SALES POLICIES
Thank you for considering a goat from Sugar Top Farm. We strive to provide quality animals with strong constitution and stellar health. We work hard to ensure that these animals are given the best quality of life while they are with us, and work with our customers to ensure that they provide the same. (updated 01/17/2025)
- We reserve the right to retain any goat kid.
- We maintain a waiting list for our goat kids. Customers are contacted when goat kids are born in the order in which they were placed on the list and offered right of first refusal in that same order. A monetary deposit puts you at the top of the list. To assist us with matching the right kid to the right family, please be sure to let us know your preferences (gender, color, breed, registration) when you send an email with interest.
- Goat kids are sold on a first come, first monetary deposit basis. A deposit of 50% of the purchase price will hold the animal until pick up date. Deposits are non-refundable unless animal becomes ill or dies.
- Pick up must be arranged at time of deposit for a mutually agreed upon date. Any animals not picked up by that date will be placed back up for sale and deposit will be forfeited.
- We will not sell a newborn, as we feel that they get the best start in life when they receive colostrum from their dams. We offer two scenarios to buyers: 1.) You may either pick up at two weeks old and continue to bottle feed until weaning, OR 2.) We will dam raise the kids for you for an additional $50 fee per month. This ensures the absolute best for the offspring. It allows them to be socialized by us humans, but also develop herd socialization and learn normal goat behaviors. It also allows them to build immunity. They will learn to be leash led, trained to electric netting fence, learn about off leash herd following (especially useful for pasture rotation and browsing walks), hoof trimming, and much more.
- Our goat kids are disbudded. If you want horns intact, you must make arrangements with a non-refundable deposit for the entire purchase price prior to birth.
- If you are interested in a buckling for breeding purposes, please contact us. We will only sell top quality intact bucklings who meet conformation requirements for breed standard and registry. We do not sell wethers.
- We sell goat kids in pairs or to approved farms who already have livestock. We do not generally sell single kids.
- We do not ship our animals. They must be picked up at the farm by the buyer.
- We reserve the right to refuse sale to anyone for any reason.
- Health certificates and any additional disease testing are available at the expense of the buyer.
- Purchase price includes continued mentoring from Sugar Top Farm, LLC as desired by buyer.
- Keep in mind, we will not be the cheapest or the most expensive. We won't haggle with purchase prices. If someone sees our animals and feels that they are worth the investment, then we know it's a home/farm we want our animals going to. We will entertain trades occasionally (i.e. honey, organic syrup, organic hay, etc.), so feel free to ask.
