Waiting list info

      1. We no longer are keeping waiting lists - except for people with show/DHIA performance herds. 

          2. Being a performance herd is very important to us and we would love the honor to have our kids placed in other performance herds to know how our pairings are meeting their potential. Therefore - let us know if you're a performance herd (ie actively participating in DHIA milk testing programs, MDGA V-Shows, and/or live shows) as that will make you eligible for being notified of available kids before they are offered publicly.

       3. If you qualify for the wait list-  Doeling & Buckling lists will be sent in order someone was placed on the lists.- You have 12 hours to pick & send deposit (if deposit was not already received) or pass on currently available babies. Once you pick or pass (or 12 hours passes) I move on to the next person for the current list until I reach the end of the list. Please review the goats in pairings posted before kidding is to occur- I purposely put a lot of info on each goats personal page for people to make decisions off of. Ask questions if the info you need is not there. Make a top 5 pairing list for ones you want the most and a “black list” of pairing you do NOT want a baby from. That will help reduce feeling overwhelmed when it is time to pick!!

Deposits/payments:

  4. You must be 18 years or older to send deposit. If someone under 18 wants an animal from us- their parent or legal guardian will have to send payment and be included on the sale contract.

f       5. Deposits are $100 and NONREFUNDABLE once a kid is picked (Electronic payments are via Venmo or Paypal's friends & family option ONLY) remainder is due by or at pick up. I accept cash & electronic payments listed above only- NO CHECKS or MONEY ORDERS.   

   I have the right to terminate a sale for any reason. 

  If I terminate the sale- deposit (or full price of animal if paid in full) is returned.

Kid heath & pick up/ transport Info:

 r     All of our adult goats are tested for CAE, CL, and Johnes yearly. Anyone too young to test yet has come from farm that tests if they weren't born here. All goats in our breeding program are G6S negative via testing or parentage traced to a test done via MDGA records by breeder they were bought from.

 A. Non-polled goats will come dehorned- note- scurs can happen. I dehorn bucks by 1 week old to try to avoid this.

b)        B. Goats will come with age-appropriate CDT vaccines depending on when they leave- they may need one or both still if they are young when they leave the farm. We also treat for coccidia as a precaution for their best health. 

They are treated every 3 weeks as a precaution as well as getting medicated feed.

c)        C. We dam raise kids here, but do expose them to the bottle for ease of feeding on milk testing days. All kids must be paid in full and picked up by 8 weeks of age for bucks & 10 weeks of age for does. If you prefer your goats on the bottle please plan to pick them up by 3 weeks of age as I will not raise them on the bottle for you. Any kids with deposits placed that are not picked up by ages previously listed will have boarding fees of $2 a day added for continued care until pick up.

d)       D. If we have an unplanned bottle baby (or need to make a kid a bottle baby for air travel which needs to be discussed at time of reservations being made); they may leave as early as 2 weeks old and only to someone with successful prior bottle baby experience.

e)      E. Buyer is responsible for setting up & paying for transportation. I prefer farm pick up transportations verses having to meet people more than an hour away as it is easier with my work schedule. If airline shipping is needed, I can help with setting that up (and may have crates available due to my own shipping in of goats); I will not fly goats over 9 weeks old due to kennel requirements. There will be additional fees for gas and time added depending on where I have to meet transport/ distance of airport needed. 

     F.   Bucklings that I like and would consider bringing back as a stud later are are offered as intact males only. I do not wether unless I feel it should be a wether due to dam's attachments, conformational dislike on my part, or another reason. If you are looking for a wether for a pet- please let me know as we have boys every year that do not meet requirements to keep the family jewels. Note I do not register wethers normally- if you need them registered for your fair please let me know as I do make exceptions for that.   

f)        All kids are healthy to our knowledge when they leave here, if something pops up here you will be notified beforehand as the kid needs to stay until it is ok. Please check over kids before you leave with them. If they are going on transport they will have a health certificate done prior at BUYERS expense and a video of them before leaving will be taken as well and sent to you. (never had an issue after sale- but you never know). If they arrive with any health issues please contact me ASAP.  

I reserve the right to add to this list as necessary with no notice as the need arises. 

(ie- if a snafu pops up I need a game plan statement for).
