Thank you for your interest in purchasing from Heartfelt Hollow Farm!!

 

**Preference to ADGA Plus members, herds that show,

Kid Sales/Reservations:

Kids ready to leave at 1-2 weeks on the bottle and will need bottle-fed until a minimum of 12-16 weeks of age. We recommend them staying on milk until 6 months.  We can raise your kid until weaning for an added fee, purchase price and fee must be paid for in full upfront. Prior to pickup we observe each kid and ensure that only the healthiest kids are sold.  If a kid does not meet our standards, we retain the right to refuse the sale. We will do our best to find a suitable replacement or return your deposit at our discretion. 

 

If buyers are unable to bottle feed we can make arrangements to board kids until 12 weeks of age, boarding fees will apply. This must be arranged in advance as we will have limited space for boarding kids.   Kid boarding fees include: milk, calf-pro (coccidia preventative), CDT vaccination, high quality feed, hay, hoof trimmings, etc.

 

All Sales:

$100 non-refundable deposit per animal to hold until pickup. Boarding fees will be applied to goats not picked up (or shipped) within 10 days, unless previous arrangement has been made. 

 

Boarding Fees for kids, yearlings, adults, etc: $25/week

 

Registered animals will be tattooed, microchipped, and sold with registration papers or registration application. All kids will be disbudded and vaccinated. DNA testing will be the responsibility of the buyer. If you prefer we can submit DNA testing before pickup, buyer covers cost.   

    

Cost of required blood tests, CVI, and shipping are the responsibility of the buyer. These costs will be determined at buyer's request and must be pre-paid.

 

We breed for correctness and to the breed standard but cannot make any guarantees as to how well an animal will develop, show, mature, or what improvements they will make in your herd after they leave our farm as a majority of this is directly influenced by herd maintenance, care, and diet. All animals are sold in full health, we are not responsible for any illness contracted once your animal leaves our farm. Your management is key to success. Any animal not properly managed and cared for will not perform well.

 

We keep a small herd, limiting the number of bucks that can stay and be used in our breeding program. We reserve the right to purchase 30 straws of semen from any bucks sold, we will pay for the cost of collection. This includes any buck kids and mature bucks purchased from us, whether they carry our herd name or another herd name.

 

All sales are final! Once an animal leaves our care/property we cannot take it back due to our strict biosecurity measures, unless we have a quarantine pen open. We take biosecurity VERY seriously. I have worked hard to make sure our herd remains disease free and in great health! Please quarantine ANY purchased animal before adding to your herd. Quarantine, testing, and cleanliness are the best preventative measures to keep a clean herd. 


Payment Information

For deposits I accept Cash, Venmo or PayPal via Friends and Family Option Only! Do not send payment unless I confirm that I am holding an animal or reservation for you. 

Please leave the 'Message' area of the payment blank, or write: "ADGA". 

Absolutely NO refunds will be given UNLESS I contact you informing your reservation/deposit was unable to be filled or something would happen on my end that the animal wouldn't be available. 

 

Why is our payment policy/method so strict?

-Because unfortunately I've been too trusting in the past and have been scammed several times over the years by buyers ordering (eggs, soap, chicks, etc.) then back charging via their CC company or PayPal. The effort/cost of filing with small claims to pursue these individuals was exhausting. 

 

This is a small family farm. I work all hours of the day and night, always 'on call' to keep our farm in good standing. I take pride in all of the work  that we've put into our flocks, herds, products. I'll be darned if I will let scammers or entitled individuals take advantage of me or my family.
