Kids can leave our farm no sooner then 8 weeks of age, exceptions can be made for bottle babies. Kids will not be taken from their moms to make them bottle babies. Our goats are excellent mothers. I will not disbud the kids. We do have polled goats for those interested in animals with no horns.
Deposits/Payment -
Deposits on unborn kids will not be accepted. Anyone interested in purchasing a goat from us will be required to send a non refundable 50 % deposit within 7 business days after a verbal confirmation on a particular kid(s). If deposit is not received the goat will go back up for sale. Checks or money orders will be accepted. Checks will need time to clear before the goat leaves our farm. Goats will be put “on hold” until the deposit is received. Once we get the deposit, the goat will be marked as “sale pending”. The goat will not be sold until the asking amount is paid in full. We will not hold any goats without a deposit. There will be no exceptions. Just because the goat is still on the farm it does not mean it is still for sale.
Pick-up/Delivery -
Kids that are “sold” will have to be picked up within a reasonable time frame after 8 weeks of age. At this time, I do not deliver. Only occasions I can meet half way, but the buyer is expected to pay for gas. Goats can stay at our farm if transport is difficult for a short time. A small boarding fee may apply, depending on the situation.
The new owners must keep in touch if problems arise and they are not able to pick up or take the goats when they are scheduled to leave.
Health Certificates -
Health certificates and blood testing can be done at the buyer’s expense.
If problem(s) arise after kid(s) leaves the farm, contact immediately. Delayed contact, can keep buyer from obtaining a replacement, if found it was out of their control.
I would like to thank Driftwood Farms for letting me to adjust their purchase policy for my needs.
