What in the world IS this!???!!!

Well, what do you think it is? Tell me you've never had a goat that you got tired of eventually!  Wouldn't you love to be able to swap it for someone else's goat?

The best part is all you have to pay for is shipping!

LOL! 

Please make sure you wrap your books & goat separately. It says very clearly in the PBS book conditions, under no circumstances are books to have chew marks. (It really does!) You could lose your credit. Goats, depending on how long the trip, can get very bored & start chewing on the books if you accidentally wrap the two together.

Well, you know that's really only a problem if your goat finds the book boring...

One book & goat-swapping tip that newbies often get confused about: Saran wrap the book NOT the goat! Trust me on this.

OH... NOW YOU TELL ME !!!!!!!!!

....... well, I'm sure there will be a postal worker somewhere about Oklahoma who gets a little irate about the saran wrapped goat !!!!   ROFL.....

Don't worry, the goat will eat the Saran Wrap long before it ever gets to you...so it will be calmed and not so irritated. Hmmmmmm...in fact, that darn goat might be the reason behind some of our so-called "lost" books!

Thank God they started this site!  I had the hardest time trying to find a Used Goat Store in my town!

I don't know if you can see my siggy line, but I STILL have free goats to offer with an order off my goat-shelf! None are water damaged, but they are a little ruff around the edges.

You guys better stop kidding around. No really - the goats have to be adults to meet posting standards.

Would someone please tell me how to attach a mailing label to the goat?  I tried stapling it but the goat objected.  The goat eats anything that I tape or tie on.  Is ok to write the address on the goat with a permanent marker?  How about if I shave a small patch of hair and then write it in that space?  The hair will grow back eventually to cover the address. 

I really appreciate your help as I have several goats that I need to put in the mail tomorrow.

I find that putting your mailing labels on the horns works best... anywhere else they can chew it off, but they can't get to their own horns. Unless you are shipping multiple goats together to save on shipping costs, then they can chew each other's horns...

I find that tatooing the address right on the goat's butt works the best for send goats via the USPS

I'd like  to get a goat for only a few weeks. (Just enough to  clean up the  back yard) Can I be guaranteed that someone will order it from me when I'm finished with it? I don't want a  long term goat committment.

That depends, really.  Will you be getting a heavily wish listed goat?  Otherwise, it could be sitting on your shelf for quite a while.  Or on your kitchen table.  Or your bed.

If you get desperate, perhaps you could offer it as a freebie with another order?

"perhaps you could offer it as a freebie with another order?"

Doesn't it cause problems in the package when you mail two goats together? I would think there would be too much fighting or other activity going on, depending on whether you are mailing 2 males or 1 male & 1 female. That could be a potential for package damage.

Good point, Sherry!

So I guess the questions have to be asked...what is the rule on pregnant goats? Do they cost 2 credits?

If you ordered a 2-for-1 but it arrived as a 3-for-1, do you mark that RWP?  Because now you have two goats, plus a little unpostable on the way to feed and shelter until it grows up a bit.  Perhaps there should be an RC for that, just in case...
