Goats

Reservations & Pricing

Reservations

We will 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.

Contact Lynda for more information.

Prices will be as follows:

Doelings: $300-$450. Price will depend on lineage and quality of kid born. 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 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, for 2010, the only intact buckling we would possibly sell would be out of Emily. (She has two of three finished legs for her permanent champion status, but hasn't finished because of an elbow injury that causes her to walk funny, a detriment in the show ring. She has won 5 Best Udder Awards, has great attachments, capacity, and MSL. Many thanks to Gene for letting her come to our farm!)
