For Sale/ Sales Policy

---

Sales Policy - **PLEASE READ**

It’s so exciting to find that perfect new addition to add to your herd or  start a herd.  When you choose our goats we require a non-refundable deposit of $100 via cash, Venmo, or Cashapp unless the animal dies or suffers permanent injury before it has left our farm.   This will ensure we will hold that animal for you until the time of pick up.   Remainder of the payment will be due upon pick up via CASH, VENMO, or CASHAPP.   When pickup date has been decided between the buyer and seller and the buyer does not abide by the pick up time and does not come to pick up the animal  we will give a 24 hour time frame  to be able to reschedule. If we the sellers do not hear from the buyer within that time frame they will be denying the sales policy and forfeiting the right to buy the animal.  The animal will be listed for sale again. 

These little ones will receive the best care here at our farm.  All kids are pulled at birth and are bottle raised on pasteurized milk to take all preventative measures against CAE even though we strictly maintain a negative herd.  All kids will have their C D&T vaccines, cocci preventative and health checked by our vet before they leave our farm.   Because shipping is stressful and we cannot control that stress or the care of the animal(s) receives once it leaves our farm, we cannot offer any further guarantees related to the health of the animal.   Illness and death can occur when not properly handled and treated. We will not be responsible for any death, stress or illness of any animal once it has left our farm.  We are not under obligation to take any animal back once it has left our property. 

****Pet-Quality Goat Registration Policy*****  MUST READ!! 

Any kid or adult goat sold as pet quality will be sold WITHOUT registration papers and WILL NOT be registered at a later date under any circumstances. The only exception is when we, as the breeder, determine that the animal meets our standards for registration quality in such case the buyer/current owner is responsible in paying full registration price of the animal plus registration fees. This decision remains solely at our discretion.

Please come prepared with proper transportation! Goats especially kids do not do well in windy conditions.  If you have an open dog crate in the back of your truck please bring materials to cover the crate when you pick up your goat to reduce the wind. We are NOT responsible for any types or signs of sickness and illness when you leave our property.  We reserve the right to refuse any animal if proper transportation needs are not met. 

When kids are sold while still on the bottle the  buyer understands that ALL responsibilities of properly caring for their newly acquired kids falls on them. If something happens to the kids in the buyer’s care (or in a transporter's care),  Flourishing Tree Farms will not be held responsible in any way. 

The only guarantee given for kids being sold on bottles is that they are accustomed to taking a bottle.  

The only guarantee given for kids being sold weaned is they are accustomed to eating hay (Alfalfa, peanut hay, orchard grass, or Bermuda are offered here at the farm), grain, (Kalmbach Start Right Young Goat), water and loose minerals.  

We maintain a clean herd. Our entire herd is tested annually for CAE, Johnes  and CL this was done  March 2026 by our vet.  Any new animal that comes onto the farm goes into quarantine until that animal has been tested negative and is cleared of any health issues.   

Goats are herd animals and will require a “buddy” in order to be happy and healthy.  We at Flourishing Tree Farms will not sell a single goat if there is not another goat at its new home. 

All of our kids will be sold with ADGA registration papers.  We reserve the right to sell a buck kid(s) as pets to be wethered therefore  we will retain registration papers.  All registered stock will be free from disqualifying  faults.  

Flourishing Tree Farms reserves the right to retain any kid born on our farm for our herd.   We reserve the right NOT to do business or refuse a kid with any one for any reason.   We can not guarantee the show career, milk production or mature height of any animal.  

Once a goat is considered and agreed upon a copy of this sales policy and a bill of sale will require a signature from the buyers before leaving the farm.   All of our kids are sold with current health records.  

Thank you for considering Flourishing Trees Farms for your next dairy goat!!
