WAITING LIST/KIDS SALE POLICY
UPDATED ON 4/13/20, PLEASE READ WAITING LIST/SALE POLICIES BEFORE GETTING ON A WAITING LIST!
To be placed on a waiting list for a specific breeding please contact me, I have a doe and buck kid waiting list open for each doe. The waiting list is free to get on but I ask you to be committed/serious about getting a kid
if you’re offered one. Please provide your full name, email address, & phone number when getting on a waiting list.
If a kid is offered to you, you have twelve hours to respond and decide if you’d like to buy the kid. If you decide you want the kid, a one hundred dollar deposit is needed to hold the kid (no exceptions). Your deposit is non refundable unless your kid die’s or has a serious injury (deposits will not be refunded for any other reasons). I accept PayPal and Venmo for deposits. If I don’t hear back from you within twelve hours, I will move on to the next person.
Kids will be able to go to their new homes at ten weeks, I expect kids to be off my farm by ten weeks but you have thirty days for your kid to leave my farm after they turn ten weeks. After the 30 days you will be charged a $5 fee per day for feeding/care until off my farm.
If you’re picking up your kid at the farm the kid must be payed in full for before leaving the farm. If you’re having having a kid ground transported or air shipped to you the kid needs to be payed in full for before the health certificate is done. A kid will not leave my property without being payed in full for.
I have the right to retain any kid that is born on my farm
Information About Our Kids.
All kids here are dam raised, we do some bottle feeding also. If requested your kid can be bottle fed. All of my kids are disbudded (if they're not polled), vaccinated with CD&T, wormed, tattooed, hoof trimmed, & have a clean bill of health before they leave the farm. Kids start to get weaned at nine weeks and are fully weaned around ten weeks.
- BOTTLE KIDS.
I will sell bottle kids at 4-6 weeks if you lots of experience bottle feeding. My kids can only go home early on the bottle if they will be fed goats milk, they can't go home early if they're going to be fed cows milk or replacer. Bottle kids will come disbudded (if they're not polled), tattooed, hoof trimmed, & they will have a clean bill of health. Since the kids are going home early they will not come vaccinated so if you vaccinate (I highly recommend vaccinating goats) that is your responsibility to do.
*I will only send a kid home on the bottle early if I feel that I can trust you with the responsibility.
Deposits, Prices/Paying, & Refunds.
A one hundred dollar depsoit is needed to hold a kid (no exceptions). Your depsoit is non refundable unless your kid dies or has a serious injury (deposits will not be refunded for any other reasons). We don’t refund any money received unless your kid dies or has a serious injury.
Once the kid leaves my farm it is no longer my responsibility, if something happens to your kid I will not refund your money.
When deciding pricing on the kids I look at the quailty of the dam and sire, pedigrees, linear appraisal scores, milk production, past offspring (if there is any), show wins, etc. My kids typically sell for $500-1,500 but prices can vary.
I accept PayPal, Venmo, and cash (no checks please). If you're sending money through PayPal please send it through they friends and family button or send it through good/services but add on the extra fees for the charge of sending the money.
Health Guarantee.
I guarantee that kids will be healthy when they leave the farm, but once they leave and go onto your farm I can't guarantee health anymore. I am very strict about our biosecurity and I maintain a clean herd. Our herd is tested yearly for CAE & JOHNES. The herd tested negative for CAE & JOHNES June 2020. Testing is sent to CAHFS at UC Davis, our herd will be tested again in Spring of 2021.
Although I am an extremely clean farm coccidiosis does seem to come up at weaning age when they kids get stressed out. If coccidia happens when your kid is supposed to go home then I will contact you and arrange another pickup date. When I notice kids getting coccidia we treat immediatly and it normally clears up after a day or two. Your kid can go home shortly after the five days of treatment is over.
Registration/Registering.
Goats that are born on my farm have my farm name which is Goat Addiction. The goat(s) that you reserved will have be registered in your name once they are payed in full for, registration papers will be sent in the mail to you or given to you at pickup. A registration fee will apply.
My goats are registered with ADGA & AGS. We may name kids but please have some names ready for your kid also, please be creative when thinking of names.
Right Of Refusal.
I have the right to refuse any sale without question if I think that a kid won't have a good home or if it's not a good fit.
- Please Read ~
If your are buying goats from me you need to have a well built/secure shelter or barn to keep them out of the elements & away from predators. Goats don’t like standing in the rain & wind. You also need to make sure you have proper fencing to keep the goats in & to try to keep that predators out.
My bucks, doe’s, and kids are on a Orchard Grass & California Alfalfa. You can always switch them to a different hay but you will need to do it slowly so you don't upset their stomachs. Free choice loose minerals should be available to goats at all times, I use Sweetlix Caprine Magnum Milk Minerals. Fresh water should be available to goats at all times, they will not drink soiled water.
I won't sell a single goat unless you have goats already, goats are herd animals and don't like to be alone.
Pickup.
If you're in California I prefer that your kid could be picked up at the farm, I mainly do pickups on the weekends because I'm very busy during the week. If completly necessary you can pickup kids during the week. Please remember to pay through PayPal before you pick your kid up or bring cash when you come to pick the kid up. A kid will not leave my farm unless it is payed for in full. A secure crate or trailer is needed to transport a goat safely to your farm.
Shipping.
I offer air shipping and ground transport for my kids, they can be transported or shipped anywhere in the United States.
GROUND SHIPPING
To be ground shipped a kid will need a health certificate, and any additontal health testing that your state requires (only a few states require additional health testing & it is not expensive).
Ranch Call for Health Certificate - $65
Health Certificate- $25, goes down to $15 for each additional kid.
Additional health testing? Depends on what kind of testing needs to be done.
Transport, transport costs can vary but are normally $200-$600 depending on where you are.
I know two great ground transporter that I very much trust with my goats that make trips monthly. I prefer to do ground transporting with the transporters I know but if nesscary I may use a different transporter.
Ground shipping is the complete responsibility of the buyer, I don't have the time to arrange ground transport.
AIR SHIPPING
To be air shipped a kid needs a health certificate, any additonial health testing that your state requires (only a few states require additional health testing & it is not expensive), and a airline approved crate to be shipped in.
We book all flights, get kennels, & take kids the kids to the airport. The money for HC, any additional health testing (if your state requires it), the flight, & crate needs to be sent over before the health certifcate is done.
