$3/lb on the hoof for baby goats. I've seen it close to $4/lb. It will probably go higher closer to Easter when Hispanics want their cabrito for Easter Sunday dinner.
Some people prefer them to not be intact.

Lagos (AFP) – The holy fasting month of Ramadan begins early next week in Nigeria, with the worst economic crisis in a generation leaving many in Africa's most populous Muslim country struggling to buy food.
With food inflation at around 35 percent, worshippers taking part in Friday prayers at the central mosque in Lagos told AFP they were barely able to provide for their families.
"Some people already started fasting because they can't afford to eat," said Owoyemi Sherifent Mojisola, 54, in the mosque in Nigeria's economic capital.
"Everything is expensive at the moment."
Many poor Nigerians have had to skip meals and give up products such as meat, eggs and milk.
"It's really hard," said Idihabom Nafisah Oyebanji, a 42-year-old mother at the central mosque, who said she was unable to afford her favourite Ramadan foods, including milk and melon.

Welcome to Wal-Mart, Publix, Winn-Dixie, etc.
Some of us are not overly concerned with “Ramadan spirits in Nigeria.”
The next wave of humanitarian refugees to come to America.

Ramadan is the oddest fasting period in the world when you worry about food prices.
Well I guess they can take solace in massacring some more Christians.

Where’s the UN WFP when you need it?

Might not be so bad if they stop slaughtering Christian farmers.
Good little side gig. 30 goats x 50lbs x $4/lb = $6000. This is in very rural MO.
Some goat farms down in TX deal in hundreds of head. If MO cattlemen were smart, they'd run goats with their cattle.
If soaring food prices dampen your spirits during a fasting month, you must be a mohammedan.
They’re complaining about the cost of food when they are in for a month of fasting.
OK..........
We should have never stepped foot on that continent.
No industry, no medicine.
Food’s so expensive people can’t afford fasting.
It’s hard to get into the Ramadan spirit these days, with everything being so commercialized.
