NIGERIAN DWARF DAIRY GOATS

Thank you so much for considering purchasing Joyful Hearts Nigerian Dwarf dairy goats! We look forward to serving you. =)

Our Nigerian Dwarf does & bucks are normally priced from $350.00 to $600.00. Kid prices are determined by pedigree, conformation, show records, milking stars as well as LA scores and DHI records, kidding history and AGS classification scores ~ which include that of the dam, sire, and other close relatives. Wethers are $125.00. We give discounts on wethers if you need one as a companion when you purchase another doe from us. Though we dam raise our kids, if you'd like a bottle baby, please make your request known. We charge an additional $50.00 for the extra time & labor involved, per kid. We spend as much time as possible in the first week of life properly socializing all babies starting at birth so that our kids will have friendly dispositions.

DISCOUNTS

GOAT PURCHASES

If you would like to reserve a baby from our Kidding Schedule, please let us know and you will be notified as soon as babies become available. We require a $100 Non-Refundable deposit for buck kids or doe kids, and a $50 non-refundable deposit for wether reservations. Deposits are non-refundable if the buyer cancels the sale.

We would like our prospective goat family to visit our farm to see the available kid(s) or view photos before making a final decision once the kids become available. Once a commitment is made to buy an animal, we ask for half the purchase price as a non-refundable deposit, payable within 5 business days. The kid(s) will be held until weaned or for up to 30 days while payments and shipping arrangements (if applicable) are worked out, with shipping costs, (ie. health certificate, testing), the responsibility of out of state buyers. The full purchase price must be paid, and purchased animal picked up from our farm within 30 days (unless other arrangements have been agreed upon by seller) or we will consider the sales contract cancelled and make the goat available to other buyers. If other arrangements have been made to board your animal longer, and we have the means to do so at that time, then a $3/per day boarding fee will be added to your bill.

Due to issues surrounding disease, we cannot accept an animal back once it has left our herd as we must maintain our biosecurity status. Thank you for your understanding.

No animal will leave our possession until the full terms of the contract have been met. We reserve the right to refuse a sale for any reason at any time on any animal. This can be done up until the time the Bill of Sale/Transfer is signed. If we are uncomfortable with a sale then all funds paid will be refunded.

Breeder reserves the right to retain any kids born. If we choose to retain a reserved animal your payment will be refunded to you, or can be applied towards a different animal, or future breeding~buyers choice.

BRED DOES

If a doe is bred on our farm before being sold her kids will carry the Joyful Hearts herd name. When a doe is sold as being *exposed to a buck* (hand bred) we offer no further guarantee as to the does successful gestation or successful kidding once doe leaves our farm. If pregnancy has already been confirmed by an ultrasound, that will be clearly stated in the Sales Agreement. Breeder reserves the right to issue a "Doe-Only" service memo at our discretion on any bred animal sold.

HEALTH GUARANTEE

We are not responsible for any stress related illnesses during shipment or after. You trust us to provide/ship you with a healthy baby and we trust that you will care for him/her properly at your facility and seek immediate medical care if it should show any signs of shipping stress. We suggest you do your research and have everything prepared ahead of time for your new goat(s) to make the transition as smooth as possible.

All does and bucks 1 yr. of age and over have tested Neg. for CAE & CL (WADDL). Additionally, some of our adult stock have been tested for Johnes, Tb, and Brucellosis ~ all Negative. If you desire any additional testing, or need a health certificate for traveling purposes, the cost is the responsibility of the buyer. Animals under 6 months of age do not require any testing to cross state lines. To find out what your state requires visit USDA APHIS Veterinary Services web site.

SHIPPING

All animals sold out of state will be accompanied by a CVI (Certificate of Veterinary Inspection) issued by our vet. Fees for a CVI at the time of this writing are $45.00. We will ship your kid(s) from Ontario Airport, California to anywhere in the USA. We prefer to ship animals under 6 months of age, with ground transport on older animals, but are willing to work with you. Due to the high gas prices and the distance of our drive we charge a $50 fee to cover our gas and travel time. It is the buyers responsibility to provide an airline approved shipping crate and have it shipped to us or we may be able to loan one out with a deposit. We will let you know what size you will need. Two babies can fly together in the same crate (just weaned or bottle babies) for the same shipping costs as long as the combined weight (kids and crate) are under 70 lbs. Save $$ and reserve two babies! We will try to help with local transportation if needed within a reasonable distance for a gas and meal donation if a long trip.

***For your convenience we also accept instant cash transfers via PayPal as well as all major credit cards through PayPal. Please note: We do not accept personal checks or eChecks. No exceptions please! Cash, Postal Money Orders or PayPal. We will let you know how to send payment via PayPal at time of reservation. You will be required to pay an additional 3% handling fee when paying via PayPal.
