More goats will be added each month as they
are born or as decisions are made... so stay tuned! I am going to
be cutting way back this year, so LOTS will be for sale.
Note: because of the very large percentage
of bucks to does this year, many of the buck kids that are not sold by fall
will be wethered and offered again at a discounted rate after shearing.
If you are interested in fiber and not breeding stock, wethers are the way
to go! Let me know which ones I can save for YOU.
A GOOD HOME NEEDED
I.S. Bunnie This is an aged doe that needs a good home
to live out the remainder of her days. She is sweet and affectionate , and
was a top notch doe in her day. She still has fine mohair, but will
probably not breed. She belongs to Fran Stotler, who has taken excellent
care of her, but needs to downsize. Fran would like alittle something
for her, but I am sure it is negotiable. If you think you might be able to
provide a home for this sweetheart, contact Fran at stotfm@fidnet.com
