Okie, so I am going to likely purchase these two does from Anna. These girls are both from the Sugar Pine herd and unfortunately are on the wild side. . . . because of that they are priced slightly lower than normal. Anna said I can have both for $525 since I've bought so many goats from her.

Sugar Pine FD Ocean Mist
Sire: Hayseed Farms FA Flash Dancer (Hayseed Farms Final Answer x MCH Gay-Mor Lucky Native Dancer)
Dam: Flat Rocks Sea Breeze Jubilee (Flat Rocks Gem x Flat Rocks Celebration
Misty is a proven, four-year-old, buckskin doe bred to a blue eyed buck for November kids. She has very nice conformation and a good udder w/ big teats, orifices, and an average amount of milk.

Sugar Pine FD Shadow Dance
Sire: Hayseed Farms FA Flash Dancer (Hayseed Farms Final Answer x MCH Gay-Mor Lucky Native Dancer)
Dam: Mountain Quest Ghost (Piddlin' Acres Maverick x Mountain Quest Minnie Delight)
Gold & white yearling doe, ready to breed (I'll breed her to my polled buck, Lance). She has nice conformation. Her dam was very nice older doe w/ a great udder and won GCH her only time in the show ring.

What do you think? To buy or not to buy? I don't really want to work on taming them down but they are nice & I like their bloodlines. . . .

if they're proven i would get them. you can always tame them when you milk. it worked for me. all my goats except the bucks were wild

I really like Ocean Mist, she is gorgeous! I like Shadow Dance also, but definately not as much as Mist. They both are really nice little does and would fit in well with any herd. I don't like that they aren't that tame, but i'm sure with treats and just messing with them they will calm down. Anna's giving you a great deal on them that's for sure! I say go for it, both are lovely girls! :thumb:

I think I'm going to avoid wild goats from here on out. I just don't like to have to chase them. If you have time to work with them and tame them down then they'd probably be good. I haven't see the udders on those two so I can't really say one way or the other on those two. Good luck!

 

[capriola-nd]

I don't really want to deal with them but then I kind of already told Anna I would get them (I had to make the decision quick). I feel like their price is a little high for wild goats. Anna sold me a gorgeous wild doe last year, bred for only $175 - she's actually these does' half-sister. That's quite low but I offered Anna $500 for the pair, she said she couldn't do that. Oh well. . . . I tamed down the other doe fairly easy, it's pretty easy to catch her now and I can milk her too. I'm just torn w/ decisions and wondering whether I should spend the money on these girls. I'll figure it out. . . .

I've been in a position like that. This breeder by us has about 20 kids a year. Really gorgeous, good lines, genetics, just great all around goats. Well, she posts every kid on her website at one time. It's a first come first serve kinda thing. I had to make a really tough decision on a buck kid as many people were interested in him. It was now or never, I chose to get him. The price was outrageous in my opinion, but there were others willing to pay his price. I was kinda wondering if I should have comitted to my purchase. I bought him without taking a look at him, bought him on pictures. If I had taken my time to shop around i'm sure I could have found a buck just as good for the same money, but I'm happy I got the little guy, he's sooooo cute and I just love him. At the time you told Anna you would take them you might have had a different thought on the whole thing. I've done this a couple times. After I think about it I'm glad I bought the goats, but i'm not sure if I would have found something better or if they were worth my $$$. Hope you get what I meant by this?? I'm a little tired so please excuse me if it doesn't make sense!!!

I have a friend down in Pleasant Hill, OR who is/was selling 4 AGS reg. nigerians for $125 each. They all are young, proven kidders, CAE & CL neg., color, good udders, all are very friendly, and good lines. If you'd like I can see if she still has them. In my opinion that's an awesome deal! But I think Anna's deal is pretty good too...decisions are tough for sure! :GAAH:

 

[capriola-nd]

Yeah, that made sense. I know which breeder you're talking about. . . . her prices are kind of "up there".

I just emailed Anna and told her I cannot get them, feel guilt about changing my mind but for some reason it just didn't "feel right". I just need to trust my gut feeling that is wasn't right for me now, so, that's how it went. . . . thanks for the advice everyone!

Kylee: If you could see if they are still available that would be cool.

 

[StaceyRosado]

people back out all the time. YOu will get use to it as a breeder. Sometimes things just dont feel right or it isnt the right timing.

 

[KW Farms]

I'll shoot her an email today and see if she still has them. She usually responds pretty quick, so i'll let you know soon!

 

[capriola-nd]

Yeah, I'm already really used to it and I get very frustrated with people sometimes - so I hate to do that to someone else. But, I just can't get them now, so hopefully she understands. . . . told her I was sorry.

 

[KW Farms]

Hey Olivia, Just received an email from her today, said she just sold three 2 days ago and she decided to keep the other one, but :shrug: when I was last there she had about 6 does left so she might disperse some more later this year. I will definately keep my eye open for ya though!

 

[Suellen]

I would rather someone back out of a buy then to sell the goat or chicken to someone who isn't sure they want them.

Suellen

 

[capriola-nd]

Thanks for trying Kylee. Can you tell me who the breeder is? Just curious. . . . I know just about everyone around here.

Suellen: Yeah, I definitely agree with you on that one. I don't want to sell my goats to someone who will just give them away to some weirdo or something like that. My goaties are pets and deserve "forever homes". Good thing I didn't get them, just counted our herd and it's almost at 15, and I still want to keep a doe kid or two! So, it all worked out okay.

Thats great you made the right decision, even with temptation :thumb: I had to do the same thing last week - it was HARD!!

I had the same dilemma You made the right choice not getting them, capriola. Skittsh goats are no fun to try and milk, or clip, or trim...

Her name's Kate, not sure on last name, I believe Hudson or Hubson,,,something like that. She had about 12 ags nigis, but sold off the herd and now only has a few. Doesn't have a website...really nice lady!
