Sat was crazy again.  Lots of consignments stuff, roosters, hens, quail, baby chicks, rabbits. Lots of stuff, household, kids clothes, chicken waterers, household, decor.  The livestock sale was slow.  only had 56 head.  Had a guy that was supposed to bring 14 goats and one with about 20+ sheep and they didn’t show.  Think they live where the big rains were.they probably couldnt get the stock out.  This crazy Ok weather seems to be on sale weekend or right before.  But soon we’ll be griping about the heat and no rain!

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 56 head, a mixture of goats and sheep.  The sheep were either Jacob Sheep or Jacob x hair sheep. They were sold by head as Jacob sheep bring more by head depending on the horn configuration   Some went up and some went down.  Quality and age usually is the difference. You can check best price to ave price and tell a lot about how they sold. And the market for pygmies is like a yoyo.  Up one sale and down the next sale. Last time we had a nice big dapple billy and he sold very well.  This time only 2 billys- one was a milk goat billy and billies dropped in price.
