​Sales policy
When you buy a goat from us we assume you have read & agree to everything stated on this page.
​
​

If you are interested in buying a kid from us you can get on our waiting list to be notified when kids are born or check the For Sale page often as kids that are available will be posted there. 

*WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO RETAIN ANY KID BORN ON OUR FARM*

Deposits:
We require a $100 deposit to hold any animal for 7 days. DEPOSITS can be made by Paypal (add 3% to cover fees), or Cash in Person. We do not accept checks. 

Deposits are NOT refundable.
​
ALL money paid is NON-REFUNDABLE unless something happens to your goat/puppy while they are in OUR care. Please make sure you are prepared to bring your goats home BEFORE you pay for them. Check with your family, landowner and homeowners associations before contacting us to buy a goat. 

Kids:
Only our VERY best bucklings are offered intact.  ​The rest will be wethered and sold as pets. (Any bucklings that have not sold by 8 weeks of age will be wethered as well.)  *We offer MANY wethers at the price of $125.  However, we rarely offer intact bucks. The few intact bucks we do offer will NOT be reduced to wether price even if you want them wethered.  We do NOT sell any of our goats for meat so please do not ask. 

ALL of our kids are handled from birth,  we attend all births and put a LOT of time into each of our kids so that our customers get happy, healthy, well adjusted goats.  ALL kids are either DISBUDDED or POLLED. We do not sell horned kids.

If you purchase a BOTTLE BABY you will be responsible for providing any care it needs, including vaccines & worming, at the appropriate times.  Kids can leave at 7 days of age after they have been disbudded and are doing well on a bottle unless prior arrangements have been made for the kid to stay longer.  All kids will come with a bottle and nipple that they are used to and a small amount of goat's milk for you to transition them to whole cow's milk as well as a registration application to your chosen registry. (Nigerians can be registered with the ADGA, AGS or NDGA, Mini Lamanchas with the TMGR or the MDGA, If you want to register your kid with more than one registry let us know before you pick them up and additional applications can be provided).  


Testing:
Our entire herd is tested for CAE yearly and we have never had a case of CL on our property.  Texas is a TB and Brucellosis free state and since we do not sell our milk for human consumption we do not feel the need to test for these.

All new animals to our herd come from tested herds and often have been tested prior to purchase. We also quarantine all new animals for at least 7 days for testing, worming and observation before introducing them to our existing herd. 

However, we can not guarantee the continued health of any goat once they leave our herd.  Even though you are buying a kid from a tested herd we highly recommend you continue to test yearly!  If you are purchasing a goat from us over 6 months of age from us we will happily run a new CAE test on them at our expense IF they have not been tested within the last 12 months.  If you want any specific tests such as CAE, CL, Jones, TB or Brucellosis run on any goat in our herd that you are purchasing we will happily have them done at your expense. 


Health Guarantee: 
All goats that leave our farm appear outwardly healthy and do not show any signs of illness at the time of leaving. They do not have diarrhea and have been kept on a deworming schedule with the rest of the herd. Once a goat leaves our farm, the new owner is responsible for their health. Stress from being moved (and weaned) can often bring on numerous health issues quickly, shipping fever is common in goats. Should your goat become ill, please consider contacting a veterinarian immediately.

If the buyer requires a health certificate from a licensed veterinarian, it will be at the buyers expense. All kids traveling across state lines are required to have a health certificate. If you need or want a health certificate please let me know at least 1 week before your kid is scheduled to leave.

We guarantee our goats are negative for CAE and CL for seven (7) days after they leave our farm. After seven days we can not be responsible for these diseases. They can easily be picked up in their new environment or even brought home on your clothes from other farms.


We reserve the right to refuse any sale. 

We want our goats to live out a happy life in caring homes and when you purchase a goat from us you are always welcome to contact us with questions and concerns at any time throughout the life of your goat. 

Pick Up:
All animals must be picked up by 7 days of the date we received the deposit. 

​A boarding fee of $3 per day applies to any animal that stays longer than 7 days from that date. This will be applied to the remaining balance of the goat to be paid at pick up. 

No animal will leave the property unless they have been paid in full.

Shipping:
We will happily ship any goats within the USA at the buyers expense. There will be a extra $50 fee for any animal that is being shipped or transported to cover our time/gas going to and from the vet and airport. 

There are two ways to ship a goat, via ground transport or shipping by air. When a goat leaves here with a ground shipper I can NOT be responsible for the goat any longer.  No health guarantee will be offered on goats that are sent on ground transport.  This is because I can't control how the ground shipper will care for the goat during transport.  I cannot guarantee what the goat will be exposed to while with the ground shipper.  It is the buyer's responsibility to be comfortable and trusting of the ground shipper they choose.  I require all goats who leave here with a ground shipper to have a basic health certificate from my local livestock vet. It is the buyer's responsibility for the health certificate, crate, and all shipping costs. Once again the goat MUST be paid in full (including any costs for health certificates and my time/gas) BEFORE they will be released to a ground transporter or the airport officials.
