Hello Hello!
hope ya'll are doing fine today
this forum looks like a great resource, especially for newbies like me!
I'm in NJ, interested in raising up a few baby goats, eventually for milk! yum
I've signed up today with a few questions in mind:
1. Am I too late to purchase kids, this year? I was INITIALLY under the impression that you could buy goats any time of the year so I've been looking online this past month for kids. Unfortunately, everywhere I look in central NJ, they're sold out. Is it not the right time to purchase goats or should I keep looking?
2. If I should keep looking, are there any breeders in central New Jersey you can recommend or have heard good things about and definitely have female kids available?? name/contact info would be much appreciated! (I checked the breeder-by-state post, but all the breeders there seem to be all out of goats!)
3. Should I be wary of kids that are still up for sale? I found a few listings in PA for does available, but assuming there's a "perfect time to buy kids", is it more likely that those still available have something wrong with them or just haven't been sold yet?
onder:
any guidance would be awesome!
thanks!
