Here's the low down on getting top dollar for your commercial meat goats: Google search ethnic holidays for meat goat marketing. Several websites will pop up and there you will find a printable calendar with the dates of the holidays & what weight is desirable for each occasion. Target those markets and get your animals to the sale barn 2 to 3 weeks early so they have time for transport and processing. The buyers will give top dollar for animals in good flesh but sloppy fat is not desirable. If animals are thin buyers will pay much less because they will have to be fed out to the desirable slaughter weight. Never take good doe kids to the sale barn. They should be marketed over the internet and sold off your Farm or Ranch. No commission fees. Always ask more than current slaughter market value. Take the best pictures that you can. Get down low at the animals level and have the sun behind you. Keep in mind that your barn area is your store front. Every farm and ranch has a fencing stockpile and a bunch of new and used equipment . Have all that stuff out of sight behind the barn or way out in the pasture. Variety is the spice of life. Have something available in different price ranges and even different colors. Everybody's got to start somewhere. If all you have is very high dollar fullbloods you will draw only people with big pocket books. Those people just getting started need to start out with commercial or percentage animals and work up to the fullbloods. You make a good customer providing them with their start in the business and they will be coming back to you when they're ready for the fulllblooods. Imagine going into a pizza restaurant and all they have is large pizza everything on it. Or how about a BBQ place that only serves Brisket. Sorry no sausage, no chicken no pork ribs. You are going to take your business to another restaurant down the road.
