As long as she passes the health inspection then I would go for it. She is a nice looking doe and looks to be healthy. Get a fecal done also and have him worm her accordingly. before breeding. Also make sure her copper is good also.Check her feet. The reason I am saying this is they can bring all different kinds of things to your farm and infect your other goats.
Yes some goats are expensive if the lines behind them are good and the dams have been showed and ranked high.
I know about selective breeding but her being 3 she should of at least kidded once. Make sure the buck throws small kids also with it being her first time. Good luck

Aw shes purty! One of my wethers has that coloration but blue eyes (why oh why did i band the blue eyed one!?) Buster is my colorful one, the other 3 are brown and white. I would breed her for sure! The more color the better!

She is super cute! If you have the information on the buck, I would try to find some pictures of some of his other offspring (so you could get an idea of what his babies look like). If you like what you see - have her bred. If not, there are always other bucks out there. Does this person have any other does for sale?? I'm looking for a few more, to add to my herd, but they are hard to find! I have 2 does that are running with my buck (red and white, blue eyes), so hopefully we will have babies in the spring!

Mamabird - This is the only doe that he has for sale. He will have babies in the spring. I might also.

Good luck! I'll watch for birth announcements:

She's a flashy beauty ! I'd have everything I needed to have checked about her before buying her. If you have checked her out and are getting her -

Well we are going to see Roxie in person along with the Buck that is visiting. If I give the gentleman a deposit then Roxie gets to move to the "Happy" pen with the buck and other does. Two months later, she comes home to live with us here and a few months after that, we have babies.

I received all of the information on Roxie and the Buck. I forwarded it to Kate (Helmstead) who said things look good, other than that Roxie is not a provin mom or udder. Thanks Kate for your help!!

So she is $300. There is a $40 stud fee which is refundable if she does not deliver babies. What should I do? $300 is a lot of money.
