SALES POLICY

 

If you are interested in purchasing one of our goats, please use the form on our kidding schedule page to be added to the wait list or to make reservations. Reservations require a $100 deposit, we do not charge for waitlist. However, understand that reservations are filled first. When the kid of your choice is born and available, we will contact you within three days. If you accept the kid we require half of the cost of the kid due within 24 hours. We accept cash, Paypal and Venmo. Once the deposit is received we can schedule a pickup date. If the deposit is not received we will move on to the next person on our list. If you do not accept the kid, we do not refund the initial deposit. However, the deposit can be transferred to another kid born this year or a subsequent year. Deposit will only be returned if we cannot fill your reservation due to our retaining of the kid, death, illness, injury or death prior to possession being exchanged.

​

PRICING

Kids from first fresheners generally start at $500. Kids from dams with additional freshenings will vary based on our assessment of potential. Kids born from AI will generally cost significantly more due to the additional cost of breeding, and most AI breedings are from bucks that are accomplished in varying ways. We try to be fair in our pricing, but there are many factors that go into that decision. Those factors include but are not limited to; confirmation, pedigree, milk production, show quality, linear appraisal scores, progeny accomplishments and potential. Both the doe and buck are evaluated with these factors and that will determine the price of the kid. This is an assessment of potential and we do not guarantee that any kid will live up to that potential. Breedings that you will see for a lower price, do not necessarily have less potential, however, the breeding may not have the data and/or factors that we utilize to access value.  

​

POSSESSION

Buyer agrees to take possession of purchased animal on scheduled pickup date. If the animal is not picked up within 48 hours of a scheduled pickup date, buyer shall pay a $10/day boarding fee until pickup. If animal is not picked up within 30 days from scheduled pickup the deposit, rights to the animal and any paid monies shall be forfeited to the seller. We will work with transporters and will ship via Delta Cargo at buyer's expense, plus an additional $100 for our travel and preparation for transport if utilizing air transport. All animals must be paid in full before leaving our property, and any CVI required for travel is at buyer's expense. CVI cost charged by our vet is $95 total regardless of how many animals are on the CVI.

​

We hybrid raise, so kids can leave on a bottle once established, preferably 3-6 weeks after birth. Kids can also stay with dam until week 8 for bucklings, week 12 for doelings. We encourage you to continue to bottle feed until at least 16 weeks old via bottle for optimum kid health and growth. If you purchase multiple kids we will work with you regarding an appropriate pick up date.
