Should I start with fullblood or percentage stock?
If you have never owned or cared for goats of any breed, it would be better to start with percentage stock. Due to the high cost of fullblood stock, the learning curve would be less painful with percentage stock should things not go well for you. Boer goats are very similar to dairy or other breeds so any experience in these will have you prepared for fullbloods. Although good quality percentage does out of fullblood bucks can be sold as registered breeding animals, percentage buck kids are commercial goats. Fullbloods are mainly breeding animals so you need to have a breeding goat marketing plan.
