Once you have been notified of a kid availability, you have 7 days to
pay your deposit to hold your kid till pickup or weaning.
A $100 non-refundable deposit is required to hold an
adult goat or doe kid ($50 deposit on wethers).
We accept cash, money order, Paypal with $3 transaction fee,
Credit Cards with 3% transaction fee (based on amount charged),
and personal checks provided they are received at least
two weeks prior to scheduled pick-up and that they clear the bank.
There will be a $50 NSF check fee should your personal check not clear the bank. We know things may happen that are out of your control that can cause NSF situations. Please contact us ASAP to discuss your options to take care of the NSF. Failure to do so will obviously forfeit your reservation (unless you take care of the NSF and deposit) and we reserve the right to send the NSF check fee to collections.
Purchasing a Kid from us:
For those with prior bottle feeding experience, we may allow you to
take your baby home at 4 weeks of age. We reserve the right to refuse such a request for any reason if it impacts the well being of your kid.
No kids will leave prior to 4 weeks.
All our kids are fed raw milk from their dams. If you are taking a kid home prior to weaning we may send home enough milk to feed a day or two. We recommend you source either your own raw goat milk or raw whole cow's milk before picking up your kid. Although not as good, whole milk from the store will work if that is your only option. Do NOT feed less than whole milk. Goats need the higher fat content. We do not recommend a powdered milk supplement as there have been too many issues with quality and compatibility to goat kid tummies.
We have a sliding price scale for our kids based on when he or she leaves the farm. It is a lot of work to bottle feed kids as we have to milk their dams twice a day, bottles to clean and sterilize between each feeding, milk to be warmed up prior to each round, and then the time to ensure each kid is receiving enough milk by feeding each and every one separately.
FOR WETHERS
Listed Price if taken home at or by 6 weeks of age
Additional $20 if taken home at or by 8 weeks of age
Additional $40 if taken home at or by 10 weeks of age
FOR DOELINGS/BUCKLINGS
Listed Price if taken home at or by 6 weeks of age
Additional $20 added to listed price if taken home at or by 8 weeks of age
Additional $40 added to listed price if taken home at or by 10 weeks of age
When we bottle feed, we use the following schedule:
4-5 weeks of age: 3 feedings of 5-6 oz at 8 am, 2 pm, 8 pm
6-7 weeks of age: 2 feedings of 8-10 oz at 8 am and 8 pm
8-12 weeks of age: 1 feeding at 8 am
By 8 weeks our kids are eating hay and grain as their primary diet.
We wean between 8-12 weeks here on the farm.
The the actual time depends on the health/progress of the kid.
Some of our kids may be on a modified bottle diet where they sleep separate from mom at night, then receive one bottle in the morning (after milking their mom), and then they spend the day with their dams nursing as needed. This still makes for friendly kids, they are able to take a bottle full-time as needed, and yet they still get herd time to learn how to be a goat.
You will have 14 days to pick up your goat or kid(s) upon being notified they are ready to go. Failure to do so, or make other arrangements, is grounds to lose your deposit. In the event you chose to pay for your selected goat in full (and have been notified they are ready to go), we reserve the right to keep up to 50% of the paid amount before refunding the balance should you fail to pick up your goat as scheduled.
If longer than 14 days is needed to pick up your goat, there may be a small boarding fee of $10 per week for feed and care. Arrangements must be made within the 14 day period. The board must be paid in full prior to or at time of pickup.
Neutering Wethers
Intended wethers will be neutered using a Burdizzo/Emasculatome.
There are pros and cons to this method:
PRO: More humane method, no open wound for possible infection
CON: May take several months to confirm it was successful
This process crushes the spermatic cord and blood vessels to the testicles cutting off blood flow causing them to shrink and die off within the sack. This is a bloodless method as you are not cutting to castrate. We prefer this method as it is less painful than banding that may take days of throbbing to finally cut off the blood supply and less traumatic as they are usually up and moving the same day. You do need to check your boy in 3-4 weeks to confirm the testicles have stopped growing. By 3 months post procedure, they should be hard and have begun to shrink.
If for any reason we fail to crush the cord completely and it needs to be done again, please just let us know to make an appointment to check and do the procedure again if needed.
Regarding Adult Goat Purchases:
We may not refund your deposit if you change your mind about purchasing an adult goat without just cause (subject to our approval). We ask that arrangements to pick up an adult goat be made at the time you pay your deposit. We will allow 14 days to pick up an adult goat. If a longer time
is needed you must make arrangements and have a clear time for pickup.
Depending on the time frame, a boarding fee of $10 per week may be assessed and must be paid prior to or at pickup. We will confirm this at the time pick up arrangements are made.
All goats and kids must be paid in full before or at time of pickup.
In the event something happens that we deem necessary to halt the sale of a kid or goat that you have paid a deposit on or made payments on prior to you picking them up, we will refund your deposit and any payments made or you may apply your deposit and any payments made to another kid/goat that is available at that time.
All kids will be disbudded, current on CD/T vaccines, current on worming, and will have been started on grain that contains and anti-cocci medication prior to being sent to their new homes. We reserve the right to wether any buckling that does not meet our breeding standards and/or sell a doeling as a pet without papers for the same reason. Bucklings are normally wethered around 6-8 weeks of age.
We will not take a goat back after it has left our farm. Kids will leave our farm in good health. We make no warranties or guarantees for any illness, injury, or death that occurs after a goat/kid leaves our farm. There are many factors that are out of our control that can effect a goat/kid once they leave our farm such as: care, feed, sanitation, bio-security (exposure to illness/disease), and stress. We do not guarantee the breedability, show career, or milk production of any goat/kid. Should you decide not to keep a goat that you've purchased from Wild Bramble Farm, we would be happy to help you in finding it another home.
