North Arkansas Meat Goat Association

Selling Goats and Sheep


Most slaughter goats and sheep from this area are sold at livestock auctions and are shipped out of the area for slaughter. Both goats and sheep are sold at these sales because buyers prefer to have both available. Goats and sheep can be easily handled and hauled together. 

Lists of livestock auctions that have special goat and sheep sales in Arkansas and Missouri are published at http://www.critterridge.net/sellingmeatgoats.html, along with sale dates and contact information. 

The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) publishes livestock market reports for seven goat/sheep sales in Missouri, but none in Arkansas. Links to these reports can also be found at http://www.critterridge.net/sellingmeatgoats.html.

The North Arkansas Meat Goat Association has been doing research to develope better markets for both slaughter meat goats and meat goat breeding stock in this area. A very important part of this research involes getting data on how many slaughter goats are available for sale in this area and what times of the year they are available. We would like to set up a buying station where producers can bring thier goats and sell directly to a buyer at a predetermined price, but the details for such a program have not been completely worked out yet. If you are interested in participating in such a program at a future date please fill out our marketing survey.
