Typically you would research the ideal living environment of the goat as well as its typical diet. You would also want to learn how to care for the goat.

What do you do with goats in terms of selling?

Well, depending on what kind of selling you are talking about, (you selling your goat to another person for rehoming, selling goat babies, buying a goat, or selling your goat or your goat's materials for profit), there are many different answers. For rehoming, I would suggest asking around at a county fair, or talking to a local 4H group to see if anyone there is interested. This way, you will find an experienced owner. I do not suggest posting on Craigslist, because you do not know how experienced with goats the people that are buying are. For selling goat babies, the same thing goes. If you are looking into buying a goat, I suggest going on duhgoatman.tripod.com. They seem to have helpful listings by state of local goat farms. Once again, another good idea is checking with your local 4H group to see if anyone has any for sale. For profit selling, personally, I do not have the heart to go and sell my goat for meat. It is easy to get attached to them. But, if you wish to sell the things your goat provides, here are some ways. If you wish to sell fiber, I suggest making it into yarn first. If not that, you can check with a local store that sells yarn to see if might be interested. As far as milk goes, you can make that into anything you want (soap, cheese, etc.) and sell it, or you can sell it as just plain goat milk. But you NEED to pasturize it first. I do not have much experience with goat milk, but I suggest, for more advice, go to Fias Co Farms' website. There is much good advice there. For selling milk in your local area, you can ask a local convenient store that sells local, farm fresh products. Hope this helps!

Chevre is the French word for "goat".
