Sales

Sales are made on a first come basis (Money down).
We reserve the right to refuse any sale if we feel it is in the best interest of the animal.

No animal is considered "Reserved" for purchase until money has been received.

An animal can be reserved and held for an agreed upon period of time by calling or emailing.

 Once a decision is made to purchase ~ 1/2 purchase price is Required via Paypal or check/money order, to hold that animal.

We allow 1 week for receipt of Reservation money.
If money is not received within that week, and we have not been notified by customer of reason for delay,
the animal is once again listed as "Available" on our sales page.

At the time of reservation, plans must be made for pickup. If pickup plans fall through, other plans must be agreed upon.
 It is important that your animal be picked up as per arrangement. 

Any buyer that does not pick up animal within the arranged timeframe will forfeit Deposit & Animal.
Full payment is due prior to pickup (Checks must be allowed time to clear bank)
You may also choose to pay in cash upon pickup; that is your choice. 

Pricing

Kids that are reserved prior to birth, will pay the price listed on the Breeding schedule. 
Prices on non-reserved kids may be adjusted after kids hit the ground.

We strive to keep our prices reasonable.  We offer a discount of $25 off each animal purchased, after the 1st.
This discount does not carry over from year to year, and is offered at time of purchase only.

Guarantee

We Guarantee that our animal meets inspection of buyer upon receipt as thriving without sign of illness.
Since we have no control over care after the animal leaves our premises, No guarantee of continued health can be given
once the animal leaves our care.  Refund or replacement of animal will be provided if vet check shows any genetic fault.
(verification from your vet will be required)
We provide continued care via phone or email, so please contact us with any concerns or questions.

Any illness attributed to normal goat issues, that require owner maintenance, should be handled by new owner.
Buyer care or Lack thereof will NOT warrant return of money OR replacement of animal.
Any cost associated with replacement of animal, such as shipping & health certificate, will be the responsibility of buyer.

Deposits

Money paid in deposit for an animal selected for purchase will not be refunded due to change of heart or circumstance.
Please be sure that you want a specific animal prior to paying a deposit.
Case by case decisions will be considered in regard to exchange of selected animal, once a deposit has been made. 

Reservations

Reservations are tracked & filled by contact date (Email Reservations ~ they are printed & kept on file).

After kids are born, interested parties will be contacted via phone or email.
Once I have emailed or called to inform customer that kids are on the ground, you have 3 days to respond. 
If you have not responded by that time, those kids will be offered to the next person on my reservation list or
listed on my Sales page.

We reserve the right to retain any kids for our breeding program.
We sometimes trade kids with Health safe farms to attain lines rather than purchase.
This would affect availability of kids as well.  We reserve the right to retain kids for this purpose.
Reservations will be filled as we are able.  Feel free to give a 2nd or 3rd choice when making your reservation.
 
Bottle fed kids are available at 4 weeks of age, but only to experience goat handlers.
We encourage early pickup if you are able & would like to bottle feed & bond with your new baby goat.
Babies must be bottle fed for at least 8 weeks, with good quality Hay available for nibbling.
This will help with your transition from bottle to roughage.
In some cases, depending upon each kid, they may need to be bottle fed longer.
As the new owner, that determination is yours to make for the health of your goat.

Health Certificates

The vet charge is less for an office call, so there is a gas charge - please ask (it will depend upon the current cost of gas).
There is also the current cost of the actual Health certificate ~ please ask & we will check with our vet for the current cost.
When a buyer is picking up an animal at our farm or via a show we are attending, a health certificate is provided
at the buyers request.

Shipping

We ship out of Milwaukee International Airport, in WI.
Milwaukee Airport no longer has a Live Cargo department, therefore transport of the animal must be booked
from the front desk, along with other passengers, which makes this process an expense.
Their lack of knowledge in dealing with Live Cargo at the front desk, makes this action frustrating & time consuming.
We are forced to add a $25 Airport Fee to cover our expense and time for this service.
Parking fee & Baggage Cart rental are included in the Airport Fee.

Costs associated with shipping - See Below.

Crate ~ Depends upon size (We shop for the best deal)
We have found that it is less costly to the customer if we purchase a crate here for shipment of the animal.

Health certificate ~ Current cost in 2011/2012 has been approximately $45 - $50 consistently.

Trip to Vet & Airport at current cost of gas.

Airport fee ~  $25. - Due to discontinuation of Live Cargo Dept. @ the Milwaukee Airport

We keep these costs as low as we are able.  We have shipped many animals & can certainly empathize.

The customer reimburses expenses in full prior to shipping. (Vet bill, crate purchase & Services)
