I have been involved with goats for over 20 years, starting with grade dairy goats.
My farm currently has over 40 head of registered full blood, purebred, and percentage Boer goats. Our herd began with one full blood buck and two very pregnant grade Boer does. It rapidly grew from three goats to nine when the does kidded.
Numerous articles have been written extolling the virtues of using goats as weed-control and their kids as meat, but how does one economically begin to assemble a meat herd?
Boer goats, bred for meat, can be costly with percentage does usually starting at $100 and purebred and full blood does starting at $400 and climbing from there. Registered dairy does can also be in the $200 range. How does one make sure that every dollar is spent wisely?
