***Terms of Sale/Purchase Information***
If you are purchasing a goat from Blue Quill Dairy Goats, we will assume that you have read and agree to our terms of sale. A 50% non-refundable deposit will be required to hold any goat.
***NEW FOR 2024*** - In regards to ADGA's DNA requirement for bucklings born on or after 1/1/2024: Once a deposit has been placed on a buckling, we will send the DNA sample directly to UC Davis and then to ADGA and we will register the buckling. Please send an additional $50 with your deposit to cover the DNA and registration costs. This fee is non-refundable.
Breeding/Kidding: We do not require a deposit for reservations, however, we do not place kids on a first-come, first-served basis. Preference may be given to performance homes that show or participate in DHIR and/or LA. We reserve the right to retain any kid born. Once a kid from the reservation list is offered to you, you will have 48 hours to make a decision and send a 50% non-refundable deposit. If we do not hear from you/payment is not sent, we will contact the next person on the list.
For goat kids, a 50% non-refundable deposit is required to hold the kid until pick-up. Bucklings must be picked up by 8 weeks old and doelings must be picked up by 12 weeks old. Our kids are dam raised but they are handled daily so they are very friendly. If anything happens to a kid while in our care after a deposit has been received and before the kid is picked up, the deposit would be refunded to buyer in full. If a kid is not picked up according to the timeline above, board will be charged at a rate of $5/day and must be paid in full before the kid is allowed to leave. If buyer does not pick up a kid on an agreed upon date with seller, the kid will be listed for sale again, no money will be returned to buyer and our deal is considered complete. Kids must be paid for in full before they are allowed to leave our property. If the buyer backs out of the sale for any reason, any money received by seller is non-refundable. All kids that are not polled will be disbudded. All kids will come with an ADGA registration application unless otherwise noted.
For adult goats, once a deposit is received, the animal will be held for 2 weeks. After that time, the remaining balance will be due in full and the animal must be picked up or shipped by the end of the 2 week hold. The deposit can be paid via cash, Venmo or Zelle. The remaining balance must be paid in cash. Payment must be made in full before any animal leaves our property. If the buyer backs out of the sale for any reason, any money received by seller is non-refundable. If the goat is not paid in full and picked up by the end of the 2 week hold, our deal is considered complete and no money will be refunded to buyer and the animal will be listed for sale again. If the animal becomes ill or dies while in our care, any money will be refunded to the buyer.
We reserve the right to refuse any sale for any reason without explanation. If this happens, the buyer will be notified and any money received by seller will be refunded to buyer immediately.
All goats are guaranteed to be healthy when they leave our property. Once they leave our property, there are no guarantees regarding the health of the animal due to variables outside of our control. We welcome vet/health exams done at buyer's expense. If an animal is being transported, any health certificates or requirements are the buyer's expense. Any cost related to transportation is the responsibility of the buyer. We will not be held responsible for the animal once it leaves our property. Due to biosecurity, we offer driveway pickup ONLY. NO EXCEPTIONS.
If a doe is sold as "exposed/bred", there are NO guarantees that she is pregnant, just that she received normal service from the buck.
We test for CAE and Johne's and we have a clean tested herd. Thank you for considering a goat from Blue Quill Dairy Goats! (Updated on 3/17/24)
