Carla D-Great new adventures and an Amazing Life

[Carla D]

Are there even any in the US? With exotic new breeds, the price is usually extremely high and stays high until they become common. Cool looking goats though.

I think there are a very few in the US. But, they typically need to be shipped in. From what I can figure out they are the ancestors of the American Nubian. They have also been around since the 1950’s, but I can’t find any other historical facts about them. Here’s a few sites that have a bit of information. There is also a major discrepancy about the cost of a kid. One site I found the were less than $200. Another site they were being sold for $2000+.

There was/is an agreement in the works to include all of Great Britain in this but I haven't heard if it has been officially stamped for approval.

You and Latestarter sure know a lot about a lot of stuff. It’s kinda nice to have met the two of you. Straight from the hip, no minced words, and matter of factly. It never occurred to me that there would be import restrictions on livestock. But I guess things can get a little sticky with interstate transactions as well. At least DH doesn’t like buying out of state animals.

Does he insist they "baaaa!" with a Wisconsin accent?

Some I know from experience, but a lot, I research to find out.
The hardest, most expensive and most lasting lessons are from your own experiences.
The cheapest and easiest are from the lessons others have learned via 'their' experiences.

I used to know quite a bit. The older I get, the less I know. In fact some of what I used to know, I am finding I no longer do... I "know" a very little, about a lot.

I suffer from something similar as well. There are things I used to be confident about my knowledge of. Now, I find myself questioning or second guessing myself. I haven’t even hit 50 yrs old.

I used to know quite a bit.

As did I. As a matter of fact, (like most ppl) back when I was not quite 20, I knew everything.........

Now, there are things i know...things I don't know.
Things I don't know I know, and things I don't know I don't know, and things I know I don't know.

 

[Latestarter]

Yup GB, that about covered all the bases.

 

[Carla D]

I think that it does cover all of the bases.
