PRICES:
Prices shown
on the breed pages are prices for pre-ordered kids. these prices may
or may not go up on unreserved kids once they are born. Listed prices
include boarding up to 4 weeks of age while shipping or pickup arrangements
are being made. after 4 weeks of age a $1 a day board fee will be
added to the sale price of the kid. (PLEASE NOTE:
kids will not be ready to wean at 4 weeks of age and will need to continue
to be bottle fed for at least 4 more weeks, preferably longer)
We reserve the option to purchase 20 units of semen for the cost of
collection on all bucks we sell (kid or adult), if this is going to be a
problem, let us know so the price can be refactored. thanks.
DEPOSITS:
A $100
Deposit is required to reserve a unborn kid This deposit is refundable ONLY
if the kid reserved is not born. It is not refundable because of
change of mind or change of plan. Full payment of the kid must
be received within 14 days of notification of birth or the kid will be
reoffered for sale and the deposit will not be returned. All
costs associated with the purchase of the kid must be received before the
animal leaves our farm.
I will not
decide to retain a reserved animal in my herd. I do not think it is
fair to the person who took the initiative to reserve and then wait for a
kid to be born only to be told "we're keeping it". The only time I
will go against a deposit is if a kid is born with a structural or health
problem and then the purchaser will be immediately notified.
A Deposit of
50% of the purchase price of a already born kid or adult offered for sale
will hold said animal until the agreed upon pickup time. All Costs
associated with the purchase of said animals including any shipping or
health requirements are the responsibility of the purchaser and must be paid
in full before the animal leaves the farm. Deposits are nonrefundable
for any reason.
PAYMENTS:
We accept
Cash, Checks or Postal money order for deposits or entire payment.
Personal checks are only accepted if sent with sufficient time for them to
clear the bank before animal pickup. We do have a paypal
account but there would be a additional 3% charge to use this option to pay
the Paypal fees.
******************************************
Shipping:
We ship out
of the Salt Lake International Airport (SLC). All shipping costs are
the responsibility of the purchaser these are including but not limited to:
any vet
requirements; health certificates or any other additional testing requested
or needed for importation, airfare, kennel cost etc
Currently a
standard interstate health certificate has been running us $25. Any
tests needed are additional.
The Salt
Lake Airport is a 300 mile round trip for us, because of the current state
of fuel prices we regret to have to start charging $50 per trip to help
offset the price of fuel, our time to go will still as always be free.
******************************************
Health:
Our whole
herd of animals are annually blood tested for CAE (WSU) and Biennially for
CL. We have not officially started the voluntary scrapie program but
hope to have the vet come out in the next short while to begin.
12/2006 blood
is sent, results pending
12/2006 CAE
results- whole herd negative
12/2005 CAE
and CL results- whole herd negative
Replacement of Animals:
We will only
consider replacing a animal that has been found to have a genetic inability
to breed. The request must be accompanied by a full medical workup
stating the medical findings by a qualified and practicing veterinarian that
the problem is of a genetic and not management origin. All costs
associated with the return are the responsibility of the purchaser.
We cannot
guarantee the health of a animal once it goes into the care and management
practices of another person or farm. We also cannot guarantee a animal
will mature into a fabulous show animal or a stupendous milker. There
are to many variables both in genetics and in management.
