Since this is the time of year that many ethnic goups are looking to buy kids, we need some information. There are tapes out to measure the girth of a goat and calculate the approximate weight but these are for dairy goats. How can weight be determined with meat type goats without an expensive scale? We have both and need to know how much to charge per pound. Is there any given price-per-pound range or is it a "what the market will bear" thing? Don't want to gouge but don't want to underprice either. That wouldn't be good for any market.
Thanks.
