Unborn kids can be reserved with a $50 deposit, and reservations  will be taken on a first-deposit, first-reserve basis only- no reservations will be taken with out a deposit. This deposit is non-refundable unless the kid of your choice is not born, at which time you can choose to roll over your deposit to another kidding, or have your deposit refunded. For the time being, I am planning on keeping the first doe kid out of each breeding, so please keep that in mind when making your reservation.  Buck kids out of first fresheners will automatically be wethered (neutered) and available as pets for $125.  Wethers make wonderful pets as they don't have the hormonal cycles of does, nor the pungent smell of bucks, and they can be shown in 4-H and at NDGA shows. 

Reserved kids must be picked up by 21 days of age.  Boarding charges will be applied to those still at the farm after 21 days of age; reservations on bottle raised wethers may be forfeited at this time at my discretion, and the kid(s) offered for sale.  Reserved kids still at the farm at two months of age will no longer be considered reserved and will be offered for sale as well.  All kids must be paid for in full before they leave the farm, and all transportation costs are the responsibility of the purchaser. We will happily bring purchased animals to shows we are attending at no extra charge.

> Not every combination turns out the way we plan- i.e. the combination of two fabulous animals can sometimes still result in a pet-quality animal. If this happens, the price for such an animal will be adjusted accordingly. Bucks and does will be priced the same, as we will only sell bucks from top quality mothers- if I wouldn't use a particular buck in my own breeding program, he won't stay a buck. I feel that there are already way too many bucks out there from only so-so does (or first fresheners, and you just can't tell too much about how a first freshener's udder is going to hold up over time), and part of being a breeder is working to improve the breed. A buck can be the parent of more kids in one breeding season than any given doe will be over her lifetime, which is why your bucks should always be of better quality than your does. Probably only the top 10% of does are worthy of keeping a buck kid out of, and we've made the decision to wether the vast majority of our bucklings.

 Sometimes I do change my mind about future breedings listed here, but will only do so if there are no deposits on kids already.
