Pygmy Goats!


We have 5 pygmy goats up for sale!

We would ask that two of them stay together seeing as they have been together for the last 4 years! One is a whether and the other a female! Please contact me for specific info on these two! ( Only serious inquires please)

The other three are mother with two daughters! Daughters were born around memorial day! Very cute one is brown and the other white! Mom is brown and white! Would prefer to see these girls go to a home together if possible! we are asking $100 each so $300 for all 3 of them! Want to see them go to a good home! They all have their horns but are very friendly! No ones ever been butted by them! The mama is a little on the big side for a pygmy! Please contact me if interested! Again Only serious inquires please! We are setting the price firm right now for these three! we are interested in trading for other livestock or something else if we feel its right for us so don’t be shy to make offers for trades but the price is firm for now! thanks for your interest and I can send pics to those who are interested!

Goats! Goats! GOATS! We’ve got goats! Five goats! But! We! Will! Only! Sell! Them! In! Sets! Sets of goats! They’re brown! And white! They’re brown and white! They’re goats! They’re giant pygmy goats!

Based on this, I’d be worried the goats might be a little excitable. Maybe whoever takes the goats can offer the sellers an alternative form of punctuation.

*Full disclosure: I added in three exclamation marks to the original post; the others were all there to begin with. I’m sure they just forgot them in their goat-induced frenzy.

    Maybe they’re excited because they’ve figured out what they want and what they need, and got some books too.

    A wether goat is a goat that has been castrated. I’m assuming that’s what the person meant. Very, very emphatically.

      It’s where the word bellwether comes from.

      A wether used to lead a flock often wears a bell. Since the bellwether leads the flock, the word has also come to mean “a leading indicator or predictor.”

        That’s assuming we have ever heard of the term “bellwether”.

    Is it just me, or is Sparky just a touch too excited about livestock?

      Too excited? TOO EXCITED?! How can you be TOO EXCITED about GOATS?! Clearly you are just not excited enough. Goats, ghostcat, gooooaaaats! How are you not peeing your pants with excitement?! I know I am!

    That’s a lot of exclamation marks! But it could be worse! They could be yelling in CAPS! And they have limited themselves to one exclamation mark at a time! So really, I think Sparky is showing remarkable restraint under the circumstances! Because, come on you guys, it’s goats!

    Make offers! But the price is firm!
    Well, maybe not super firm! Just like the pygmy goat is not actually small!

    At least Sparky! is keeping the goats secret until serious inquires! are made. No one wants goats! that have had their photos up all over the interwebs!

      Oh my gosh, this is so true! I almost bought a goat once but then I found her myspace page and she had posted all these embarrassing photos of herself so I was just like forget it. I just can’t have that. One day I may run for office and I can’t have people digging up these photos of my goat dancing naked on a table with a lampshade on her head.

        Totally. One photo goes out on twitter and suddenly your goat is rendered unsellable on craigslist, and you’re making apologies to the public. All you can hope is that your cow stands by you through all the trouble.
