SALES POLICY

SALES POLICY:

DEPOSITS ARE NON REFUNDABLE ON GOATS PICKED BY BUYER

Any goat that is listed as available will be sold to the first person who puts a deposit down. For those that are inquiring and have questions or requests for more photos, please be aware that does not mean the goat is on hold for you. We get a lot of inquiries and will do all we can to help you make your decision but 1st person to place a deposit down secures the goat if they are on the for sale page. They are first come, first serve. We reserve the right to cancel reservations on kids.  ONCE THE DEPOSIT IS RECEIVED WE WILL HOLD THE KID UNTIL IT CAN LEAVE AT USUALLY AT 10-12 DAYS OF AGE. BALANCE DUE ON THE KID WILL BE UPON PICKUP AT OUR FARM IN THE FORM OF CASH ONLY.   DEPOSITS ON KIDS ARE REFUNDABLE IF THE KID SUFFERS A PERMANENT INJURY OR DEATH BEFORE IT HAS LEFT OUR FARM.   DEPOSITS CANNOT BE SWITCHED OUT OR SWAPPED FROM ONE GOAT TO ANOTHER, IT IS TO HOLD THE GOAT OR KID THE BUYER HAS SPECIFIED THEY WANTED AND HAVE DEPOSIT HOLDING. THE DEPOSIT WILL BE LOST IF BUYER BACKS OUT OF BUYING ONE THAT THEY SPECIFIED THEY WANTED WHEN THE GOAT WAS BORN AND OFFERED.
BUCK KIDS - ALL BUCK KIDS NOT UP TO OUR STANDARDS WILL BE SOLD AS WETHERS WITHOUT PAPERS FOR PETS OR COMPANION ANIMALS.   THEY WILL NEED TO BE BANDED (WETHERED) BY THE NEW OWNER WHEN THEY TURN AT LEAST 3 - 4 MONTHS OLD. VACCINATIONS AT 4 WEEKS AND AGAIN AT 7 WEEKS ARE OPTIONAL (SOME BREEDERS VACCINATE, SOME DON'T) AND ARE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE BUYER IF THE KID HAS ALREADY GONE TO IT'S NEW HOME. UNTIL KIDS ARE BORN, YOU CAN ONLY EVALUATE THE GENETIC POTENTIAL OF THOSE KIDS. ONCE ON THE GROUND, WE WILL EVALUATE EACH KID AND WILL THEN DECIDE IF THE ANIMAL IS WORTHY OF CARRYING OUR HERD NAME INTO YOUR HERD.

ALL KIDS WILL BE BOTTLE RAISED AND DISBUDDED BEFORE LEAVING OUR FARM.   IN MOST CASES NEW KIDS CAN LEAVE AND EXPECTED TO BE PICKED UP BY BUYERS WHEN THEY ARE ABOUT 10-12 DAYS OF AGE WHERE THE NEW OWNER WILL CONTINUE BOTTLE RAISING UNTIL THEY ARE ABOUT 9 WEEKS OLD.   THE KIDS ARE BOTTLE RAISED WITH GOATS MILK AND THEN SWITCHED OVER TO WHOLE COW MILK FROM THE GROCERY STORE BEFORE THEY LEAVE TO GO TO NEW HOMES WHERE THE NEW OWNER WILL CONTINUE WITH THE WHOLE COW MILK UNTIL THEY ARE WEANED AT USUALLY 9 WEEKS.   WE WILL PROVIDE THE BOTTLE/NIPPLE AND CARE GUIDE.  IF KIDS ARE NOT PICKED UP BY THE DATE REQUESTED, THERE MAY BE ADDITIONAL CHARGE OF $5 A DAY OR $35 A WEEK FOR THE BOTTLE FEEDING/CONTINUED CARE OF THE KID(S) THAT ARE READY TO BE PICKED UP.   THIS IS A CASE BY CASE SITUATION AS SOME BUYERS ARE OUT OF STATE OR PERHAPS WAITING ON AN ADDITIONAL KID TO BE BORN TO GO WITH ONE RESERVED.  REGISTERED STOCK FREE FROM DISQUALIFYING FAULTS AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE.
ALL KIDS ARE GUARANTEED HEALTHY AT THE TIME OF SALE WHEN THEY LEAVE OUR FARM.  SINCE WE CANNOT CONTROL ANY STRESS THAT MAY OCCUR AS A RESULT OF LEAVING OUR FARM AND GOING TO A NEW ENVIRONMENT OR CARE AND PROPER FEEDING AND MANAGEMENT, WE CANNOT OFFER FURTHER GUARANTEES.   STRESS IS VERY COMMON IN KIDS AND ADULTS OF ALL AGES WHEN MOVED FROM ONE PLACE TO ANOTHER. ILLNESS AND IN RARE CASES DEATH CAN OCCUR IF THE ANIMAL IS NOT PROPERLY HANDLED OR TREATED. WE WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR STRESS OF ANY KIND AFTER THE ANIMAL LEAVES OUR FARM. WE MAINTAIN A CLEAN HERD AND DO ANNUAL TESTING ON ALL ANIMALS OVER 6 MONTHS OLD.   SELLER IS IN NO WAY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY VET BILLS MADE AFTER SAID GOAT(S) LEAVES THE CARE OF DOUBLE DURANGO.
WE DO COCCIDIA PREVENTION WITH ALL KIDS STARTING AT ONE WEEK AND CONTINUE TREATMENT UNTIL THEY LEAVE TO GO TO NEW HOMES WHERE IT WILL THEN BE THE NEW OWNERS RESPONSIBILITY TO CONTINUE THE NEEDED TREATMENTS. SINCE GOATS ARE INSTINCTIVELY HERD ANIMALS, THEY REQUIRE A "BUDDY" IN ORDER TO BE HAPPY AND HEALTHY. WE WILL NOT SELL ONE GOAT BY ITSELF UNLESS THERE ARE ALREADY GOATS AT THE NEW HOME IT IS GOING TO.  IF BUYER IS WANTING TWO KIDS THEN A DEPOSIT IS NEEDED ON THE FIRST ONE AND WE WILL HOLD UNTIL A SECOND KID IS BORN TO GO HOME WITH THE FIRST. WE DO NOT SUGGEST GETTING A BOY AND A GIRL TOGETHER AS THE BOY WILL TRY TO BREED THE GIRL TOO SOON AND THEY WOULD NEED TO BE SEPARATED AND THEREFORE BOTH WOULD BE ALONE AND STRESSED WITHOUT THE OTHER. WE SUGGEST EITHER TWO GIRLS OR TWO BOYS SO WHEN SEPARATED THEY EACH STILL HAVE A BUDDY. IF BREEDING IS DESIRED THEN WE WOULD SUGGEST TWO GIRLS AND TWO BOYS SO THEY EACH STILL HAVE A BUDDY ONCE SEPARATED. PLEASE SEE OUR NIGERIAN DWARF GOAT PAGE FOR MORE INFORMATION ON DWARF GOATS AND THEIR CARE.   BY ENTERING INTO A PURCHASE YOU HAVE AGREED TO THE TERMS OF THE SALES POLICY.
