Cheese for Sale
Our Kids are here!!! We have a wide selection of baby goats for sale this season. Nigerian Dwarf Boys and Girls! Lamancha Boys and Girls and a Cross between the two Mini Manchas Boys and Girls!!
There is no charge to be on our goat buyer list. If you are not on our list for this season and would like to be please email us at:
Kids are able to go to their new homes if they are doing well on bottle and are at least 4 weeks of age. At this age they can switch to twice a day bottles and can be put on warm whole cow’s milk from the store. We recommend Pritchard red teats as this is what the kids are trained on. We like the kids to stay on bottle for at least 10 to 12 weeks (to allow adequate time for their rumens to develop).
Very experienced goat owners can talk to us about taking kids younger than 4 weeks of age.
If you are looking for pack goats or keeping kids' horns we will need confirmation early on, as all other kids will be disbudded (horns removed at an early age).
All our kids are raised on their dams for at least a week, then switched to bottle and raised in a pen with like-age kids. They are exposed to hay immediately and they have access to clean water. We want our dams to have an opportunity to be moms and teach their kids, and we want the kids to be friendly towards humans. This combination of dam and bottle raising seems to allow both of these things to happen.
We do preventative management and treatment for coccidia, a parasite (kids are at risk of this from mainly 3 weeks to 4 months of age until they develop some resistance to it). We typically do not do any other worming treatment before they leave our farm, as we have found they usually don’t need it at this young an age, and we don’t want to develop parasite resistance. Our kids are immunized with CDT vaccine at 4, 8, and 12 weeks of age (their dams receive a CDT shot about 14 days before they kid to transfer that immunity to kids).
Males are not castrated until at least 12 weeks of age, and you can have them castrated later than this to allow their urinary system to grow even more and decrease the risk of urinary stones (which can kill them). We will give you a pamphlet about feeding your goats and it is very important that you do not feed grain or treats to boys without having a good understanding of the calcium/phosphorus ratio that could put them at risk of urinary stones.
Upon goat pickup you will receive a starter bag of hay and loose Sweetlix Meatmaker minerals. At this time you will also be trained on hoof trimming.
