Goats

I have three doe goats that I wanted to have bred.  Kids and fresh milk are always nice.  Here most people want $50 a breeding which seems like a lot to me.  That would be $150 for the three.  An ad in Craigs list stated , goats, so I phoned and they had young billies for $30.  3 months old.  After looking at the mother of the young billy, it was a go for me.  We now have a billy for breeding and hopefully he will do his job and we will have kids and fresh milk this Spring.  We are not aiming for purebreds at the moment but we want meat and fresh milk and possibly cheese from the goats.  We also like adding the milk to chicken feed for their diet.
