We're looking to get our first goats next year for both meat and milk and I think the fainting goats are the cutest! <br />Breeding them still seems a bit over my head though.<br />Can you do a cost to return on your expenses and values? <br />I'm already losing a lot with my old flock of hens - but in many ways it's been worth the cost for the learning experiences. (We have too many roosters but they are all 'special'!)<br />Thanks for sharing the journey you're on.Laureli https://www.blogger.com/profile/03648493780017930693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1743489061168063955.post-53764722344444972512012-06-28T22:24:23.008-04:002012-06-28T22:24:23.008-04:00Debbie we are selling him because he is blood rela...Debbie we are selling him because he is blood related to some of our girls.

I was first thinking a Saanen / Boer cross, but then sold the doe (VERY big) and now not sure I want to have my best milker bred to a Boer if it will cause birthing complications. <br /><br />Are you going to be raising your goats for meat or dairy or both?Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14436557172029575513noreply@blogger.com
