I should have been placing bets! I have been telling SBC for months that this buck would be the high seller.
I was guessing he'd be around $10,000.

OMF has beautiful animals. I loved their herd before they became the new craze since nationals. ;)
They have done a great job and I'm happy for them!

No way I'd pay that for a goat though. They are still livestock.
Livestock will be dead stock at one point or another, and I would be the one to have a goat stuck by lightning :rolleyes:

Hope he does his new owners proud.

How did the Majenli La Mancha do ?

She went for $2900 to someone in NY. She was beautiful and I'm gonna keep track of her to maybe buy kids from in the future.

I had the opportunity to attend the sale for the first time, and will post full results later.

Majenli is just down the road from us so we get to see their goats often. They have a lot of goats! A week or two ago they were offering a few doelings on FB... they may have something available.

That is cool!

I own a buck out of a spotlight sale doe (Tempo Kim). He is also a half sibling to Cleopatra (Jewel's dam). :)

I don't need or have the money for a Lamancha right now. Sometime, sometime...

I could never justify paying that much for a goat!

I am having a hard time justify getting goats from Lookout Point Ranch.... 800-1000 per head. (not on top of shipping).:th
That is if we can even ever have goats in Alaska. :somad (I'll start another thread about this!

You might have to put up two fences and have any goats tested but you'll be fine. I really think that this is a lot of hysteria and over-hyped. I read the proposal and no where does it say that no one can own sheep or goats. And if you don't live near Dall Sheep habitat the permit will be issued online with no stipulations.

Personally, I think it's silly to spend so much on a goat(one only about 30 pounds, no less), but whatever. It's a free country, and if you have that much extra money to spend on something you really want, go for it.
In a sense, it's relative too-my family thinks I'm crazy if I spend anymore than $200 for a goat or a dog. That's only a start if I want good stock!
