In Winter of 2023/24, we conducted a financial analysis of what it costs us to keep a goat in our herd.
Taking into consideration grain, hay, water, staff wages, vet care, hoof trimming, minerals, parasite management, pen/pasture management, etc., we found the cost of boarding one goat is $2.50/day or $75 per month. Four goats costs $300 per month. With our barter agreement, you only have to pay for two goats, totalling $150 per month.
We have set up payment plan to keep finances easily in order. This will automatically charge your card each month. This new system goes into effect April 1st, 2024.
