10 THOUSAND!?!?!is that American or New Zealand dollars??? I don’t know the exchange rate so don’t know which is less but wow that is a lot of money!!!
Here they can be pretty expensive, they can get up to like $800 or $1,000 for really good milking lines and pedigree and that stuff but usually not. Usually even well bred ones are like $400, $500, $600, around there. But some get as low as $200, $300. But anyway, those are for super well bred, registered, breeding does and bucks. Wethers, of any breed, are usually around like $125, $150, $175, sometimes less. But anyway, long story short, I thought some of the $800 ones or even the $400 ones were expensive/a rip off but definitely nowhere near as much as $10,000!! $500 or even $1,000 seems extremely reasonable now!!! LOL but there are also a ton of Nigerian Dwarfs here, at least in my area, and a lot of really good nationally known breeders/lines right in New England so they can’t up the prices too much ha but usually even from the same breeder, price is highly dependent on the parents and some other factors. So the same one can have $200 does and $600 ones.
That's NZD, which converts to $8,646 USD with todays exchange rate. There's one person that has recently started importing them which is why they are so expensive. Maybe one day the price will come down, but I just love the Nubians. Thankfully they are a lot more common here!
