WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO RETAIN ANY OF OUR ANIMALS FOR OUR BREEDING/ MILKING PROGRAM.

-GOAT AND SHEEP DEPOSITS:

WE will not take a deposit or sell a singular kid/ lamb to a buyer that has no other goats or sheep. They are flock and herd animals and leaving the flock is stressful enough.

-A purchaser can place a deposit to hold any wether(castrated buckling) until weaned or picked up.

UNDERSTAND BEFORE YOU BUY GOATS OR SHEEP

Please make sure your property, food and supplies are prepared to bring your goats/ sheep home.

Before purchasing confirm all permissions with your family, your land owner, your home owners associations and City Ordinances for livestock raising at the proposed property. 

If there becomes an issue, we will, at our discretion, keep(prior to pick up) and potentially accept the animal back if problems arise but no refunds will be made. IF we can accept a returned animal, understand it must go through testing and quarantine prior to being integrated in the herd/flock. It is an expensive, labor intensive, 60 day process

All our goat kids will be disbudded, NO EXCEPTIONS  

We have both horned and naturally polled (without horns) sheep breeds.

We DO NOT de-horn sheep.

All kids/lambs will have received colostrum and mothers milk. Those that stay until they are weaned will have had a selenium bolus, be up to date on CD&T vaccines, on a coccidia prevention and be dewormed before they leave.  We will also give them a copper(goats) and cobalt bolus (Both) prior to leaving, providing they meet the weight minimum.

. 

-BOTTLE BABIES will only be sold to experienced people.  It is not just a “bonding thing” It is a delicate way of raising a kid/lamb and inexperience can cause fatal outcomes. 

YOU must be ready and able to provide the time and energy and resources to be responsible for providing any and all care it needs, including vaccines & worming, at the appropriate times. 

Bottle babies will not be removed before 3 weeks of age. 

-Wethers (castrated bucklings) must stay until weaned. 

WE DO NOT CASTRATE RAM LAMBS

We have VERY strict bio-security for our property. 

We have select areas that we allow prospective buyers in to observe and select animals for purchase. We require clean and Clorox dip-able shoes or new shoes when coming to the farm. No clothes (coats etc) that aren’t usually washed that have been around other livestock including horses. We do not allow vehicles past a certain point nor allow anyone in certain areas. We aren’t hiding anything, we are protecting our animals, milk and investment. We won’t apologize if someone is offended. We suggest you do the same for your farm.

We DO NOT recommend the purchased animal/s leave by a 3rd party transport, for health reasons. Shippers are frequently exposed to infected livestock and thereby capable of infecting clean livestock. Research your potential shippers and their bio-security and talk to people that have used them.
