As the kids are born and I decide not to retain them, I will inform those with reservations and email pictures of the babies, at which time the buyer can send or Paypal a non-refundable deposit of $100 (for does and intact buck kids) to hold the kids until weaning time, or refuse the kid. The full pruchase price is due at pick up time around 8 weeks of age. Any unreserved kids will be offered for sale on our sale page and made available to the general public. For pet wethers, we normally accept a $50 deposit to hold him until weaning.

Pricing- Doe kids range in price from $350- $400 depending on their dam. Buck kids are available from our does with the best mammaries and milking ability only, they are generally $50 less than doe kids. Bucks are not available from first fresheners or does without excellent mammary systems- they will be sold as pet wethers for $100 each or $175/pair.

I wether (neuter) most of the buck kids born here, unless I am very confident in their conformation and their dam's mammary and/or they are reserved. I won't sell a buck that I wouldn't have kept myself for breeding. Prices are listed for buck kids out of does that I feel offer the best mammary potential, but those buck kids are subject to evaluation once they hit the ground. All other boys will be wethered and sold as pets, and after being nuetered they will not develop a bucky odor or bucky behavior. Wethers make excellent pets for these reasons coupled with their playful, friendly personalities. The price for wethers is $125 each, or $200 for 2. Purchasing two goats will be required if no other goats or similar animals will be housed with it. If bought along with a doe or buck as a companion, the price will be $100 for wethers.

Kids will be disbudded, given their first shot, wormed, hoof-trimmed, and healthy. They will all be dam-raised unless it is necessary to bottle feed them for some reason(see below). This is usually necessary with quads and quints. They will come with their AGS registration form ready to go. I will also include a feed sample to help switch them over to your feed gradually. I love the babies born here, and will only sell them to good homes, and only for breeding/show or pet purposes, not for meat!

Full payment is necessary before the kid leaves the farm- I will not accept a check at the time of pick up. Transportation, shipping, and requested health papers are the responsibility of the buyer, however I MAY be willing to drive a bit to meet for exchange. Email me for more information.

A word about our dam-raising philosophy: I feel that kids are meant by nature to nurse from their dams, and both mother and baby benefit from their relationship. I don’t think that friendlier kids is a sound enough reason to remove the baby from it's mother and bottle feed it. My young daughter and I spend lots of time with the babies from the time they are born, and they are very well socialized with people as well as our other animals. I find the majority of our kids are born friendly, and are very sweet, affectionate and outgoing. In terms of CAE/disease preventative measures involving bottle feeding pasteurized milk, I have no reason to believe our does have CAE (we have tested negative) and therefore no reason to implement these measures. I think Mother Nature knows best.
