Acorn-Sky Dairy Goats

• Every year we start taking deposits during breeding season for kids to be born the following Spring. If you are interested in purchasing one of our goat kids, please contact us early! Pre-kidding deposits are $100 towards the kid's price, with the rest due at time of pick up. Reservations are not official until a deposit has been received. Deposits are NOT refundable unless the kid you reserve wasn't born or is unavailable for purchase. No deposits will be refunded based on color or polled preference! Our breeds are not color restricted. If you would like specifically colored or specifically polled kids, I would not recommend placing a deposit. If your kid reservation preference (gender/breeding) isn't born or is not available, we would be more than happy to move your deposit to another breeding, available kid, or roll your deposit over to the next year's breeding reservations. If you choose not to move your deposit, we will refund it to you in a timely manner. 

• We have the right to retain any kids born here for our own herd improvement.

• We will not sell just any buckling intact nor do we hang on to extra intact bucklings we wouldn’t be willing to use in the fall for more than a few weeks. If you would like a buckling, I would highly recommend reserving before they are 4 weeks old. If you would like a buckling from a dam that says "Wethers Only" on the breeding schedule, please message us to discuss your herd goals and what you are looking for. 

• We have the right to decline sale to anyone without explanation at any point in time. If there is a deposit down on a kid(s) and we change our mind about selling, the deposit(s) will be refunded. 

• Due dates are given to the best of our knowledge, but are not exact kidding dates.

• Every kid born here is bottle raised from day one. Because we bottle raise, kids with deposits holding them need to be picked up by 4 weeks old to help lighten our work load unless previous arrangements have been made. Additional time is subject to daily boarding fees. Deposits will be forfeited after failure to pick up kids by 6 weeks old unless previous arrangements were made. At that point, the kid will be posted back for sale on our website and Facebook page. Communication is key as we try to work with people figuring out transport. We are happy to transport kids ourselves on any trip we have planned, just ask and we’ll see what we can work out!

• All goat kids will be given adequate colostrum at the time of birth to ensure the best start possible. Our does have all been vaccinated with a CDT vaccine between 4-8 weeks prior to kidding so they are able to build antibodies for their kids in their colostrum. Our herd has a history of being CAE, CL, and Johnes negative annually. We only CAE test annually now, but would be happy to disease test age appropriate animals at the buyer’s expense. Every kid is fed pooled raw milk from our herd. Once they leave our farm, we do not have control over what they are exposed to. We encourage you to continue good herd health management practices and test annually.

• All kids will be disbudded (unless naturally polled). If you would like horns, the kid must be paid for in full before 2 weeks old. CDT shots are given to kids at the time of disbudding. They are likely to leave a lump under the skin at the injection site.  We try to always give the injection under the front left leg so the lump isn't noticeable if the kid is shown.

• If there is not a deposit holding a goat kid at birth, they will be posted for sale as first come first served on our website and Facebook page. We do not hold animals without a deposit. We reserve the right to change the price as we see fit if kids not held by a deposit. Deposits that were not made prior to birth are 50% of the total purchase price. 

• Starting January 1, 2024 all buck kids to be registered are required to have DNA on file with ADGA in order to register future progeny.  We will have all buck kids DNA'd for the new owner's convenience after the kid is paid for in full and registered by the new owner. The cost of DNA typing will be included in the purchase price of the buck kid. If the new owner fails to send in registration paperwork by January 1st of the following year, the DNA cost responsibility becomes that of the buyer.  If you would like us to request Alpha-S1 Casein typing at the same time, we will do that with an additional fee.

• We only sell animals that are healthy to the best of our knowledge! We do everything we can to maintain healthy animals on our farm.  Be aware that it is very stressful on kids to switch environment, routine, and food.  We will always recommend to keep with the same routine and diet they are used to. We'll give recommendations on feed so you can switch them over gradually to your program. With this said, be well prepared to take care of your newly purchased babies and any stress related health issues that can arise. Coccidia prevention is used when raising our goat kids. It is important that you continue coccidia prevention after you take your new kids home. THIS IS SUPER IMPORTANT! The stress of environment, diet, and routine change can cause a bloom in coccidia and can wreck havoc on your new babies.

• We do not allow any farm visits due to privacy, liability, and herd health.  Please respect this and if you have any questions about our animals feel free to ask.  Also feel free to ask for our veterinarian's phone number for reference.  We post lots of information and pictures on our Facebook page and this website to maintain as much transparency as possible. Feel free to message us about more pictures or specific info you are looking for about our animals. We keep files of pictures for every animal. Not all of the pictures are on this website to keep it decluttered.
