Reservations and Sale Terms
Breeder's Section:
All reservations will be granted to the first deposit that is received.
Registration is included with the price of each kid.
With genetics there are no guarantees. Based on this, we reserve the right to cancel the sale of a pre-sold kid if, in our opinion, the kid is not suitable for sale based on the buyer's needs. We will do our best to evaluate the animal, but evaluating kids can be difficult because there are so many changes that happen during that first year of growth.
We will alert a buyer, when a reservation is placed, if we have an interest in possibly keeping a kid from that particular breeding. Based on that notification, we retain the right to cancel the sale if we decide to retain a kid that has had a deposit placed on it. In the event that happens, we will try to find a suitable replacement that is acceptable to the buyer or will refund all deposits in full upon the buyer's request. If you have not been notified that we are considering retaining a kid from a breeding we WILL NOT bump a buyer and keep a kid because we decide we want it after birth. We reserve the right to purchase 20 straws of semen at the cost of collection on any buck we sell.
In the event that a free breeding by one of our bucks was negotiated within the sale of a doe, that breeding is good for the year of purchase to the original buyer of the animal. It is not transferrable if the animal is sold to a third party, or to other years.
Buyer's Section:
Payments: A deposit of $100.00 will hold the breeding of your choice, with the balance being due within 10 days upon notification of the birth of your kid choice. If the kid of your choice is not born or is not offered for sale, your deposit will be refunded or transferred at your discretion. If you desire, please make a second or third choice in case either of these options need to happen. We will do everything possible to find an animal that you feel is suitable for your herd. Please read animal pages carefully as we include all performance info on each one. You should find all the information you need on any given animal on their herd page.
All ANIMALS MUST BE PAID IN FULL BEFORE LEAVING THE FARM. If you need a payment plan, payments must be completed in full before the animal leaves. Payments should be made by cash, or money order. We will accept personal checks for deposits at least two weeks in advance of pickup. Thank you for your understanding.
Shipping: The buyer is responsible for all shipping fees with supplies, and health papers. We make every effort to make firm shipping arrangements with the airlines. We are not responsible for changes that the airlines make after booking is completed and are not responsible for vet fees, or materials purchased if airline changes happen that are out of our control. We ship out of Portland international Airport.
Prices on the breeding page are good for pre-ordered kids only.
Health Policy We test our herd annually for CAE. We will furnish a full herd CAE test report at the time of purchase. We can retest any purchased animal for CAE at the buyer's expense, if requested, before the animal leaves our herd. We are not responsible for any animal that tests positive for CAE after it leaves our herd and has been exposed to other herds or circumstances.
**While our herd is, and always has been CAE free, we have chosen to continue pulling our kids at birth and feeding them pasteurized colostrum and milk. Many transmitted animal diseases do not show themselves until years down the road. Based on that we feel the most prudent protection we can give our animals and our buyers is to continue with a disease prevention program of pasteurized milk and colostrum. We do not charge extra for this service but consider it a dynamic of conscientious herdsmanship and a gift to our animals and buyers.
All animals will be sold healthy and without known illnesses, but are the responsibility of the buyer upon the animal leaving our farm. We have never had our animals infected with CL or CL on our farm.
All Does' CAE status is listed on their page.
