Sales Policy

Implied Consent: By placing a deposit or purchasing an animal from us, you have indicated acceptance to the following agreement and sales terms.

 

  • Our goats are guaranteed healthy at the time of transfer. Once an animal leaves our property, no guarantee is extended.
  • We do not guarantee an animal’s mature conformation, stature, udder attachment, show ability, quality of their offspring, etc. 
  • If we sell breeding stock that proves to be infertile (backed up with a Vet report for verification) we may feel an obligation to replace it with our choice of something comparable, depending on availability. We will require the infertile animal’s certificate of registration to be turned over to us for the replacement.
  • We reserve the right to retain any kid bred by our farm at any time, at our discretion.
  • Unborn kids can be reserved with no deposit. Once your reserved kid is born, you will be notified by email. You will have 24-hours to confirm or we will move on to the next reservation in line. If you confirm you will have 1-week to place a $100 non-refundable deposit. Deposits can be made via Zelle, PayPal or by check. All Paypal fees must be paid by the sender.
  • Reservation priority will be given to Show and Performance herds with a history of one or more years. 
  • We do not accept reservations based on a coat or eye color.
  • We disbud all horned kids. If you wish to purchase a goat with horns intact, we will require full payment at time of reservation.
  • If your reservation is rolled over from a prior year, the current year’s pricing will apply.
  • When purchasing an existing animal from our farm, a non-refundable deposit of $100 is required to hold the animal. If the animal is 8-weeks old or older, this deposit will hold the animal for pick-up for up to 1 week unless otherwise agreed. If the animal is less than 8-weeks old, your deposit will hold the animal until 8-weeks of age unless otherwise agreed. If the animal is not picked up within the specified timeframe, bording fees will apply at $5 p/day. If you do not remain in contact with us, your deposit will be forfeited and the animal will be re-sold.
  • No animal will leave our farm unless it has been paid for in full. Final payments must be done through Paypal or cash. Any fees accessed by Paypal or any other payment method are the sole responsibility of the payor. We will accept checks for reservations and deposits requiring a hold time of over 2-weeks.
  • Arrangements for transportation are the buyer’s responsibility. 
  • We only sell our goats to homes that already have goats, or plan on purchasing more than one.  Goats are herd animals and require other goats to be happy. If you are purchasing a wether as a companion to another animal purchased from us, the wether will be offered at half price.
  • We reserve the right to 30 straws of semen from any buck sold for the cost of collection and processing only.  You agree to work with us to have your buck collected and understand this may involve taking your buck to a local collection.
  • All of our goats are registered with the American Dairy Goat Association (ADGA).  We will register all doe and buck kids at our expense.  We will provide an ADGA Bill of Sale at time of purchase and we will take care of Registration & Transfer through ADGA electronically.  Registration in any other registry is the buyer’s responsibility.
  • Mesquite Valley Caprines reserves the right to refuse any sale at any time for any reason. If this should ever happen, your deposit or payment will be refunded. We will not refund any fees charged by third parties.
