Thinking About a Starter Herd?
Goats are herd animals — they're miserable as an "only child," and a lone goat is a loud, fence-testing, escape-artist goat. So we don't just sell you one and wish you luck. We sometimes put together starter herds: a small, ready-made group chosen to actually work together from day one.
The magic is in the mix. A good starter herd might pair a doe in milk right now with a gentle learn-to-milk doe, plus one or two bred does due to kid down the road — so you've got milk in the bucket today, a low-stakes goat to practice on, and a staggered kid crop coming. Real production, real practice, real future. Not four random goats in a trailer.
The perks of buying a herd:
-
🐐 Animals that already know and like each other — far less stress settling in
-
💵 A discount off individual pricing (our does run $400–$600, usually $500; herd buyers save)
-
📋 ADGA registration on every doe, plus your complimentary 2026 bio-screen
-
🤝 A breeding perk — access to one of our bucks with a clean yearly bio-screen
Tell us your goals — fresh milk for the family, soap-making, a future breeding program — and we'll help you build the right group. The best goat purchase isn't the fastest one; it's the one that fits.

Bringing them Home
Welcome to the Herd 🐐
Congratulations on your new goats — we hope you love them as much as we do! Each doe goes home with a starter pack of hay, feed, and minerals to ease her transition to your routine.
The basics:
-
Provide high-quality hay and fresh water at all times (add a couple tablespoons of apple cider vinegar to the water).
-
Offer free-choice minerals so they reach full health potential.
-
Goats love to forage and browse — they'll happily help you clear brush.
-
These does are trained to electric fencing. Keep a voltage tester on hand and confirm the fence is hitting at least 3,000v.
Settling in: It's normal for your goats to be nervous for the first week or two. Their whole world just changed — give them time to trust you and learn your routine.
Our grain philosophy: Our goats get minimal to no grain while dry or pregnant — grain only during milking, to hold condition through a calorically demanding time. After about 4 weeks of settling in, you can experiment with reducing or eliminating grain if you have exceptional hay high in late-cutting legumes like alfalfa or clover.
Registration: All of our goats are fully registered with the ADGA. We highly recommend creating an account and transferring them into your name — registered kids sell for considerably more than unregistered ones.
A breeding perk: Because these does come from The Chatty Goat, you're welcome to breed to one of our bucks with proof of a clean yearly bio-screen (negative for CAE, CL, and Johne's).
Your 2026 bio-screen is complimentary — results emailed to you.
