm signed up on my local cheapcycle site. Today I saw this ad "Moving and must sell my goat herd". I opened the ad and read that she had the two breeds of goats that I wanted (nubian and boer). I gave her a call and she gave me an offer I couldn't refuse. Sooooo I went and bought some goats!
I intended to buy 3 boer nannies, 1 boer buck, and a nubian doe. But I got there and fell in love with an alpine doeling she had. I came home with the alpine doeling, 1 boer nanny with her buckling (white with red hood), and a solid red boer yearling.
She had a very friendly nubian nanny that I really wanted too. I told myself only 1 milker so I had to chose between the nubian or the alpine. Since one of the boers had a 2.5 month old buckling I chose to take the 3 month old alpine so that he would have someone to play with.
I also found another great deal on two more boer doelings. They're 7 months old and would be a great addition to my herd. I'll go pick them up next weekend.
All of my boers are white with red hoods (even the two I haven't picked up yet) except the one solid red one. I would like to find a white buck with a black hood so I can add some black to my herd. But they seem to be hard to find.
My goat herd
Boer Doe - 100% I haven't chose a name for her yet
Boer Yearling Doe - Comet
Boer Buckling - 100% - Billy (original huh?)
Alpine Doeling - Galaxy (also called Gallie)
