Terms & Conditions
UPDATED: 04/18/2008

Our animals are priced according to quality, pedigree, breeding history and/or potential. All animals are accurately described and are guaranteed to be healthy and "as represented" at the time of the sale. We will gladly provide references if desired. We abide by ADGA Recommended Trade Practices for Members (ADGA Guidebook, Bylaws Article XIX).
********************
REGISTRATION PAPERS
Our Nigerians are dual registered with both ADGA & AGS. All young kids will be registered with ADGA and/or AGS by us, unless otherwise stated. The papers will then be forwarded to the buyer. We do allow buyers to name kids on occasion. If you wish to name your kid, please notify us of that ASAP. All kids will be tattooed prior to leaving our farm.
********************
DEPOSITS
A $50.00 non-refundable deposit will hold your kid or adult of choice for 30 days, so that shipping and/or pickup arrangements can be made.  After 30 days, a boarding fee of $2.50 per day will be added to the sale price. After 45 days, the animal will be placed back on our sales list..
*******************
SHIPPING / TRANSPORTATION CHARGES
We ship nationwide out of  Raleigh Durham International Airport (RDU). All shipping costs are the responsibility of the buyer, along with any costs for special health requirements. The cost of a standard Veterinary Certificate of Inspection is $50 (our cost), and will be issued with every animal sold. NO EXCEPTIONS. (Additional testing would be extra, with the purchaser paying the cost of receipted expenses).  Please take the time to check your state's animal importation requirements by going HERE. We must adhere to the requirements of each state. (Actual shipping or importation requirements will be the sole responsibility of the purchaser). 
Please note - RDU is a round trip drive of 220 miles for us and we add $75 to the shipping charges to cover our mileage and time off from work. I prefer not to ship adults by air. If you're looking for an adult animal, please plan to pick them up here at our farm or at one of the shows on our schedule.  If delivered to a show, there will be a transportation fee, normally $50, as well as the standard health certificate fee.
*******************
Our herd is certified free of TB (A37) and Brucellosis (C54), and we are enrolled in the voluntary Scrapie Eradication Program (NC1070016) Our herd is CAE FREE. Last whole herd test - June '07 (all negative, and the herd has tested all negative for 3 consecutive years now).  All of our animals (over 6 months of age), have been tested for CAE and Johnnes, and we have never had CL on our farm. ALL health related and/or reproductive information that we have on an animal will be passed along to the potential buyer.
*******************
GUARANTEES
We guarantee our goats to be reproductively sound, and free from disqualifying faults and/or genetic anomalies at time of sale. Because we cannot control environmental influences and/or conditions once said animal leaves our property, we cannot offer further guarantees.
We also cannot guarantee the show career of any goat. There are too many factors involved that we have no control over. Management alone can have a significant impact on an animal's show ring performance.
We feel that Nigerians are a true miniature dairy breed, and therefore we will guarantee the height of all of our does to remain within the ADGA and AGS maximum height standards of 22.5 inches. If any doe bred by us exceeds that height limit, we will replace it. (the original animal to return here). Transportation charges surrounding such  replacement will be the responsibility of the buyer, but there will be no additional charges. 
NOTE: Because of the way some judges are measuring bucks, and because we have witnessed Nigerian Dwarves being fed steroid laced feeds, we cannot guarantee the mature height of bucks. We will honestly represent the growth potential, based on past performance, of any breeding on our farm.
Please note that in the case of bottle feeding kids, we will have them checked by our vet no more than 24 hours before pick-up/shipping. We suggest you take the kid to your vet within 48 hours of purchase/delivery, and have your vet verify the health of said kid.  We cannot guarantee the health of bottle feeding kids for more than a reasonable period of time, usually 48 hours, after leaving our farm.
Despite our negative CAE herd status, all of our kids are raised on very strict CAE prevention, being fed pasteurized milk from our own CAE negative does, and having no exposure to positive animals. However, if you purchase a bottle feeding kid, since we have no control over exposure via milk or other means, we cannot guarantee the kid in that regard after it leaves our farm
*******************
Note: If you plan to use a third party to pick up the animal from our farm, or at a show, and deliver the animal to you, please be advised that our responsibility over the animal, and all guarantees, will end at the point when the goat leaves our possession. We have no control over what happens to an animal when in someone else's care, or what the animal may be exposed to during transportation.
*******************
A $50.00 discount will be given to any 4-H'er who is purchasing a goat for their own dairy goat project.  A letter from the county 4H extension agent stating their participation in a dairy goat project is required to be eligible for the discount.

We do accept PayPal, but please DO NOT send any money to us via PayPal without notifying us of your plans in advance. And please, if you do send money via PayPal, please add the 3% service charge.
