It is better to diversify the products based on market demand.
If you limit yourself to only selling slaughter animals, you can run into problems with accidentally inflating your expected profit. Here are few questions you need to answer:
- Are you basing the average price received for your large potential kid crop on what you’ve made selling two or three kids yearly to a specialty customer?
- What does your financial plan look like if you use prices from local auctions as your market price received?
Answering these questions helps emphasize the importance of putting energy into marketing your goats if you hope to make your expectations a reality.
