Ordering a Goat

2008 Saanen Sales List 2008 Nubian Sales List

We require a $50 deposit to hold the kid of your choice. This will be applied to the purchase price of the kid. If we can't fill your order with the kid you have reserved, you can transfer your deposit towards another kid, or have it refunded. We are sorry, but if you decide not to get your kid after it is born, the $50 is not refundable. Reserving your kid now will assure that you get the kid of your choice. Please make two selections in case your first choice has already been reserved.
After buying your first kid at full price we offer additional kids of equal or lessor value for 10% off. If you want to discuss a kid or doe over the phone please call Daniel (909) 734-2744. He is usually at work, so about 6:00 AM (Pacific Time), or on weekend mornings is the best time to call.
Kid raising: We have a CAE prevention program that has included 14 years of heat treating colostrum and pasteurizing milk for all kids. Our kids are fed milk for 12 weeks, and started on grain, and free choice alfalfa and clean water during that time. We feed our kids milk three times a day, approximately 1-2 pints each feeding for maximum growth.
	All kids are raised on heat treated goat colostrum, pasteurized goat milk and in special kid rearing areas with a small group of kids their age to reduce possible exposure to disease and parasites.
Shipping The price of each kid includes up to two weeks of boarding at our farm. After that time it needs to be picked up, shipped, or arrangements made for additional boarding. Additional boarding is available at a cost of $1.50 a day. We hope that every kid shipped or picked up will continue to be raised on a CAE prevention program. Our farm is near the Salt Lake City International Airport and we will deliver kids there for shipping. We have shipping carriers that can be borrowed and returned by UPS.
	All shipping costs and health certificate costs will be assumed by the buyer. In the past Delta Dash was about $165-200 and the health certificates were $15-30 depending on how many were shipped on that day. We welcome you to pick up your kids at our farm. We can also deliver kids to shows we attend.
Buck Kids We would like to reserve the right to get 25 straws of semen back at collection cost from our buck kids. Let us know, at the time you purchase the buck, if that is not going to be possible, otherwise this right is assumed.
Herd Health We have preventive medicine herd health and biosecurity programs on our farm. We test our goats annually for The Caprine Arthritis Encephalitis Virus (at The WSU Diagnostic Lab). We test annually for Brucellosis and Tuberculosis and are in the process of becoming accredited free. We also participate in the Scrapie Erradication program.
Note: We only sell semen from our bucks after we have seen their daughters freshen! Much progress, can be made by AI, but there are too many bucks being sold on pedigree information alone. Many "pedigree bucks" turn out to have daughters with less than suitable mammary systems, and production levels.
