So, my wife and I have been talking about getting a few pet goats for a while now.
Today, while she was at work, I decided to go to a livestock auction and finally make it happen. I went there with the intention of buying one pregnant nanny goat so that my two young daughters can (in a few weeks) witness the miracle of birth.
Also, I'll tell you that I grew up with goats, but I have never bought one of my own before. While driving to the livestock auction, I called my dad to ask for advice on what kind of goat to buy and how much to pay.
When I got inside the auction house, they started running goats through, one at a time, and the auctioneer was taking a mile a minute. I bid on one young nanny goat, but stopped bidding at $150 and someone else won. A few minutes later, I bid on another young nanny goat, but again I stopped bidding at $150 and someone else won.
By this time, we were about half way through all of the goats. I started getting nervous that I was going to go home empty handed. I told myself, I'm gonna have to keep bidding and stop being a sissy.
Well, next up came a beautiful young boar goat buck. He was a good looking little feller, so I bid on him... The awesome thing was, I got him for $125 and WON. Then I thought, "well you can't have babies without a girl, so maybe I'll buy two goats; they'll have babies; I'll sell the babies; rinse and repeat".
So, a few minutes later, a good looking little female came into the ring and I started bidding. This one only went to $100 and I WON again!
With this, I jumped up and headed to the office to pay for my new pets, already thinking about all the money I was going to make on the thousands of babies they would produce. After paying, I had them loaded into the bed of my truck and I headed home.
I waited patiently until my wife came home from work and my kids got home from school. When they were all assembled, I took them into the backyard to show them our new pets.
Within 1 minute, my wife said, "I thought you said you got a boy and a girl. These both have balls. " I said, "No, the announcer clearly said that one was a female. That must be a milk sack, not a ball sack. " I confidently reached down to touch the milk sack and guess what!? I got a big hand full of baby goat balls...
So, here I am with two beautiful young billy goats and no does to breed them to.
Anybody live near Pittsboro and want to trade my spotted brown billy for one of your young females?
I feel like such a dumbass for buying two male goats...
