2014 Kids For Sale


The 2014 kidding season started early!
Contact us to schedule a farm visit and make a deposit. 
Prices will be the same as last year, except for those with rare color patterns or blue eyes:
Doelings:  $250 and up*
Bucklings: $150 and up*
Wethers: $100.*

*See captions below for specific prices on each animal.

 There are 12 kids this year - 7 females and 5 males.  For simplicity, I will refer to them by their tag # - they will have ear tags numbered in the order they were born (the tag starts with 14 for the year 2014, followed by 01 through 12).

Because we do not disbud (dehorn), only those kids who are polled will be naturally hornless.  We do have one breeding buck who is polled, so usually 50% of his offspring will also be polled.  If we have been able to figure out if they are polled yet, the photo captions below will indicate that.

All of our goats will be registered with the Myotonic Goat Registry (MGR).  You can choose any of the males listed as either breeders or wethers (castrated males - we will take care of that before they leave the farm). 

Many goat breeders will not sell just one goat unless you have another at home, and we agree with this practice.  Goats are herd animals and need the company of other goats to be happy and healthy.  Discounts are given for purchasing 2 or more animals.
Babies will be ready to go to their new homes when they are weaned at 8 weeks of age. 

To see photos of the adult herd and their MGR registration numbers, go to the list of posts to the right and click on "2012", then "April", then "Our Herd".
