I am selling my wehters , Nigerian Dwarfs for 50.00 with papers and 35.00 without. I agree that 275.00 for a wether is very high, you should be able to buy a good buck for that price or less.
If I have bottle baby wethers (at 6 weeks, it *should* still be on milk), I sell them from between $0 and $35, depending on age/size. Weaned wethers are usually $40-$50, again, depending on size. I have NEVER sold a wether for more than $50. Ever.
I am going to be selling my does (mini-manchas). I have two adult does and one doeling. A friend is going to be taking one or two of them (she isn't sure yet), but I will have at least one to sell. You are not far from me at all. Let me know if you might be interested. I also know a lady in Elsinore who may have some first generation mini-manchas for sale.
I am in Pomona, not too far from you at all. I am actually going out to Elsinore today to pick up my girls (I was out of town and she was goat-sitting for me).
Just wanted to let you know that the lady I mentioned before actually lives in Perris and she said she has a couple first generation, non-papered wethers for sale right now. I will probably only have one doe for sale, so if you are looking for pets only she would be the one to contact. If you want a milker, you could take one of my does and maybe get a wether from her for a companion.
PotterWatch I think that I would like a milker. Are you available to let me see the mini lamanchas tomorrow or this weekend. My daughter has school tomorrow in Pomona and has a long brake between classes.
