RE: Livestock: To register, or not to register? That is the question....

Yes for smaller breed goats especially used for milking registering helps get a higher price of babies. We sell larger breed goats for meat breeds and I have not found anyone that wanted the extra price of registered. Every once in awhile you might have a potential farmer that wants a registered sire for his herd but that has been rare and mainly I have people that want to buy the cheaper unregistered goat since it will be butchered for meat and probably never even bred. Nice looking little goats. These are the larger breeds we do.

That makes total sense. Who needs to register an animal destined for the freezer?
Handsome buck! He looks fantastic!
