PURCHASES
- GENERAL INFORMATION
HORNS:
All goats are sold disbudded. If you want horns on your
kids (I strongly suggest against it) you must notify me before
I disbud my kids at about a week of age and be prepared to
take the kid at two weeks of age and raise it yourself.
PREWEANING AGE KID
HEALTH CHECK: Young kids will be visually inspected for
anemia and possibly a fecal test run before going to your
farm. They will be treated for coccidiosis prior to
leaving here if needed to avoid an outbreak due to the stress
of moving. Kids will be given a C&D antitoxin shot to
safeguard against stress-related enterotoxemia outbreaks due
to the stress of moving.
Wethers will be banded
and given a tetanus antitoxin shot before leaving. If
you are concerned about the development of urinary stones I
recommend you plan on NOT giving your wether any grain and
feeding a high calcium mineral possibly with ammonium
chloride.
If you buy a kid on the
bottle it is extremely important to coordinate with me
regarding bottle feeding. It would be best to plan to
have the same type of nipples I use and a compatible milk
replacer. There is some information on my care program
page as to what I recommend for bottle feeding.
WEANING AGE KID HEALTH
CHECK: Older
kids will also be checked for coccidiosis
and also worms and treated as necessary before leaving for
your farm. Depending upon how old the kids are and what
you want to do as far as vaccinations go, they may have a C&D
antitoxin shot or their first course of Covexin Eight.
If they have already had Covexin and you wish to booster them,
make sure to have this vaccine on hand either from your vet or
purchase a bottle for yourself or ask me to give you a shot
and plan to bring a cooler when you pick up your kid(s).
ADULT GOAT HEALTH CHECK: Milking
does will be visually inspected for anemia and likely wormed
before leaving so to not spread worms quickly to your
property. All milking does will be sent to their new
home with a generous supply of my grain so that you can slowly
mix the feed with your feed (I use a custom mix that is not
commercially available). Please plan on having suitable
grain and good quality grass hay available for your goats.
Hooves will likely have some growth to them as it's not
advised to move goats right after freshly trimming their feet.
Dry older does, older
bucks and most kids are not usually sold with grain for you to
mix, they can be slowly put on new grain with no ill effects.
They will likely be wormed before leaving.

VERY IMPORTANT INFO

Once you
decide which kid(s), doe or buck you want and you send me a
deposit at the proper time, be
prepared at that time to set a date with me for pickup or
delivery. Whether we agree upon a date two days later or
two weeks later, if you don't pick up your kids by the
agreed upon date you will be charged boarding fees of $5.00 per
goat per week. Once the boarding fees exceed the amount of
the deposit you paid, you will forfeit your deposit and the
animal will go back up for sale. NO EXCEPTIONS
