[@carolmcadams916]

Really enjoyed your honest approach to selling goats for meat. Most people in the goat business doesn't discuss that side but it is part of raising goats.

[@BoisDArcKikos]

Your welcome I try to be very honest and up front. It’s apart of the goat business. Thanks for watching

[@silverpinekikogoats]

That’s a good way to get all your bucklings gone at once, glad it worked out for you. I have to say that I do make quite a bit more than that per kid just on selling them as pets and brush wethers to individual buyers. For that purpose here they go for $150-$225. Thank you for your videos

[@BoisDArcKikos]

Your welcome Appreciate you watching

[@jimmcknight3021]

How do you let people know that you have brush wethers and pets available? 🤔 Wethers are great outdoor pets and awesome for brush control. We started with smaller goats because they are easier to handle as we learn.

[@mcproductions2151]

I seen a car in the line.... wonder how many goats they brought 🤔

There was a couple in line 😳 Thanks for watching

We run Kikos in Ohio and our drop off place likes them to be 70-80 lbs. 40 lbs seems small for market trips.

[@BoisDArcKikos]

Yea the range was 40-50 in our area a couple of years ago but that has went up. We are always pretty get adg higher. Thank for watching

[@themaroonbuck3422]

Addison Ranch also gave positive feedback about Chickasha Meat. I am in the market for a working system for goats. If I recall correctly, you have one from Northeast Gate Co. What is your experience with their product?

[@BoisDArcKikos]

Yes he did. It’s a great working pens setup. Powder coated & made for goats! Thanks for watching

[@justjason7662]

Do you have a video that goes in to the planning and organization of how to raise the kids and sell with a minimum of expense? I’ve heard about needing to keep the buck off the does until the right time to get the kids to drop at the right time and then let them stay on their mommas until they’re ready to ween and then you sell them before you start having to feed. Do you go into all that detail?

[@BoisDArcKikos]

I don’t have a video like that. We control when our bucks go in so we kid out at the same time then we try and meet the higher market prices when we wean in the spring.

[@justjason7662]

@@BoisDArcKikos I’m planning to build my pens this winter and prepare for my first goats for the spring. Some areas I have struggled with learning about are how to layout and plan my pens to make working easier and more efficient, as well as timing/scheduling. I haven’t found any decent material on this topic on KZbin and it sure would help. I’m on fifty acres and planning to use maybe ten of it for goats. But I know nothing about it and haven’t had the time to visit neighboring farms. And even if I did, everyone’s running cows around me. I have about 2 acres dedicated to chickens right now. Things have gone well with that because chickens seem to be so dang easy. It’s hard to screw up.

[@donovanmedieval]

Have there been alot of people who have moved to Oklahoma recently from countries where eating goats is more common?

Yes the demand has been more and more

Could you describe the differences between a #1 goat and #2 categories? What were prices for lower categories? Got a doe who just didn't fill out and will be selling her privately for meat.

[@BoisDArcKikos]

The #1 kids are the more meaty healthy kids #2 kids are the more thin kids. The lower prices from a #1 was about 60-80 cents difference. Thanks for watching

[@carlapeck7858]

It was very informative! Thanks

[@BoisDArcKikos]

[@JTHootman1]

Information that would be helpful. How much more were you able to sell them for at the new location that you were able to get at your previous location. Would definitely help knowing whether it was worth the drive.

[@BoisDArcKikos]

They brought 50-75 cents more per pound. Appreciate you watching

[@Wazlonestar]

I appreciate your video and I have subscribed. How much can a goat farmer make per year?

[@BoisDArcKikos]

Thank you. Depends on your size of operation.

[@JohnWood-tk1ge]

New to your channel. I grew up with an uncle that always had goats,I have a small place and am getting into goats. Right now I have been buying commercial does. You seem like a very honest friendly person,my question is would Kiko or Boer be the best buck to get for a herd sire? I live north of Albany NY about even with Bennington Vermont. Things are very green here with a lot of rain. There are both breeds around me. I like the hardiness of the Kiko and the meat on the hoof of the Boer.

[@BoisDArcKikos]

We appreciate you watching and subscribing!! If you are going to raise commercial kids for meat I would have Kiko nannie’s and a boer buck. The red heads tend to bring more at the meat markets. Our Kikos have competed with the boers to get the #1 prices.

[@kaykennedy3690]

No we didn’t have to do anything extra. They had our farm tags on them that is all. Thanks for watching

[@tabiaandnick2408]

Thank you for your honesty. We are new to farming, do we need to register every goat before going to the meat market?

[@BoisDArcKikos]

Your welcome. Only thing you have to do before going to market is put a scrapie tag on them. Thanks for watching

[@inpersuit2248]

Moring all thank you for the informative video. I'm curious. What is the goat meat used for? Who are the main consumers?

[@BoisDArcKikos]

We get it grind up to a hamburger type and use it in lots of dishes. Foreigner’s eat it as their #1 meat

[@littlehouse6753]

great video thanks

[@BoisDArcKikos]

Thanks for watching

[@jimbuford4147]

Nice looking animals. For raising just meat goats for the market I don't mind an extra teat. I would think if not registered and sold that way you could realize more income than selling at a terminal market. Do you suppose the buying station you went to sell any of the females like that or if they have a feedlot for the better ones? Were they mostly Jan kids?

[@BoisDArcKikos]

Those were Jan/Feb kids. Yea the extra teat is ok as commercial but a fish teat we cull. Don’t want to pass that on. Thanks for watching

To get the tags does the usda or government come out and inspect your farm?

Than you for the videos but I do have a question I have a buckling with great color and he is 49 pounds at weaning weight but he has a Waddle under his chin and I wanted to keep him for breeding stock do you think this will decrease the value he is also 100% new zealand

Red heads seem to always do better at the sales. The dont care if they are registered or not at the sale barn. Special sales they care about the registration & pedigree.
