All goats are dual registered with AGS and ADGA, and the senior does are on milk test through the Langston DHI lab under the auspices of AGS and ADGA. All adult goats are blood tested for CAE, Johne's, and CL on a regular basis (about every three or so years), and all new animals are quarantined and tested for those diseases, and for Brucellosis and TB as well. December, 2009, test results from Washington Disease Diagnostic Lab: all goats tested for CAE, CL, and Johnes; all sheep for CL and Johnes; the llama for Johnes -- all negative. April, 2011, all goats tested for CAE, CL, and Johnes -- all negative. January, 2013, all goats and sheep tested for CL and Johnes, goats for CAE and sheep for OPP -- all negative. February, 2016, I didn't have the llama or sheep any more but all goat does tested for CAE, CL, and Johnes -- all negative again. September, 2018, all does and bucks again negative. Follow links for pictures and further information on each goat. Please email or call to discuss prices, reservations, and availability, and to set up appointments to visit. Prices: Wethers (neutered males) are $175 each. Does and breeding bucks are individually priced according to their show potential and the quality of their parents - discounts for multiple purchases of does and breeding bucks. Reservations are $100 for a doeling or buckling, $50 for a wether. I reserve the right to retain for my herd any kid born here. If you reserve a kid before it is born, the price listed on the kidding schedule at that time is locked in. If the doe does not produce enough offspring for the number of reservations, you may choose to have your deposit returned, or to apply it to another available kid. If you decide not to purchase an available kid that you reserved, your deposit is not refunded. Please make arrangements to take posession of the kid in a timely manner; otherwise, there may be board charges. Thank you for understanding and helping to make this process go smoothly. The kids are usually ready to go to their new homes around two to three months old. All kids are handled extensively and partially bottle-fed to make them friendly. When you pick up your kid at two months or older it will be disbudded, tattooed, wormed, vaccinated, and accompanied by a complete health record, and most wethers will already be wethered. Buck kids are generally neutered at two to three months and sold as pets, although I will keep the most promising ones intact as long as possible. Write or call to see what kids are still available as bucks if you are interested. The links in the breeding/kidding tables go to the dams' and sires' pages, and to individual pictures of each kid. Kid pictures are usually taken around a couple weeks after they are born. |
