Pricing
Prices are the same for bucks and does as we keep only the best bucklings as
breeding animals. If we wouldn't be proud to use it in our own breeding program,
we won't sell it to you! On rare occasions we will have mature does and bucks for sale -
they are priced based on their individual merit.
No one, including us, can guarantee the mammary systems on doe kids.
We strive for excellence in conformation, dairy character and mammary system, but
breeding animals is not a perfect science. To know
for sure what a mammary system looks like we recommend purchasing a milker if
available.
Prices quoted are for animals picked up at the farm;
additional charges including kennels, health certificates, shipping costs, etc.,
are the responsibility of the buyer. Basic health certificates are $40 . Any
additional testing required, such as for TB or Bruc., will be added to your
bill.
We bottle-feed the vast majority of
our kids. The benefits are tremendous but so can be the work load! Therefore we ship or
require that bottle babies be picked up at
4 to
6 weeks of age to
be finished on the bottle by their new owners.
Reservations
We are not currently taking reservations on unborn kids. If you are
interested in purchasing a kid from us please email to be put on a waiting list
and keep an eye on our Kidding Schedule and Sales page. Available animals will
be listed there first and often go quickly. A $100 deposit will hold the animal of your choice
for one
month, while shipping arrangements are made. Once notified of the birth of your reserved kid, you will be expected to remit
the remaining purchase price plus shipping/crate/health certificate fees within
3 weeks. Deposits will not be refunded on cancelled orders as
that money goes toward day to day feed and maintenance of the herd.
We reserve the right to keep any kid as a herd
replacements should we find it necessary to do so.
Shipping
We
ship bottle fed kids at 4-6 weeks of age, out of the Dallas-Fort Worth airport, using
primarily American, Delta and other major carriers. All
shipping costs are the responsibility of the buyer. This includes health
papers and any testing which may be required for shipping animals, crate, etc.
We will make all the
arrangements with the buyer being responsible for picking up the kid on their
end.
Shipping costs using AA Priority Parcel are currently running in the
neighborhood of $190 - $200 for a medium or intermediate
kennel with a total combined weight of 50 pounds or less. This cost
is of course subject to change. Unfortunately,
after many years of shipping 2 young kids together in a kennel, the airlines
have decided this is no longer an option and are insisting on only one kid per
kennel. We realize this is a hardship on our buyers and we do apologize. We
will continue to try!
We do not charge mileage for our two hour
round trip to the airport. We will gladly bring your kids to any show that
we are attending, free of charge. Even better, we encourage you to pick up your
kids at the farm if possible, so that you can see the dam and other relatives
first-hand.
Paperwork
All kids will come with a printed 4-generation pedigree, health certificates
including results of any testing required by you or your state, and registration
applications and transfers for ADGA and AGS.
Guarantee
All animals are
guaranteed healthy and free of disqualifying faults when they leave our farm. We also guarantee fertility and will
replace any infertile animal contingent upon receiving a veterinarian's
statement that the infertility was genetic in origin and the animal received
adequate care. Associated costs including shipping of any replacement animals
will be the responsibility of the buyer. Since we can not control any stress that may occur as a result of
shipping, or the animal's environment or management once it leaves our farm, we
cannot offer further guarantees.
If you have any questions about the
above policies please ask before committing to purchase.
