The Minnesota Boer Goat Association has a unique opportunity for its members. The MNBGA has committed to awarding a breeding doe under the MNBGA Breeding Doe Program, which is a promotional program established to aid a youth in getting a start in raising their own meat goat herd. Therefore, we must procure a breeding doe and would like to source this animal from one of its MNBGA members.

Each member may put 2 does forward for consideration at what they deem a fair price. The MNBGA has a budget of up to $1,500. However, the selector will purchase what he deems the best value breeding doe for the MNBGA Breeding Doe Program based on the goals of the program against the breeding does offered. The selector’s choice is final.
