Tips on Buying Goats

Description
How do you avoid scams when buying goats? Should you buy registered goats? How do you know you're buying healthy goats? If you are getting started with goats or still building your herd, you probably have a few questions. In this episode, I'm answering all of the above questions and more. I also talk about why you should not buy goats from the sale barn, and what questions to ask a breeder when goat shopping.  Since I teach college, I can spot plagiarism a mile away. I share some of my secrets with you, so you can figure out if a website is legitimate or if it's a bunch of photos stolen from Instagram and Facebook along with paragraphs of text that have been copied from the websites of legitimate goat breeders.
