Goats

Reservations & Pricing

Reservations

We take reservations for kid goats with a $50 deposit for doelings/bucklings ($40 for wethers) made payable to Foggy River Farm. If you are reserving a dam-raised kid, the kid will go home at 2-3 months old disbudded, wormed (with a natural herbal wormer), vaccinated for CDT and castrated (if wether).

If you are reserving a bottle-raised kid, you will be responsible for the second CDT vaccination - and also for feeding the baby for the first two months of his or her life! We prefer to let the mamas raise the babies, as most breeders agree that they're more vigorous and healthy this way - but we'll consider bottle-raised babies on a case-by-case basis if you have a strong reason for wanting a bottle-raised kid.

A goat needs to have a companion to live a healthy life (they are highly social animals), so we only sell single kids if there is at least one other goat who will be joining them at their new home. Discounts are available for purchase of companion wethers.

Contact Lynda for more information.

Prices will be as follows:

Doelings: $300-$450. Price will depend on lineage and quality of kid born. Please see the kidding schedule for pricing on kids out of specific parents. If you're new to goats, this may sound expensive - but I have never paid less than $300 for any of my female Nigerian Dwarf Goats, and as a general rule of thumb I will price the kids according to the quality of their lineage, factoring in what I paid for the parent doe.

Wethers: $125. These neutered boys don't smell like intact bucks do. They will make great family pets and weed-whackers. As an added bonus, they can be shown in NDGA shows and make a very affordable option for 4-H and FFA students looking to hone their showmanship skills!

Bucklings: $400. We will not leave males intact out of first fresheners or goats who haven't proven themselves either in the pail or in the show ring; therefore, the only intact bucklings we would consider selling would be out of does who we have milked with good results and out of bucks who have a proven track record or excellent lineage.
