Goats need basic housing to keep them dry (goats HATE to get wet) and to protect them from wind during the winter. Do you have predetor issues? Coyotes, bear and fox can all be predators of goats, but the #1 killer of goats is... read more....

Baby Goats
All baby goats are ready to go to their new homes - ON A BOTTLE - at 2 weeks old. They will need to be fed 3x a day for at least a few weeks and then can be weaned to 2x a day. They can go to 1x a day around 8-9 weeks old. They should be bottlefed for a minimum of 12 weeks old. Doe kids should really be bottle fed for a minimum of 20 weeks (but its just 1x a day after 8-9 weeks and they guzzle it down in a minute!).If you are brand new to goats, I can help you out with a few sample sizes of some common meds and items you should have on hand (remind me before pickup!!!!). The babies are used to Pritchard nipples. I get the ones with a washer, they don't leak in any bottle type. The ones without a washer leak in all but a few bottle types. Here is a helpful link to pritchard nipples, but you can find them elsewhere as well: https://www.premier1supplies.com/p/pritchard-teat?criteria=pritchard
Wondering why all the different prices for different breedings? The prices are based on many factors, including, LA scores from the buck/doe AND their lines, DHIR records from the buck/doe AND their lines, age of the doe (first freshener's kids are going to be generally cheaper, a doe with only a kidding left in her may have their kids priced higher...etc.), predictability of the outcome of the breeding (linebreeding, repeat breeding...etc.).
Bottle kids need a similar age, 100% bottle kid buddy (doesn't have to be from me!). For the kid's sake, and for yours, for a pleasant purchasing experience for everyone, PLEASE make sure you have another similar age, 100% bottle kid buddy for any kids you get from me. If you have dam raised kids only, the dams won't let the new kid near them. The new kid will be so desperate for companionship, he will keep going back and the dams will step up their agression until they hurt the new kid. Please make sure you have another 100% bottle buddy for them! I usually have some available. Wether companions (to registered girls or bucks) are only $100 and you could easily just sell the companion after your doe kid is well established into the herd. So much better for the kid, so much less stress. Regular price for wethers is $150. For those buying JUST wethers, I do require minimum purchase of two. :)

Pet bottle babies (not registered) are $150 each. Must buy at least two unless also purchasing a registered kid. "To be" wethers are FREE with purchase of one or more registered babies.
