My vet is going to be using me ND to service his 8 does I live in CNY and currently have a boer buck out for stud service for $50 for 1 doe I have no idea what a good price is for his service any ideas ? I figure when I come up with a good $ amount I will just barter for vet services

Depends on the quality of the buck. If he's not registered then $50-75 per doe would probably be reasonable. If he's registered with good bloodlines and udders, conformation, etc. then i'd charge more like $100+ per doe.

Oh wow he is triple registered from excellent milk lines

If he's all that you should definitely do what KW said then

I charged $200.00 per doe if they are at my home for a month, but he was from the top lines and Grand Champion in show and fleece.

That is great I should be able to get a decent amount for 8 does then so excited

I have one Nigerian Dwarf doe and 2 LaMancha does (One is still too young to breed.)

I traveled an hour and paid $75 for the Nigerian breeding to a proven buck with a decent lineage.

I traveled 45 minutes in the other direction and paid $50 for a LaMancha breeding with an unproven buck (this is his first year breeding) who is also from excellent lines: His mother and several of his sisters are milking champions!

I've called around and these prices are pretty typical here for "driveway breedings". If I were to leave my girls with the breeder I would have to supply the grain and hay and pay an extra $3 per night.

Of course, I live in rural Maine...

I am glad I have bucks I'd hate to have to travel all over to get my does bred even though my Nigerian buck is a stinker!

*shrugs* everyone around here for registered stock charge $25 for a driveway breeding. So that is what I charge, too.
