Thanks for all the help everybody!n.smithurmond said:You could purchase does in milk (although quality adults won't be any cheaper than kids) but eventually you'll have to rebreed them if you want to keep them in milk. That means you'll need to be prepared for kids at some point.Natermotor said:Another question: Do you think that since I don't want to really have to deal with all the requirements, mainly time, of kids, that some breeder near me would be willing to sell me some older does for a relatively low price? I also want opinions about wether I should by older goats of kids.

I just wanted to say that I would rather start with a doe in milk so that I could get a feel on how to take care of goats and also set up a schedule.
Question: Will a doe raise all her kids by herself, or do I have to do it?
Thanks!
