So excited - new goats are home... pics pg 3

[Roll farms]

I am signed up to bid during the Splash of Color goat sale this Saturday in Tenessee.

The 3 goats I really, really want will probably go wayyy over my budget.
BUT...I have 3 or 4 (or 6) others written down that I will 'settle' for...

I'm looking for SPOTS.

Here's a link to the sale:

http://www.boergoats.com/tools/catalog/public0.php

You can click on the top right list and see pics of the animals up for sale.

A fellow I've bought from in the past (Freedom Farm) is taking some goats there from his place in OH, and has agreed to bring mine back, he'll meet me Sunday morning near Cincinnati.

Is it Saturday yet???

*taps foot*

Of course, 10 minutes after I buy one, Peyton (spotted 75% doe) will spit out twin 88% black spotted doelings...

Oh that sounds so exciting......congrats I cant wait to see them

I would be excited too if it were me I just love all the different color goats. My favorite are the ones with cow patch coloring, but I have recently began seeing people with spotted goats and they are so cute.

I am excited for you Roll, i have always wanted to go to one of those sales.

Good luck on your bids.

I had originally sorta planned to go...but Peyton still hasn't kidded and I still have kids on 3x a day bottles soooooo...when I found out Steve at F. Farm would bring mine back, I decided to go virtually, LOL.

It's ridiculous how excited I am about this. Sure hope it doesn't end up being a big let down if everything goes for 3 or 4 grand.

I'm not THAT crazy.

OK, if I had that kinda money, I probably would be.

Good luck. I hope you get the goats that you want.

I was wondering what would you expect to pay, or what are the ranges in price. I realize there are many deciding factors, bloodlines, ect...... but I am assuming nothing would be in my price range of under 800 or so. Normally 500 or so is the most I will put out.

If you don't mind let us know some of the prices of the higher end and lower end. And any other insights you have on the pricing.

Thanks.

Hmmm...it was working for me this morning, now it's not...Try this

If that doesn't work, just google "Splash of Color Sale" and follow the yellow brick road.
The show list / pics / etc. are at www.boergoats.com

I have no idea what the prices will be. I'm willing to go up to $1500.00 for the one doe I want the most. My dh is poopin' his pants over it...but...I'm calling it a good investment.

I'm not going to say which one it is, I don't want to jinx myself...but y'all will hear me whoopin' and hollerin' if I get her, LOL.

I'm not "just" buying spots, either...there are some spotted goats on there I wouldn't bring home for 50$....I'm going for conformation, good teats, AND color....a nice pedigree won't hurt, either.

I sold over $1600.00 worth of goats this past week....so it's not like I am just blowing 'our' money, it's goat money made to buy more goats.
