Breeding, Raising, Showing, Loving Nigerian Dwarf Goats

2012 Kidding Schedule

  • Reservations:
    • Email to inquire about your desired breeding.  Please be as specific as possible with what you are looking for.
    • We encourage you to have a 2nd and 3rd choice.
    • You will be added to the breeding/wait list.
    • Buck reservations - Only the best will be left intact.  We reserve the right to wether any of our bucks if we feel they do not meet our expectations.  We reserve the first right of refusal on all bucks sold if they are offered for resale. We reserve the right to 20 straws of semen from any buck sold for the cost of collection and processing only.  All bucks are sold with a signed contract.

    Once kids are born I will contact you -

    • You have 5 days to respond. Please make sure you have a confirmation from me when responding via phone and/or email.
    • If I have not heard back within the 5 days via phone/email I assume you are no longer interested and will continue to the next person on the list.
    • Half payment is expected within 5 days of confirmation to buy the goat.
    • Pick-up of goat(s) is expected to be <= 12 weeks from DOB if previous arrangements were not made.  If your goat(s) are not picked up by then you forfeit the animal and the cost of purchasing the animal.  Please let us know your plans when possible.
    • Goat(s) must be paid in full before leaving to their new home.  Acceptable forms of payment are cash and USPS money order.
  • About Our Goats:

    We test our older goats for CAE using the c-Elisa method and have done random CL testing. Colorado is a TB & Brucellosis free state.

    We dam raise and wean between 8-9 weeks of age. We do not allow our kids to leave our farm until they are 9-12 weeks old. Stress can kill and believe it’s best to wait 5-7 days after weaning before transporting.  Smaller kids could require more time.  Larger kids along with a group of goats need less time before they can leave to their new homes. 

    Transfer of Registration Certificates to your name is buyer's responsibility.

  • Payment:

    Payment in full is expected for goats on the For Sale page.  We do accept PayPal with a 4% additional fee.  Please contact us before paying via PayPal.

    If payment is not received within 5 days, your hold on the animal is released.

    For payment on reserved/unborn kids - please read the Reservation section above.

  • Cancellations:

    No refunds (You do not pay for reserved kids till after they are born).  You can transfer your payment to another available goat.

    If the animal dies while at our farm, you will receive a 100% refund or you can transfer your payment to another available goat.

  • Goat Work-Up:

    Before leaving kids will have both CD&T shots, trimmed hooves, probiotics, selenium/E, wormed, tattooed (if applicable) and dehorned.

    We have never had a case of Coccidiosis and do not pre-treat for Coccidiosis.

  • Pick-Up/Travel:
    • No goat will leave our farm if it is ill
    • We are not responsible for your goat’s health once the goat leaves our property
    • The risk of loss and/or sickness transfers to the new owner once the animal leaves our farm
    • A health certificate, vet check, and any additional requested blood workup is at buyers expense
    • If you have any doubts, we encourage you get a full veterinary examination at buyer's expense

    • Kids are expected to be picked up at 9-12 weeks of age. Kids not picked up within that time frame will be charged a boarding fee of $2/day unless previous arrangements were made. Your balance due must be zero before your kid(s) can leave our farm. Payment method for balance due is cash.

    Owner Pickup Method – we prefer this method because no one will care for your goat better than you.

    Plane Method – we have used Delta, Frontier, Continental, and United Airlines in the past with great success.  Your costs are crate/goat, Health Certificate/goat, $24 for tolls, and $60 for gas/time. It is the buyer's responsibility to make sure the kid(s) have the needed vaccines/shots/exam for their state.  We fly out of Denver or Colorado Springs.  If flying out of Colorado Springs, there is no toll and gas charge.  We ask that the buyer make the plane arrangements because it is a time consuming task.

    Hauler Pickup Method – our least favorite method and not always cost effective. We prefer to have health certificates issued as close to the departure time as possible. Please provide us with your hauler information as soon as possible so that we can coordinate with them.

    It is the buyer's responsibility to make sure the kid(s) have the needed vaccines/shots/exam for their state.
