We are happy to take reservations and requests for certain breedings, as the breeder, we reserve the right to retain any kid born. Priority will be given to homes that participate in performance programs such as milk test, LA, show &/or youth currently participating 4-H or FFA.
We will contact those with reservations based on requests, you’ll have the opportunity to make selections at that time from available kids. If we don’t hear back after 24 hours, we will move to the next person on the list. Once a selection is made a deposit of $100 will reserve your kid of choice until time of pickup. The deposit is not refundable unless we can’t provide you with the kid you’ve reserved.
All of our goats are registered with ADGA, bucklings and doelings are eligible for registration, wethers and pet quality doelings are not. We reserve the right to adjust pricing on kids once they are born after we’ve had the opportunity to evaluate the kid’s conformation as well as the quality of the dam’s udder. The price could go up or down. If we determine it’s a pet quality kid, the price will be reduced. Pricing on kids reserved prior to kidding and confirmed with a paid deposit will remain unchanged.
We will not sell a goat to a home where it will be the only one, goats are herd animals and need the companionship of other goats. Preference is to kids going in pairs or more, having a familiar buddy makes moving less stressful.
Few bucklings are sold as potential herd sires, most will be available as pet wethers (castrated makes), $100-$200 for pet wethers. Wethers will be listed for sale when available and are first come first serve.
We use a pricing system to determine the price of kids based on accomplishments of dam & sire with a base price of $400. You will see abbreviations such as SG, CH, *B, *M, (see this ADGA Guide to Abbreviations & Symbols for help reading performance Pedigree info).
From $400 the price increases based on the following:
- Current Elite list (+$100)
- Production milk star (+$100)
- Superior Genetics (+$100)
- LA scores 88-89 (+$50) 90 or higher (+$100)
- Permanent Champion (+$400)
If you’re interested in bottle raising let us know. Some of our kids are bottle raised and are usually ready for pick up by 4 weeks. Dam raised kids are available at weaning age, 8-12 weeks.
We vaccinate our does 30 days before their due date, kids receive their first CD&T vaccine via the dam/colostrum. Kids are disbudded and tattooed. Kids will be on coccidiosis prevention. We do not give kids CD&T vaccinations unless requested for kids 6-8 weeks or older, any kid leaving early on the bottle, vaccines will be the responsibility of the owner.
