I found out today that I can indeed predict the future.
We had a farm visit earlier this spring from a family who was referred us from another family who had purchased animals from us. When we spoke on the phone before the visit, I basically told them that what I had for sale at the time were two yearlings that I would sell to them bred. One of the yearlings was from my best doe Zamia.
So, they came in the morning at milking and feeding time, asked a lot of questions and we had a good visit. So, she asked us if we knew this other breeder who I will call breeder X. We did in fact know this other breeder.
So, they told us that breeder X was moving into town and had to sell all of her animals and had two ADGA registered 5 year old does who were in milk (just kidded) for $175 each. Well, that's a good deal.
She told us that our animals were much nicer looking, but obviously with the other animals she would have milk immediately. We told her we absolutely understood and that this was a good price for registered animals in milk.
When she left, I bet my wife that she would contact us later about leasing a buck to breed those does.
Like I said, I can predict the future. Got the email today. And she was nice enough to tell us which buck she wanted to use, and when she wanted him.
