Sales Policy

Thank you for your interest in purchasing one of our Nigerian Dwarf goats.

We will have new kids available every year spring.

If you are interested in purchasing a kid from us, you can contact us and give us your first choice of doe/buck pairings for the kid/s you want. We will then put you on our free waiting list and you will be notified when that kid(s) becomes available (born).

* I don't require a deposit to be put on our waiting lists. If the kid(s) are born already you are then required to put a deposit to hold that kid(s) until they are weaned. We do dam raise most of our kids. We do not let our kids go to their new homes before they are weaned, at least 8 weeks of age, if dam raised.

* All Deposits received to hold a goat(s) are NON-REFUNDABLE. 

~Doe kids and intact buck kids the deposit to hold is $200.00 until 8 weeks old. At 8 weeks the total purchase price needs to be paid in full.

~Wethers deposit to hold $50 until 8 weeks old. After the age of 8 weeks full payment needs to be received.  A boarding fee of $6.00 a day will incur if you want me to hold an animal past the age of weaning (8 weeks for buck kids & 10 Weeks for doe kids)

 ~Mature Doe or Buck requires a minimum of $400.00 to reserve and they must be picked up within agreed time frame of agreement (Not to exceed 30 days).  A boarding fee of $8.00 per day will incur if you want me to hold an animal(s) past the agreed pick-up date of an adult animal. 

*Cancellations & Transfers While holding a goat (s).  Sales are final, but I allow TRANSFERRES ONLY WITHIN 30 DAYS. Deposits received for animal(s) can be transferred to another animal within 30 days ONLY, No Deposit Refunds will be given after 30 days. Buyer will forfeit their deposit if another goat is Not chosen. This includes cancel of sale for Any reasons.  *Please note if animal becomes no longer available while in my care: I will issue a Full refund. Example: goat dies/ or severely injured. This has never happened, but good to have it noted. If the purchase was for a kid reservation, Buyer can also choose to roll over (the purchase price) to another goat kid for the following breeding season. Must be same or more value than the Goat first purchased. 

 * Current HERD Reduction: ALL SALES ARE FINAL, once the animal leaves my property. I’m hoping for quick pick- ups as I’m trying to move most the herd quickly. Maximum Hold time will be 30 days. I require 1/2 Deposit of full purchase price to hold all animals during our Current Herd Dispersal $400 of the deposit for an adult goat and $200 deposit for a kid goat will be Non-Refundable if buyers cancel sale for any reason within 30 days. This applies to animals being held-waiting for transport to pick up or new owners to pick up.  The total amount paid will still be transferable to another goat within 30 days only. If goat is not picked up by the required 30 days hold the buyer will be charged a boarding fee of  ($ 8.00 a day) plus any additional fees that may incur to provide adequate care for your animal while in my care. Example: Veterinary care, injury, sickness, or birth of kids (prenatal/ after birthing care). Cancelation of sale after 30 days, will result in No monies refunded, but monies can be transferred to another animal. Cancelation of sale after 60 days results in losing ALL your monies for that animal. No refunds or transfers will be given. Also, Failure to pick up an animal that has been paid in full for, after 60 days, will result in losing All Monies paid for that animal. Money will no longer be transferable to another animal. In this economy feed/ care is very expensive and the monies go back into the care, feed, and vet bills for that animal while in my care. 

* Purchase of Breed Does. All Breed does must be paid for in full. No Exceptions! Sale of bred does are FINAL!  Exact terms will be based off agreement made at time of purchase between Buyer and myself. Bred does must be picked up within 1-30 days based on her due date. I have ship does safely up until the last 2 weeks of gestation. Buyers will assume all responsibility/ health risk of doe once transporter picks up said bred doe from me. No Refunds will be given if you are not happy with doe's kids or sex of kids after they are born on your farm / my farm. We do our best on kid count numbers via ultrasound, but they are still an estimate and not 100% correct. Some does can adsorb a kid during gestation. I will not refund on DOA kids once the doe freshens. A lot of variables can happen to result in this outcome, Example doe rammed by another goat on your farm, or dystocia. Once the doe leaves my farm and is at her new home buyer assumes all responsibility and acknowledges all risks. 

*If said doe is to remain here to freshen buyer assumes all responsibilities for vet care for herself and her kids, if needed. I charge a kidding out fee $ (to deliver kids) price will be based on number of kids and complications that may arise. Doe and kids must be picked up within 7 days after doe freshens. If I am to disbud kids, I charge $25.00 per kid to disbud. I use a gas dis-budder.  If not picked up by 7 days old a $12 a day boarding fee will incur (for doe & kids combined). Buyer assumes all responsibility for DOA kids which isn't in my control. Sometimes things happen during kidding that are out of anyone's hands. I will be fair and adjust pricing or offer another animal in some cases if kids are lost on my account. Example: Kid gets stuck in fence and is injured, or death occurs on my account. Buying a breed doe is a risk and kid count numbers on ultrasound are only estimates and not 100% accurate. If holding does until kidding full payment for doe will be required as it is a lot more work on my part. If I'm to retain a kid from the breeding, I may decide to wave the boarding fees of $12 a day. Other fees such as kidding out fee (delivering kids), vet care, kid care, supplements, electrolytes, antibiotics during or after kidding, and kid disbudding will still be charged to the buyers of said doe.

* I DO NOT SHIP or DELIVER.  Buyer assumes ALL RESPONSIBILITY for picking up their new goat(s) or arranging their own shipping, at their expense. Buyers assume all risks if shipping goat(s). I will help assist with buyers shipping of a goat (meet transporter to pick up the goat for shipment.) I'm no longer responsible for the care or health of a goat once it leaves my farm (picked up by transporter.)

Reserved Kids: Once kid(s) are weaned and/or at least 8 weeks old they must be picked up within 5 days. Failure to pick up kid or notify me of certain situations that may arise, it will result in forfeit of that kid. That kid will then be offered to the next person on the waiting list.

* I DIS-BUD ALL goat kids here at Elite Safehaven Hills. If purchasing a kid via wait list and the kid is unborn and you wish to not have it dis-budded, then please let me know ahead of time so an arrangement can be made. Please note that a non-disbudded kid cannot be shown. If requested to not have the kid dis-budded will result in a FINAL SALE & payment in Full at time of purchase. I use the inline gas disbudder on my kids. All buck kids receive a double figure 8 burn to reduce possible scurs. 

* All goats are registered with ADGA The American Dairy Goat Association. The kid will come with ADGA certificate or ADGA Registration papers with transfer section filled out.

(if papers are in hand) Mature/ Adult goats will come with ADGA papers with the transfer section filled out. I recommend doing online transfers through the ADGA website for faster service. Buyer is responsible for paying all transfer fees.

* Prices of kid(s) may change once they are born based on conformation and quality. The price may increase or decrease. I offer a small discount for returning customers or multi goat purchases. * Performance herds will take priority.

* Reserving an unborn kid(s) gives you an option only after any retained kids by Elite Safehaven Hills, with any of our planned breeding's. We Reserve the right to retain any of our kid(s) at any time.

* We Confirm pregnancy via Ultrasound on our does. Any tentative breeding plans may change at any time based on our circumstances until doe is confirmed breed via ultrasound.

* Elite Safehaven Hills has the right to refuse a sale to anyone at any time.

* Goats are HERD ANIMALS and must be purchased in pairs. Unless you already own existing goats.

* Our does receive their booster CDT vaccines 4 weeks before kidding to insure kid(s) immunity.  Kids will receive a booster CDT at 8 weeks of age. Kid(s) will also receive coccidia prevention starting at 3-4 weeks old and should continue until 6 months old.

* Health of any goat(s) sold from Elite Safehaven Hills are only guaranteed while in our care. Once a goat leaves our property it is the buyers responsibility. If a goat becomes unavailable while in our care and a deposit was received, then the buyer has an option to put that deposit towards another kid, use deposit for next spring's reservations, or request refund of deposit.

* We do not guarantee any FAULTS such as an animal going over height as an adult or any other conformation faults, show quality of the animal, future milk production, or conception issues, or mineral deficiencies of ANY goat(s) produced from our herd. We cannot guarantee fault issues in kids. We do not breed solely based on coat or eye colors. I only offer full refund/ replacement on animals with a Genetic DQ issue such as being a "Freemartin"
