Kids will recive their CD & T shots before leaving the farm. The vaccination helps prevent overeating disease and tetnus infection. Moving to a new home is stressful and I want their immune system to be as strong as possible.
All kids are started on alfalfa hay, weed browse, grain in the form of Purina Goat Chow, a probiotic feed supplement called
fastrack, and goat minerals. This will ready them to eat well and be healthy in their new homes with as little stress as possible.
Fainting goat kids will either be registered or registerable with the IFGA. They will be sent with all pertinent paperwork.
All bucks not considered herd sire quality will be wethered between 6-8 weeks of age. I am really picky and constantly monitor the boys for those I think will make good herdsires. They will be wethered even later if a buck isn't growing out to expectation.
Kids will be sent to their new homes with kid care packets. This will include information about the breed, information about the IFGA, and care for your goats. A sample of their grain and fastrack will be sent with them. The feed will help them adjust to a new home with different feed. If you currently own fainters or other goats you may not want all the information, but feed samples will be sent with the kid.
The breeding herd has been tested for CAE, CL, and Johnes. If you would like your kid tested before it leaves the farm this can be done at the buyers expense.
All kids will be disbudded unless requested by buyer to be left with horns. After much research and weighing pros and cons I have decided while I like the look of horns very much, it is much safer for goats living in close proximity to people, especially small children, to have their horn growth stopped.
There is a non-refundable $50 deposit on kids, deposit is not accepted until kids are born. Only in the event that something should happen to a reserved kid, for example death due to an unforseen weakness at birth, will the deposit be returned or transferred to another kid. Kids are not released from the farm until until final payment and the seller is present. I will only take checks before final pickup, if a balance is left on the kid at final pickup this must be paid with cash.
I retain the right to first choice of kids to be retained for the herd.
Does are $300
Bucks are $200-250
Wethers are $75-100
Multiple purchase and herd starter discounts are available.
I am also willing to trade. I am alway looking for more does. I am also looking for a blue eyed buck of nice conformation not realated to my herd.
