Sales & Pickup
How do I reserve a goat?
Submit reservation request form. We have a "first to pay gets the goat" policy. We reply to inquiries in order received, but unfortunately you might miss out on a goat because someone sent deposit before you.
What's your refund policy for deposits?
You have 5 calendar days to cancel and receive refund. After that time, deposit is non-refundable unless seller cancels or buyer does not accept condition of goat at time of pickup.
What's included in cost?
Registration/transfer paperwork for ADGA & AGS, CDT vaccines, disbudding and tattoo -- plus, our help & support!
Do you offer guarantees?
We sure do! We offer health, CAE/Johnes, and fertility guarantees. For more info, see "guarantees" section of sales policy
Can we name our kid?
Due to past buyer issues regarding names & registration, we usually register goats prior to pickup. If you have your heart set on a name, let us know and maybe we can work something out.
Do you sell wethers?
No. We give back to the community by donating them to 4H and school ag programs.
Why do your goats cost so much?
Purebred, registered animals simply cost more. You are not just buying a goat, but the time and care we invested to build our herd.
When do I pick up my goat?
For kids: Usually 10-12 weeks old. Bottle babies: By 10 days old. All others: Within 14 days of reservation.
Where do I pickup?
At our house. You can still see our goats and we're happy to bring certain ones over to you; however, due to liability and head health reasons, we do not allow guests in our barn.

Registration & Goat Names
What registries are available?
AGS, ADGA, NDGA
What paperwork do I need to register/transfer?
We give you everything. If you didn't buy from us, the seller should have given you: For new registration - Registration form. For goats already registered - Original certificate with transfer form
What must a goat name include?
Names are a combination of the herd name + goat name. Full name cannot exceed 30 characters (includes spaces). Example 1: Dixie Blue Last Alarm. Dixie Blue is herd name. Last Alarm is goat name. Example 2: Another method is using sire's initial. Dixie Blue BW Final Call. "BW" is Bruce Wayne's initials, the sire's name.
I bought a bred doe. What herd name and tattoo ID do I use?
Follow the "who owned the doe" rule. Use herd name of who owned doe at time of breeding. Use tattoo ID of who owned doe at time of birth.
Do I need to be a member to register/transfer goats?
No, but it will cost more. If you plan to breed and want to register kids, you will need a herd name and tattoo ID (usually requires membership to obtain).
What's +* and all those letters mean on names?
It means your goat has show wins, good milking lines, and/or superior genetics. Click here for a great article that breaks it down for you.
What's re-registration?
Let's say you have a registered goat, but it's not with your preferred registry. So you send registration proof to your preferred registry and they say "sure, we'll add that goat to our records." That's called re-registration. Here's who accepts who:
