Both your sheep and goats are in excellent condition. They're robust, not limbing, swift moving. Congrats!

Thank you for bringing us along. Glad you got the price you got because raising goats is an art!

Love the video new to the action gam👍

Loving the videos. Thanks

I was at the sale and your kid goats brought the most. The uniformity and hard weight they carried brought the premium.

Hey Clint, would have liked to meet you.

Wow. This goat market just keeps going up. We are in South Dakota. We sold most of ours in November and should have held them. We have a few left we are selling on Monday. I read your book and really enjoyed it. There was a lot of good information in it.

Awesome!

I'm so confused can someone break that down how much profit he got from the sheep for me? Or explain how to break it down??

Nice pay day for you

Basically they are sold for like $2.00 - 3.50 a pound. So a goat sold for $2.00 a pound at 60 pounds is like $120.00.

They sold for $4.125 per pound times 59 =$243.375 each. These are record high prices for lambs and goats.

At what age do you typically replace your ewes? Ever get 10 years out of any?

As long as they got good teeth and good bag they can stay as long as they want. I haven't had sheep for 10 yrs. Yet.

having so much trouble finding out how much they actually paid for a 50 pound goat - sometimes it is per 100 weight and then it is per pound so I think that you got about $110.00 american for a 50 pound goat ?? curious -- I raise sheep.

Just curious how long you fed the lambs and kids post weaning and does it consistently pencil out?

They were started on feed about Nov 1 but didn't get going on the feeders well until Dec . 1 It definitely pays as the price is going up along with the wt. of the animal. Some I sold in Nov. only brought $2.40/lb and weighed about the same. A 50 lb. lamb in nov. would only get you about $125. The feed and other cost is about $15. Those lambs brought almost $250 in Jan. Use your own figures but I would believe you would find that it always pencils out unless you get the lambs too big. The ones I sold in Nov. would have weighed 90 plus lbs in Jan. and brought fewer dollars and ate the most feed of any of them. They will bring less dollars / hd when they get over the optimum wt. for your market area.

How much do you shrink from the on the farm weight? I do not have scales at home but weighed a load at the elevator and they shrank 8 1/2 percent. I brought them in evening and they sold following day.

@grandviewlivestock3936

A lot of things determine shrink. If you loaded them and hauled to elevator then let them set overnight before you then loaded again and took to the sale or even overnight at the salebarn, you would have a tremendous amount of shrink. We never weigh on sale day or even the day before as that would cause more shrink also. Did weigh the trailer once as we were on the way to the sale but wasn't very accurate as we weighed back and had different amount of fuel in pick up. I'd say it was about 3% shrink. Goats get stressed easily and that is the main cause of shrink.

What breed of goats ru running

Do you think the large lot size helped with prices?

@grandviewlivestock3936

3 жыл бұрын

It probably did some. Not sure how much as they would all be going to slaughter so intermingling with other kids in a feeding situation wouldn't be an issue. That being said, if fat kids are in short supply, a big bunch is coming through, I would bid up if I was a buyer and needed to fill an order, but they can only pay so much.

How much profit the (net) from 180 goats ?

@grandviewlivestock3936

Жыл бұрын

That depends. What I net has nothing to do with what you will net in your business. You must do the numbers and figure out your cost. I have some videos on here where I figured out our feed cost and cost of gain. Use them for reference. Put in your own numbers. The video you referred to is a couple years old. Look up current prices at where you might sell. I have other videos showing scenarios with different kidding rates and nanny costs to keep for a year, on a spreadsheet. What I netted on 180 goats really doesn't matter, what matters is what can you net on 180 goats. There are many videos on here to help you figure that. Let me know if you have other questions.

Would you mind posting the sale barns fees? Is it a fixed cost on a per head basis or % of sale price?

@grandviewlivestock3936

3 жыл бұрын

You should probably just call the sale where you plan to sell. St. Joseph seems to be cheaper than most. There are all sorts of small fees besides commission that are added on, insurance, lamb check off, etc so ask about those also. It will be different from sale barn to sale barn. Some charge flat fees and some commission.
