I am sorry - I am as green with goat knowledge as I was with chickens way back when

That price for a Nubian....

How old?
Buck/doe/wether?
Easy to handle?

Oops, my watch went off - gotta run & get the goat milk out of the freezer.

To further muddy the water, we have three Nigerian Dwarf goats for weed/lawn control. They think they're dogs. I like them because we can transport them in a large dog crate. We don't have a truck, but they'd fit in our small SUV no problem (in the crate, of course).

They're a great size, smaller than a Lab, but they're weed munching machines.

Is he grown, or still a baby? Either way, he's reallly adorable

Is anyone familiar with Pygora? There's a really cute little 2 month old girl here for sale... $100.

It was cheaper for us to just get the three plus some fencing than pay all that.
Then they ate all the weeds and we had to buy them food.
