Wow, I missed out on this conversation some how.
I think she is worth every bit of the 1,500. Just beautiful.
I went to a farm , that was charging not just 1,500 but 7,000 to 10,000 per unprooven kid. They had goats standing there for 20,000 and 30,000 that they paid that were 4 to 6 months old. Certainly they weren't prooven. Crazy crazy prices,
Over half of them weren't even papered, they were just for making wethers.
We have 1,000 into Indie our paint doe, and she has no papers, she is commercial.
queeen Mum, I respect your opinion, but you are underestimating the huge dollar amounts that are in the boer industry.
Not just the boer industry, The gentlemen we purchase our show lambs from. Spends on average, 20 to 30,000 for his rams.
And as my dad said to me, "My husband and I dont' go on vacation, we don't spend hardly anything on electronics or fancy things for our home, If we want to spend 2,000 on a goat, and our family enjoys it. Why the heck not?"
I was at a farm a little while back looking at rabbits for my son, a small farm. And they had 5 or 6 boer goats. I commented to him they were nice. I was surprised to just randomly see such quality stock. He didn't miss a beat when he told me, he paid $7,000 for the buck, so when his grandkids showed at the county fair they would have nice kids. Got to love that grandpa. I have been to the fair, it is a small fair with not many goats.
Sorry, Roll, I will stop high-jacking your thread.
