Montana Goat Producers Cash In on Booming Market

Author: The Daily News Now! April 23, 2026 Duration: 1:18

Montana goat producers are experiencing a lucrative period, with prices soaring to four dollars a pound due to a robust spring kidding season and mild winter. Demand is surging, particularly for holiday celebrations like Ramadan and Easter. Shylea Wingard, a successful goat producer in Ennis, is reaping the benefits of this market turnaround. Experts at Montana State Universitys wool lab confirm the trend, noting increased calls from goat and sheep farmers. While there are concerns about potential hay shortages in dry summers, the current boom presents an opportunity for more producers to enter the goat market and meet the growing demand.
