Where to Buy Goat Supplies

Back when I got my first two goats there was no goat supplies carried in local farm stores. No goat mineral, feed or medical supplies could be found at all and even the selection of cattle and sheep products locally was often sparse. Some of these alternate products I can use for my goats and some, such as sheep mineral which is too low in copper for goats, can't be used. I quickly learned that many of the things I needed to care for my goats would have to be ordered online or through livestock catalogs.

Luckily with the rising popularity of goats this has changed some. I can now buy goat feed, mineral and quite a few of the things our goats need locally these days. I try to support local businesses when I can but I still order many of the goat supplies we need online. These are the livestock supply companies I have ordered from most often. Please note, these are my own personal opinions and experiences with these companies, it is no guarantee yours will be the same with them.

Jeffers Livestock - I have ordered things a few times through Jeffers. They almost always have the best prices. They have a really fantastic selection, it is rare I can't find what I need there and they also carry pet products. Though they did over charge my credit card the last time I ordered.

Livestock Concepts, Inc. - I have ordered from livestock concepts quite a few times in the past, and they have been great. My favorite thing about livestock concepts is the way they ship their vaccines. When I have ordered vaccines from them they have always arrived cold, even in the summertime, thanks to the fact they were carefully packed with Styrofoam inserts for insulation and plenty of ice-packs.

Valley Vet Supply - I have ordered from Valley Vet a few times and have always been happy with their service. When I had to call with a question about shipping, the person I spoke too was very nice and pleasant. They will sometimes still have certain products when other suppliers are out.

Here are some more goat supply links, I have not ordered from these places enough to share my experience with them, but they are definitely worth checking out.
