Sales Policy
We will not take deposits on kids until they are on the ground and we decide who will be retained. Then a non-refundable deposit of 1/2 the purchase price is required to reserve your kid once they are posted as available. The deposit will hold a kid until weaned unless other arrangements have been made. Please let me know if you are interested in an animal from a certain breeding so I can put you on a reservation list. If the animal becomes unavailable due to our decision or unforeseen circumstances, then all payments will be refunded (or transferred toward the purchase of a different goat at the request of the buyer). All sales are final.
ALL kids will be disbudded before they leave if they are not polled. We DO NOT sell horned goats. While we know it is a preference for some, we believe we are protecting the safety of people and other goats they may be with. Dairy goats cannot be shown with horns and are less marketable with horns. We sold does in the past that were bred and the new owners did not disbud. Our policy now on bred does will be that kids will not be registered or be able to be registered with our herd name if they are not disbudded. No exceptions!
ALL kids will receive 2 doses of CD&T prior to leaving if staying until weaned. If you wish not to have them vaccinated, please notify us before the kid is 4 weeks old. Payment must also be made in full at that time.
Once an animal leaves, it cannot be returned to protect the bio-security of my herd. You have the right to have any animal you purchase examined, on our property by a Veterinarian, at your expense prior to pick up. If, at this pre purchase exam the vet finds the animal to be unsound, any deposits will be refunded. Kids are healthy at the time they leave our property. I can not guarantee the health of the animal once it leaves our property. Since, I can no longer control the animals environment or management once they leave my care, I assume no responsibility.
All adult animals MUST be picked up within 30 days after deposit is made. The ONLY exception will be if something else is agreed upon prior to deposit. If not picked up in 30 days, the animal will be retained or posted for sale.
All charges, vet fees for health certificates, additional requested testing, and transportation costs are the responsibility of the buyer. If the buyer is using a transporter, they must pay the transporter directly (I will make no payments to the transporter). All animals, health certificates, and other requested testing must be Paid In Full before leaving the farm. I accept cash, checks, & PayPal. All payments not made in cash MUST clear the bank before the animal will be allowed to leave the farm. If the buyer is completing payment at pick-up or transport, then the final payment must be made in cash. I am willing to transport kids under 5 months old to the airport (purchase of a kennel is the buyer's responsibility). Animals being shipped by air will need to fly out of Scranton/Wilkes-Barre (AVP) airport. I will work with you as much as possible to get your animal to you as quickly and smoothly as possible.
