Herd Health: In November of 2003 I achieved a Certified Brucellosis Free Herd status and a herd Acrcredited as Tuberculosis Free through the USDA. I continued those certifications through 2005, and when North Carolina was declared a t.b. and brucelloisis free state I have now stopped testing. For the 2010 year I plan on raising all kids on unpasteurized milk, as my herd has been CAE free for a number of years. I will raise a baby on pasteurized milk or milk replacer if so requested.

Sales/Reservations: I prefer to sell most of the kids that are for sale by two to three weeks of age, although I will raise any to weaning with appropriate deposits. Prices for most kids range from $350-500, with higher prices based on color and pedigree (black spotted/marbled is most rare), with an additional fee if raised to weanning age. As I specialize in spots and patterns,often there may sometimes be a really good deal on a solid colored baby, who would be carrying the gene for spots.. My prime male spotted animals are kept as buck kids, with many others wethered and later sold as pets, pack animals, or for meat. If you are interested in reserving a kid , please contact me and arrange a deposit for the dam of your choice, or a specified color pattern! If a 4H student in Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina or Tennessee needs a baby to show, please have your 4H goat leader contact me as a discount may be available. Please note specific sales list at end as well. I do reserve the right to "first choice" for herd replacements, unless otherwise specified in the sales contract.

Sales Guarantee: Animals leave here eating well and healthy. I am not usually able to check out where they are going, and thus can only offer a very limited replacement guarantee, as the type of homes, pastures and fencing they go to vary tremendously. If a baby dies within 6 months and a vet certificate ascertains from necropsy that there was a defect the animal will be replaced or money refunded. If an animal by age three has not reproduced, a vet certificate stating the cause of infertility or sterility as a genetic one (and not environmentally caused) will usually result in a replacement animal or other adjustment.

Deposits will be accepted for kids of most of the dams listed under Senior or Junior Does, or a deposit towards a specific spotting pattern, although I reserve the right to select replacement animals first for my herd - the patterns and spots I breed for are recessive, and sometimes just don't happen! . For animals that cannot be picked up here, I can arrange delivery via air freight from Charlotte Douglas International Airport. Deposits can only be refunded if doe does not produce desired color/sex reserved, with all deposits transferable to other available kids. Costs for health certificate, shipping crate, air transportation and insurance are the responsibility of the purchaser and must be prepaid. I prefer kids to be at least three weeks of age if they are to be air shipped. For those in the southeast United States, at times, it is possible to transport animals half way in exchange for gasoline costs.
