Here's what's wrong with today's animals....nothing mentions size, conformation, the important things. Well, it's the market!!! I can feed pretty & ugly for same $. Agree if they are out there, pretty is nicer to look at but, it's also why quality suffers. Buyer beware. 
It's why I also adore colored up kids for resale
. This was from a Boer goat ad on CL...
Bucklings start at $200 and up. Doelings start at $250 and up. Price varies depending on color.

That tells you what they're breeding for right off the bat.

Basically it’s stupid people selling to other stupid people.

Well, I do get more $ for a colored up Boer goat but, I cull for quality. It's my goal to produce for the use. Good dairy or good meat. A good bodied & colored up buck is a money machine. I have a big, good producing buck that gives me mostly does. That's fantastic. I cross them for body + color with the other buck. Then you have "income" for breeders.
Dairy girls & half Boer give me kids to sell young, when buyers want BBQ type.
Tender, milk fed.
Work your market. I'm not doing this "forever".

Exactly 6 months later...
Almost a big as Mom, way more growth to come. He'll be a "color producing $$ manager"

Thank you. Plans are to enjoy his offspring. Size & color working there. And fullblood Boer registry. So far it's promising but we know how a youngster can change. His genetics are good, so hopeful.

Kidding began tonight!
Doe had separated into a barn late afternoon...seemed fine but noticed her under (that had stared filling) was way fuller. Had notice 4 days ago & figured mid Jan. Later as doing chores, saw a little discharge. Led her to other side of the big loaf barn, plenty hay and fresh bedding...fenced from herd group but just by fence & hay rack. That was 6:30. She was eating hay. Went out at 10 an she'd had twins. Dry, full tums and curled up in hay. Not positive sex yet. One brown, one white with brown head. Full boer.
Bright moon out there!! More tomorrow.
