Sale’s Policy

Reservations for unborn kids do not require a deposit. If interested in a breeding let me know and it will be listed when received. Prices for kids reserved before being born are reflected on the Kidding page. Prices for kids/Adults already born will depend on the individual animal. Multiple goat purchase discounts are available. Purchased goats are healthy when they leave our farm. Kids will be disbudded, tattooed, wormed, and vaccinated and adults will have all current vaccinations, worming, and up-to-date testing. All weathers will be banded before leaving the farm unless going as bottle babys.
$100 will hold a Doe kid (non-refundable), 1/2 the asking price will hold a Buckling (non-refundable), and 1/2 of the asking price (non-refundable) will hold an adult goat of your choice ($25 non-refundable deposit for weathers).
All kids reserved before weaning need to be picked up within a reasonable amount of time (2 weeks after weaning). If a kid is not picked up within 4 weeks after weaning, and no arrangements have been made the kid will remain the property of Stone Creek Acres, and the deposit will not be refunded. Some kids may leave as bottle babies. In that case must be picked up within (6 weeks) from Birth, payment in full, if no arrangements have been made by (8 weeks) kid will remain the property of Stonecreek Acres, and the deposit will not be refunded.
A deposit on an adult goat will hold the animal for 4 weeks, if no arrangements have been made and not picked up within the 4 weeks from the time of deposit then a boarding fee of $5.00 per day will be added to the set price per goat. If an animal is not picked up within 8 weeks, the goat(s) will remain the property of Stone Creek Acre, and the deposit will not be refunded.
Deposits may be received as a check or PayPal. ( If paying with PayPal add 3% to your payment or use the PayPal friend option for no fee). Payment in full is expected before any animal leaves the farm. Cash/Paypal only is accepted if paying the balance owed at the time of pickup, a check is acceptable if it arrives at least 1 week before the kid/Adult goat leaves.
The entire goat herd comes from CL and CAE-free herds. We will test again in 2023 we also tested for Jhones in 2022. Testing is done annually on all goats older than 1 year of age. ( We do not test for CL and Jhones every year)
