If it’s a good breed, pretty color, slick, fat it will bring top price. People are looking for QUALITY breeding stock or good meat products. Excellent quality is bringing top prices. Skinny, old, scruffy, or sickly the prices drop off petty fast. Still depends on demand as to where prices go. Most of our stock comes straight off the farm. We do not have someone bring us a big load of trader goats to bring up our no’s. Often the lighter weights bring more than the heavy weights. And Quality makes a big difference. We had 208 head, a mixture of goats, hair sheep, wool sheep and cross bred wool/hair sheep. Several items went up and some went down. Quality probably the difference. You can check best price to ave price and tell a lot about how hey sold. And the market for pygmies is like a yoyo. Up one sale and down the next sale.
