Nigerian Dwarf Kidding Schedule GENERAL SALES INFORMATION: At Timberwood Farm, all of our Nigerian Dwarf breeding stock is AGS (American Goat Society) registered and they are also eligible for NDGA (Nigerian Dwarf Goat Association) registration. While there is no registration available for our Cashmere Goats, we are members of the Eastern Cashmere Association and we strive to produce conformationally sound, healthy goats with excellent fiber characteristics. We test annually for CAE, Brucellosis, TB, CL and Johnes. To date, our test results have been negative and we have never had a contagious abscess in our herd. Our last testing date was December 2007. Although we do breed for milk production as well as conformation, our kids are dam fed until they are weaned at 8-10 weeks of age. Keeping the kids with their dams helps them to learn acceptable herd behavior, provides us with an opportunity to determine which does are good mothers, and generally ensures happy and healthy goats. All kids are handled daily and provided with lots of love and attention to ensure friendly, happy kids. Believing that having someone available to answer questions and provide support helps ensure the continued well being of our goats, we are always available to buyers to answer questions, provide information, and assist in whatever way we can. Since the health of our goats is our primary concern, we reserve the right to refuse the sale of a goat to anyone who cannot provide the following basic requirements:
PRICING: Prices for our registered breeding quality animals usually range from about $300 to $500. All registrable goats will be tattooed. Since we want to keep our herd to a manageable size, any bucklings that are not being retained, or have not been reserved, by the time they are two months old will be neutered and sold as pet wethers (neutered bucks). Given that both the Nigerian Dwarfs and Cashmere goats often have multiple births, there is a good chance that we will have some pet wethers available each year. Pet wethers are $100. Depending on availability, a pet wether may be offered at no charge as a companion animal with the purchase of a registered doe or buck. Discounts will also be given children participating in 4H.. RESERVATIONS: If you would like to reserve a kid from a particular breeding, please let us know and you will be notified as soon as the kids are born. We don't require a deposit at the time of reservation, but once the reserved kid has been born and the buyer has decided to go ahead with the purchase, then we will ask for half the purchase price as a deposit until pick-up or shipping arrangements can be made. The balance will be due prior to shipping or at the time of pick-up. |
