A joyful heart is good medicine......
Here is our 2008 proposed breeding plans and 2009 Kidding Schedule. If you see a due date, the doe has already been bred. Until you see a Due Date, I can change my mind about breedings listed here. So if a particular pairing interests you, a deposit will ensure your breeding choice. Otherwise, please check back often for any possible changes!
We reserve the right to retain any kid for our breeding program once we have had time to watch each kid grow, however we will make every effort to satisfy reservations! Prices listed are for reserved kids only. Pricing on unreserved kids is subject to change, either up or down, after evaluation. We ask for a $100 deposit on doe kids and buck kids, and a $50 deposit on wethers. Deposits are non-refundable if the buyer cancels the sale. Adults require a 50% deposit on the asking price.
Kid prices are determined by pedigree, conformation, show records, kidding history, as well as LA scores, DHI records, AGS classification scores ~ which include that of the dam, sire, and other close relatives.
Because our herd is at the size we want, we won't be able to keep all animals listed as breeder reserved. Some may
be offered for sale once we further evaluate them and take stock of our herd size. We do this once all kids are weaned, and even older. If there is something of interest to you, please do let us know and we will make note of it. Additionally, we offer quality mature breeding stock and milking does for sale from time to time.
Once kids become available for sale and we notify you, you will have 5 days to place a 50% deposit for your kid(s) or adult via Cash, PayPal or Money Order. If we don't hear back from you within 5 (five) days time, the next family in line will be contacted, or the kid(s) will be placed on the website and offered for sale. All bucks will be wethered by approximately 8 weeks of age unless a reservation is made and the buck is paid for in full prior to 8 weeks of age.
****Discounts (5%) offered for 4-H participation or FFA (subject to verification) and for multiple purchases of registerable kids. Please be sure to read our Sales Policy before you Contact us to make reservations or to be put on our waiting list (if a Reservation is already Closed on a breeding of interest).
*****We also give $50 discounts to anyone who has our does on year-long milk test! All you need to do is send us proof of testing and a copy of your DHI test results. We also offer a $25 refund to anyone who puts a One Day Milk Star on our Joyful Hearts does, payable with a notice of pending *S. ***
Kidding starts in January 2009 and ends April 2009. Make your reservations early so you won't be disappointed! Most of our kids are sold before they hit the sales page. These breedings should make nice show prospects, milking does, breeding stock and/or pets. We usually give first priority to farms on milk test and those that do Linear Appraisals. Thank you to all of our 2008 buyers!!
