We do take reservations for kids!!

I do not sell my myotonic goats for meat. There are other breeders out there that do, so you should be able to find one. I sell my goats as pets and breeders only. To get on
our waiting list, please contact us by phone or email.

 

I do reserve the right to cancel or refuse a sale if I feel it is in the best interest of my animals (or myself) to do so.  If a deposit has been paid, and I cancel the sale, I will return the full amount paid to me by the potential buyer. I generally do not accept deposits unless I am confident that the buyer is a good choice as a home for the animal in question, so this is not something that happens often.  

We do require a 50% deposit to hold kids.  Anyone wanting a neutered male or a disbudded kid needs to pay in full before the deed is done, so send full payment instead of 1/2 if you want a dehorned and/or neutered kid. This deposit needs to be received within one week, or the kid is offered to the next person on our waiting list. I offer the kids on a first come - first serve basis.. if you are first on the list, you get first choice, if you are not interested in the kid I have for sale, his/her pictures will be sent to the next person etc... If I have not heard back from you within 48 hours, (by phone or email) I will forward the pictures to the next person on my list.

This system has worked well for me for the last couple of years. I do my best to get the pictures sent to you as quickly as possible, usually the day the kids are born or the following day.

All goats for sale are horned with brown eyes unless described otherwise.  I will disbud your new goat at your request.  There is a $20 fee per goat for disbudding.  This needs to be done at a very young age and I can NOT guarantee complete success.  Some kids seem to disbud fine, only to grow horn scurs several months later.  I personally like goats with horns so many of our goats will be sold with horns if they are not sold by 2 weeks of age.  If you want your kid disbudded FULL payment is required before it is done, so send full amount instead of 1/2 down when mailing deposit.  Our fainter kids are held daily and are very friendly.  We have never had a problem with horned goats hurting us or our children.

 

I do register ALL buck and doe kids at MGR before they leave our farm.  I also send you all the necessary paperwork if you want to register your kids at IFGA as well.  I do not register wethered kids, since the main reason for registering is to keep track of bloodlines for breeding purposes.  IF you want your wether registered, I will send in the papers and pictures for you if you pay the registration fee. (which is $8.00 at MGR)

I do not register pet quality doe kids and I do not give out registration papers for them either.  

I will not sell a single goat to anyone that does not already own at least one goat.  As these pictures clearly show, goats are a "herd animal" and they really do need one of their own kind to live with...  I also do not agree with buying fainters to live with other breeds of goats.  Pygmy goats and other breeds will faint the fainters and then ram them while they are down... sometimes repeatedly.... I really do not feel it is fair to keep fainters with other goats that do not faint.  Fainters are a very non-agressive breed and are best kept together. 

 

Wethers (neutered males) make wonderful companions for Does or Bucks and cost much less.   Many new goat buyers want to buy one doe kid and one buck kid, so they can breed in the future.  This is NOT what I encourage.... the reason I don't encourage this is because bucks and does have to live separately, so you are basically buying two single lonely goats if you purchase your goats this way.

 

I encourage people to buy 2 does their first year and the following year, if they are interested in breeding, they should buy a buck and a wether for his pen mate.  This way all of their goats have a companion and the does will be ready for breeding the same year the buck is ready.  Most bucks can breed at 5-6 months old, but does should NOT be bred at this age, so that is another reason not to buy buck and doe kids the same year for breeding together.
