Business is getting hectic around here. I can't seem to grow my Wethers fast enough for the demand. My ever growing clientel of Goat meat buyers are bitting at my heals for home grown Goat meat....
I sold my remaining Nubian wethers just now for some huge feast. They will be picked up tomorrow and taken to some Kosher butchershop .
One of my Muslim customers is having a wedding and Goat is on the menu, looks like he'll come out and pick a Boer tomorrow aswell. Then he has a special diet he prepaid for, for me to feed to the lucky Boer to fatten him up fast. (There is some Beer involved, lol.)

Glad to hear the Goat business is booming. Congratulations and wishing you continued success. What type of beer will the goats have? Imported? lol

And regarding the bunnies, you don't have to wait as long as goats and sheep, 30-35 days at the most. Hoping to hear about kits soon.

Well I didn't sleep a wink....special. Might as well start up the tractor and feed some hay to the Cows. Got our first real taste of winter yesterday.

The two High school kids I had bottle feeding were upset to hear about the Lambs, especially the girl. If they want to do it again there will be more coming in spring time.

How's Rolley doing? I knew I forgot to ask something. Truly thrilled to hear Rolley is slowly on the mend. Amazing how resilient some are.

Also how's your Wife doing? Seeing Rolley doing better helping her? Hope so.

I'm so glad that something positive like two kids changing from disregarding animals well being to being worried about them and caring for them was able to come out of the situation with your llama.

Price of goat meat is sky rocketing around here, would have almost been worth it to hold a few back and feed them a little longer, We took in a doeling on Saturday that was having a health problem, and she brought $145 and was around 75lbs, IN the fall we were getting around $120 for the same sized goat. Wish I had more to sell. For the first time we actually talked about buying some kids off of people that were under pricing themselves on craiglist and raising them in isolation pens and reselling them.

May I ask about what you are expecting per lb live weight, at this time?
