Found homes for my goats!
Just wanted to update that I was able to find homes for all my goats. My two wethers went to a home where they will be loved as pets/weed eaters. My does went to the former owner of my buck, where they will be bred to a nigerian dwarf buck. And my buck went to a home where he will be bred to nubian does! I'm really happy that they all went to fantastic homes, even though I miss them terribly. Hopefully once we are moved to Alabama I'll be able to get goats again.See More
"The way we do it on the two group I am in on Facebook is we just say up for discussion and then direct everything to messages then to email that way any mention of buy sell or trade is completely off facebook. Now the Icelandic chicken group directs…"
"Yes, I am aware of that. We've advertised horses on there and been able to get the posts on there, so I guess we'll see. "
"Okay, I knew you shouldn't keep them in a barn. So basically leave them loose in their pasture."
"I live in Illinois where we've had two tornados come close enough that we could hear them, and we could see one of them. Several have touched down and caused a ton of damage in towns and on farms within 15 minutes of us. Unless you want to take…"
"Advertising live animals is against Facebook's terms of service, which is why I didn't mention it. You can get kicked off of Facebook for violating their TOS. At the very least, your post can get deleted automatically by their bots if they…"

"Thanks for the tips Pamela! I'll look into advertising them on Facebook."
"Here in New Mexico we have a couple of facebook groups New Mexico Sheep and Goats and New Mexico Livestock and Farm Supply. Both places are a great for finding serious buyers that are at the very least trying to do it correctly. Perhaps you have…"
"Yes, I understand that you have to be very careful with Craigslist. That is why I asked if you know of any better places to sell them.
Thanks!"
"Be very careful about screening people from Craigslist. I only advertised goats on there one time, and that was more than enough to last me a lifetime. I got way too many crazy people calling -- people who had obviously not done any homework on…"
Best places to sell goats?
Well, we have officially decided to make the move to Alabama, as my dad was offered a job there. I went back in forth in my mind trying to decided whether or not to keep my goats and bring them to AL, or if I should sell them in Arizona. I ended up deciding that the best choice for me is to sell them. Because, number one, I don't want to deal with the stress of moving them (we already have 4 dogs and 2 horses to move, plus all of our belongings.), number two, we probably won't be buying a…See More
"Another thing to consider: If they have never traveled before (locally or otherwise), you might take them on short trips so they are somewhat familiar with the noises and smells. It might make a difference on how stressed they are during…"
"Thank you for responding, Glenna. I am definitely very attached to my goats. I'm leaning towards taking them, provided that we can find a property that has a setup."
"Thanks for your response, Deborah. I will certainly take into account the issue of parasites. "
