HOW MUCH ARE YOUR BABY GOATS?

They range from $100 as wethers (castrated males) to $900 as our highest quality milking doelings. It depends on the goat and its milking & champion genetics.

DO YOU SHIP BABY GOATS?

For everybody who lives outside the state of Arizona, shipping is an additional $700 fee.

We don't do international shipping with our baby goats -- it's too much time spent in a cage.

HOW SOON CAN THEY BE WEANED?

Our babies are ready to leave their mother at around the 8 week mark. At this point, they will be eating almost 100% alfalfa & pasture browse and will be ready to be fully weaned from their mother.

ARE THESE BABIES REGISTERED?

All of our babies are available to be registered through the AGDA. We provide you with the paperwork to send in for their registrations.

ARE THESE BABIES BOTTLE-FED OR DAM-RAISED?

Our babies are always raised by the dam (their mother) but are given a bottle on milk testing day, which makes them very friendly but not overly so. We also spend a lot of time hand raising them so they are very familiar with humans. After going back and forth through the years on whether bottle fed or dam raised babies make better goats, we've found that bottle fed babies are annoyingly friendly and constantly want to chew everything. So instead, we let their mothers raise them, give them a bottle on milk testing day, and we spend a lot of hands on time making sure they love people as well.

ARE THESE BABIES VACCINATED?

Yes, we vaccinate for CD&T at 8 weeks and 12 weeks

ARE THEIR HORNS REMOVED?

Yes, we always disbud our baby goats when they are about a week old. We believe this makes for a safer herd, as goats often fight with each other, can get caught in a fence, or harm a human when they have horns. We've tried both the regular disbudding method & the clove oil method and have settled on the regular method to achieve the best success, but now we also give a topical anesthetic before to reduce pain.

ARE THE MALES CASTRATED?

We usually wait until we know what the new owner wants to use the baby goat for. If the owner wants a breeding buck, we leave him intact. If the owner is looking for a pet, we always castrate.

IS YOUR HERD TESTED FOR CAE/CL & DISEASE-FREE?

Our farm tests annually for CAE, CL, Johne's Disease, Brucellosis, Q Fever, & Chagas, and have always had negative results. We can provide the testing paperwork for you as well.
