.989 Organic Grass Feed

Becky gave birth to her 1st baby boy… 🍖 and girl. The boy is the darker brown one, the bigger one of the two.

I’ve not named him; because he is for sale, trade, or for food. I call them by different food names, so people know not to get too attached to them. They were born to Becky and Bucky on March 8th, 2025. Bucky is 50% Nubian and 50% Nigerian. Becky is approx 25% Nubian, 25% Pyrenean, and 50% Nigerian.

If you want them to breed, you can buy him in May, before I wether him; baby bucks are $275/ea.

After May and before March 2026, they will go for meat/wether price at $175-225/ea. You can use them as a companion animal, a Pet Organic Composting Machine; or you can take it to the market for your specific choice in cuts of meat. Wethers are less valuable or less expensive because of two reasons. They have been castrated, and can no longer breed. Butchers will charger at approximately $125 per goat to process them.

After March 2026, they will be butchered and the price for meat will be $350/ea. I will also have individually wrapped meat prices at that time, if you don’t want the whole goat. I will probably wait till December to cull them. If you wether them, you can wait longer; otherwise you have to call them before a years time. The older they are, the more I change; cause they cost me more to keep them longer.

Next Year, I’ll have Lamb. 2026, we’ll have Pork. Soon, we’ll have Chicken and Guinea Fowl.

Faith gave birth to her 1st baby boy… 🍖

I’ve not named him; because he is for sale, trade, or for food. I call them by different food names, so people know not to get too attached to them. They were born to Faith and Bucky on February 7th, 2025. Bucky is 50% Nubian and 50% Nigerian. Faith is 50% Boer and 50% Alpine.

If you want them to breed, you can buy him in April, before I wether him in April; baby bucks are $275/ea. Though, now that I have more land, I may not be wethering them all in the future; I may just separate the best males from the females. I’ll grow them out on the new land.

After April and before February 2026, they will go for meat/wether price at $175-225/ea. You can use them as a companion animal, a Pet Organic Composting Machine; or you can take it to the market for your specific choice in cuts of meat. Wethers are less valuable or less expensive because of two reasons. They have been castrated, and can no longer breed. Butchers will charger at approximately $125 per goat to process them.

After January 2026, they will be butchered and the price for meat will be $350/ea. I will also have individually wrapped meat prices at that time, if you don’t want the whole goat. I will probably wait till December to cull them. If you wether them, you can wait longer; otherwise you have to call them before a years time.

I’ve not named him; because he is for sale, trade, or for food. I call them by different food names, so people know not to get too attached to them. They were born to Trouble and Bucky on January 16th, 2025. Bucky is 50% Nubian and 50% Nigerian. Trouble is mostly Pyrenean, and part Nubian and/or Nigerian; I think. She is an unknown.

Taco & Bueno – Unfortunately Bueno didn’t make it. Got squished in the goat house by other goats. I don’t quite have a space to keep them separated yet. I’ll be working on that in the future. I now have another property; where I may be separating the buck, so they don’t berth in the winter months.

We lost our baby Ram 🐏 a predator came and snatched it 2 days ago. I traced the tracks and call the trapper, they think it was a coyote; probably the scout 🐺

But yesterday, we had two baby bucks born. They are for sale. They are .989 Organic Grass Feed

I’ve not named then; because they are for sale, trade, or for food. I call them by different food names, so people know not to get too attached to them. They were born to Momba and Bucky on January 13th, 2025. Bucky is 50% Nubian and 50% Nigerian. Momba is mostly Pyrenean and Nigerian, I think. She is an unknown.

When deciding whether to weather a goat or lamb before butchering, it is generally best to weather both as it significantly improves the taste and quality of the meat by removing the strong, “gamey” flavor associated with uncastrated male animals; making a wether goat or a wether lamb the ideal choice for butchering.

Key points about weathering:
Taste improvement:

Castrating young male goats and lambs before they reach sexual maturity greatly reduces the strong odor and flavor of their meat, making it more palatable.

Tenderness:

While some claim goat meat remains tender even from older animals, butchering a younger wether goat generally provides the most tender meat.

Market value:

Most meat markets prefer wether goats and lambs due to the better taste and consumer appeal.

My 1st Ram was born this week. I just got into the sheep business as well; got five ewe’s a couple months ago, and I just bought a Dorper Ram. Apparently some of the ewe’s were already pregnant, cause we just got our 1st baby Ram yesterday January 7th, 2025

He is for sale. I will wether him in March if no one buys him before hand, and butcher him in a years time; if no one buys him before that time.

$350 for Ram

$175 for Wether

meat prices will very, whole sheep will be approximately $350 after processing 🍖

On that note; I have a friend who has two unwethered Rams for sale also. One is very nice, a must buy for your herd; if you need a Ram.

.989 Organic Grass Feed. Chili is sold, Chops is still for sale.

I’ve not named then; because they are for sale, trade, or for food. I call them Chili and Chops, so people know not to get too attached to them. They were born to CutiePie and Bucky on November 22nd, 2024. Bucky is 50% Nubian and 50% Nigerian. CutiePie is mostly Pyrenean and Nigerian, I think. She is an unknown.

If you want them to breed, you can buy them in February 2025, before I wether them in May; they are $275/ea. Chili is the darker one; Chops is the lighter one, who looks a lot like his father.

After February and before July 2025, they will go for meat/wether price at $175/ea. You can use them as a companion animal, a Pet Organic Composting Machine; or you can take it to the market for your specific choice in cuts of meat. Wethers are less valuable or less expensive because of two reasons. They have been castrated, and can no longer breed. Butchers will charger at least $100-125 per goat to process them.

After July, and before the end of the year; they will be butchered and the price for meat will be $350/ea. I will also have individually wrapped meat prices at that time, if you don’t want the whole goat. I will probably wait till August or September to cull them. The last goats I ended up waiting 9 months, one month longer then I had planned; and they turned out about 35lbs each and tasted pretty good. So this year, I might wait 10 months.

I had Summer Sausage made (with cheese and jalapeños), Jerky, Chops, Ground hamburger meat, Roast and more. So far, the Jerky was the least favorite; so I probably won’t be making much of that again.

Chili sold; Chops is still for sale, or will become food. Chili is a good looking goat, his brothers not bad either. Right now, I am wethering boy goats after they weened. We just recently started purchasing more land; so I will wether 50% of them in the future, and grow them both out on the new property. The non-wethers I will butcher sooner; and the wethers, later. From what I understand; wethering them makes the meat more fatty, not wethering them makes it more lean. We will see. What I do know is; if you don’t wether them, you have to butcher them sooner. Otherwise, the meat wont taste as good.

Ramsay had her babies early this morning or late last night 🌙 She got mastitis last time, and lost her last two baby boys; while I was out over the road. 😿 I’ll be home in two days to check on her; my girlfriend took the pictures, and said they were nursing, so that’s a good sign. 🤞 I have some special Feed for her this go around, hope it helps 🙏 I need to formulate an herbal blend for nursing mothers, to help prevent things like that from happening again in the future; I just hadn’t had time to do it yet. Hopefully this supplement I bought will help 🙏

Darlene’s baby, top left. Then CutiePies babies. Bucky, Becky & Paul.

Four more babies born on the land; two to Darlene yesterday, and two to Cutie Pie today. Cutie Pie is also Darlene’s mom. Unfortunately, one of Darlene’s babies didn’t make it 😿 The other three appear to be girls. We need three girl names, to name them.
