TWO all white Saanen goats for sake price negotiable to right home
brother and sister
born: April 12, 2007
Breeders were: Nicksons from Saranac (I have all the "official" paperwork on sire and dam and birth records)
Male has been disbudded and neutered.
Female perfect breeding age.
We purchased these goats (for my then 10 year old son) when they were about 5 months old and had planned to show them at fair. We had a harder time finding a club and information on how to train them than we expected and before we knew it the winter had passed and they were over a year old without any training. They just became backyard pets... mostly living in an enclosure we built for them. My son is now 13 and finding his other interests are keeping him too busy to spend quality time with them.
We will only sell them together. They are very fun... price is very negotiable to the right home.
We live near Lowell, Michigan ... this is about 20 minutes from Grand Rapids and about 45 from Lansing.
