Terms of Sale
Reserving Kids from our Kidding Schedule
We require a $100 non refundable deposit on all kids reserved before birth. Since all kids are bottle raised, babies reserved prior to birth need to be shipped by 4 weeks of age to help reduce our work load.
Purchasing Kids
When purchasing kids, please remember that leaving home is a stressful event for the baby. Babies handle stress by getting diarrhea and sniffles, sometimes coughs. Their little systems need therapeutic support to get through this time period. Most of our kids, because they are so humanized, handle the moves with no problems whatsoever, but occasionally one will get sick. We ask that you keep support products on hand to handle the problems your baby may face. On our end, we do everything possible to ensure kids will take their move easily. All kids are given an antibiotic the day they ship out. We give each one a vitamin B12 injection as an immune system boost. They are freshly wormed, so they don't have that problem to deal with. And each is given a dose of mylanta, to keep rumin acids even, and a dose of probios so all tummy bugs are happy. We are here to help, and welcome your calls, if you need us! Our babies are important to us!
Purchasing Animals from our Sales Page
Should you wish to purchase an animal listed on our sales page we require half the purchase price as a non refundable deposit unless other arrangements are agreed upon by us. This will hold the animal of your choice til you make transport arrangements within 30 days of purchase, unless otherwise agreed upon. Should we have to hold an animal for more than 30 days, full payment is expected. We will also charge a $2.50 per day boarding charge if pick-up is not made when previously arranged. Bred does left with us for extended periods of time and give birth here...we retain the right to keep the kids as payment for caring for said doe and delivering and subsequently caring for kids. Breeder retains the right to issue doe only service memos on any or all bred does sold, at our discretion. We ONLY allow exceptional bucks from exceptional dams to proudly carry our herd name. Thanks for your understanding in this matter. Should the need arise to cancel the sale on our part, we will give proper notice before doing so. You will of course get a full refund of your monies in a case such as that, or we can transfer your deposit to another animal of your choosing. Payment must be made in full before an animal leaves our farm. It is of utmost importance to us to have animals ready to go when THEY are ready. Therefore, they will only leave when we believe they're ready to do so. We are not difficult to work with, if you tell us what you have in mind from the get-go we can usually work something out. We've just been left holding animals for months with purchasers backing out. We find that a little disconcerting. So, if you're interested in an animal and have a financial plan in mind...let us know. We'll see what we can do!
Transporting Animals
When considering to purchase an animal from us, please consider how you will get it home. Transporting the animal is up to you. We would be happy to help make arrangements, but ultimately it's up to you how it should be done. We are happy to meet part way---within a reasonable driving distance for gas and meals money. If you need to fly one, you are responsible for paying for the pet carrier, and health certificates. You are also responsible for the air fare. We would be happy to check which local airlines will transport animals, and are happy to help with making arrangements. We will do our best to accomodate the arrangements, but we would appreciate a choice as to what day and time is good for us to take the animal to the airport.
Testing and Herd Health
Concerned about CAE, etc...? Please, see our About CAE page. Please check with your state as to required health tests if any are needed. We would be happy to have the tests run, however, you would be required to pay for them in advance. We can give you an estimate of cost, should you need it. All animals MUST have health certificates. Health certificates are $25.00 each, at buyers expense. It's good, cheap insurance for you, the buyer, knowing your animal is healthy when it leaves our farm. Once the animal leaves it is up to you the buyer to ensure it is properly cared for in transit. We will not be held responsible for animals who become injured or ill during shipping. Unfortunately accidents happen. Our animals are healthy, happy and loved, we want to ensure they stay that way in their new homes!
Guarantees
We guarantee our animals to be fertile. Should one prove to have a genetic problem, we will replace it with a veterinarians letter stating the problem. Animals that are exchanged are done so at the purchasers expense. We require the original registration papers returned in an animal exchange. We guarantee our animals to be healthy the day they leave our farm. Any further guarantees are neither expressed nor implied. We have no idea what sort of care or treatment our goats receive once they leave our possession, (though we hope all of you will give them wonderful homes) therefore you are responsible for their health and well being. We love our goats and hope you will too!
Thank you so much for considering animals from our herd!
