Terms and Conditions

Non Refundable Retainers

 We accept NON REFUNDABLE retainers of the animal(s) selected and decided upon by seller. No exception when kids are paid for in advanced (via retainer) and on the ground. Some leeway given for unborn kids. No exceptions for refunds on retainer for kids held with NO DISBUDS. 

Holds

The retainer guarantees the hold for that animal(s) to the buyer and seller will not market the animal(s) for other buyers during the hold time. The non refundable retainer covers board costs associated with animal during the hold period. 

  • The buyer has a maximum number of 10 days to pick up the goat after the retainer is put down. 
  • The rest of the amount is due upon pick up
  • Some exclusions apply specified by RCR

Conditions

 It is the responsibility of the buyer that the buyer coordinates a reasonable time of pickup with the seller. There are few exceptions to the maximum 10 day hold. 

  • Exceptions include: prior notice of buyer emergency  i.e. family emergency, prior notice that is accepted via recorded  sources, confirming the reason by the seller- not necessarily forfeiting the sale or return of the retainer. 
  • Exceptions also included: seller extends the 10 day hold due to disclosed or non disclosed reasons, emergencies of any kind. In this case that the seller must  extend the 10 day hold, the seller will contact the buyer and no penalty/retainer forfeiture will be ensued. If the seller does not hear from or have any further  advances from the buyer about completing the purchase of the goat, via  documented sources such as email or cellular text message, then the retainer of buyer is forfeited and animal is back up for sale. 

NON REFUNDABLE retainers are not returned under many circumstances including and not limited to: buyer backing out for any reason, buyer's lack of finances/resources/interest, buyer's change of heart or anything of the matter that would affect the board costs and loss (and potential sale/interest of animal(s) to other possible buyers) of sale of the animal(s) to the seller. Some exclusions apply- in case of unborn kids.

Refunds

Refunds on retainers are only given if something were to happen on seller's side (ex: spoken animals come down with illness or succumb to death during the given hold time). In this instance, the retainer can be applied to another animal of seller's interest.

If buyer puts a deposit down for several animals, the retainer will be redistributed upon the spoken animals and the full, original retainer will not necessarily be returned in full if total hold is canceled by buyer (buyer can redistribute the paid retainer to the purchase price of total other animals). 

Kids that are unborn with retainers have the ability for refund of retainers IF buyers inform RCR by at least 30 days before expected kid dates. Expected kid dates are posted in the breeding schedule. 

Right of Refusal

RCR, the Seller, has the right to refuse the sale of animals to any persons for any reasons. Seller has the right to deny or refuse persons from entering property at any time. 

Hold Fees

If Buyer extends past the 10 day hold, either 2 things can happen. Either the retainer is forfeited (risk of loss and board) (see above) or we charge $5/day per animal held. All fees due upon pick up.

There are some alternatives that may be discussed before monetary exchange via RCR to Buyer, such as bundling kids for pickup.

Hold Fees for Bottle Kids

Prices to hold kids until weaning depend on price of milk/board and time the kid is held.

Seller will discuss prices per week or day to hold.

Buyer must pay for the goat upfront.

If buyer cancels, the original terms and conditions apply and the buyer does not get their amount back- neither board costs.

If goat dies or injured while in our care, the purchase price of the goat is returned but the board costs (hold fees/milk fees) are not refunded.

Hold fee for 2022 season is $5/day until pickup on kids until delayed pickup or weaning 

All Sales are Final

 

  • All sales are final. We do not take back animals  or refund due to the bio-security measures that we take. Before buyers make any addition to their farm, buyers must contemplate the risks, costs, complications, efforts, and responsibilities of any new animal. 
  • All animals are sold with an outward appearance of being vibrant and healthy. If there are any problems, buyers have 24 hours to contact the buyer, all of other health matters need to be addressed immediately by your vet.

Payment

We only accept Cash, Paypal Venmo, and Check (7 days before pickup).

Goat sale Terms/Conditions

Bottle Fed Babies

 

  • Bottle fed babies will be handled by humans and started on bottle. To hold a kid, a non refundable retainer is must be given. Kids (with exceptions) will be disbudded, possibly tattooed (at buyers request), registered (if applicable) AND /OR comes with registration paperwork to be  completed (unless discussed).


  • It is the responsibility of  the new owners to understand the time/care/effort/commitment/risks of purchasing and raising bottle kids before non refundable retainer is given. Buyers  are responsible for ALL care at their own expense and methods chosen.


  • Kids on bottle do not get first CDT vaccine until 60 days old. Bottle kids had colostrum and fed whole cows milk (or goats milk) by the time they are ready for their new home. 


  • Coccidiosis : We recommend kids start coccidiosis prevention at 3 weeks (if not daily) and continue it until kid is 9 months old- dosing kids every 3 weeks.  We use  Calf Pro Medicated in bottle kid bottles with milk starting at 10 days old (and used daily) for the prevention of coccidiosis.


  • Deworming: Older kids on pasture and adult goats  should be dewormed accordingly when introduced to their new home (unless for immediate consumption). We recommend fecals ASAP after their arrival via your vet.


  • All animals are sold with an outward appearance of being vibrant and healthy. If there are any problems, buyers have 24 hours to contact the buyer, all of other health matters need to be addressed immediately by your vet.

Are bottle raised kids for you?

Raising Bottle Kids Pros & Cons:


Pros: 


  • Feed monitoring: You can control and make sure your kids are receiving adequate nutrition.
  • Docile temperament: 95/100 times, bottle kids will turn out to be loving and bonded to humans. 
  • Train-ability: We find bottle kids much easier to train than dam raised. We can work on leading and stanchion training while they are young and trusting to humans.
  • Experience: Some people love the experience of feeding bottle kids. It's also great for children to learn responsibility and goat husbandry.


Cons:


  • More human effort: Bottle kids take time to feed several times a day. You also should house them accordingly which can cost a little more as you should not just house a 2-week-old kid with unrelated adults. We suggest a baby pen/junior area until kids get old enough to be with their herd. 
  • Costs of milk: It depends on the type of milk you choose to raise the kids on. Replacers are not cheap. We prefer whole cow milk from the grocery store, however this can add up in costs. 
  • Demanding and spoiled kids: Kids that grow up as bottle fed tend to have a spoiled nature. They are demanding and often very vocal.
