Policies

We reserve the right to retain any kid born on our farm. We reserve the right to refuse any sale for any reason and refund any deposits paid. Reservation list is free, but 50% retainer is required to hold your reserved kid once it has been born and offered to you. You must accept and pay the retainer within 48 hours or we will move on to the next reservation. You will be responsible for arranging any necessary transportation and paying for any necessary health papers, crates, etc. required for travel. We may be able to meet you within a hundred mile radius of the farm for the cost of gas depending on our schedule. Bottle babies can be picked up at 3 weeks of age. You may bring your wether back for castration at 12 weeks of age or make your own arrangements with your vet.

Your retainer is not refundable after accepting a kid offered to you, unless your reserved kid becomes unable to go home with you for health reasons. You are responsible for any necessary health certificate costs, ADGA transfers, and the costs and risks associated with transporting the kid from our farm to yours. We are not responsible for the health of any animal once it leaves our farm. We highly recommend you have a vet familiar with treating goats before you bring your kid home.

Kids and adults need to be picked up within 3 weeks of paying retainer. Boarding costs after that time will be $3/day. All goats must be paid for in full including any boarding, health certificate, transport fees no later than the day of pick up by new owner or transporter. We will only board and animal for up to 10 days.

All dams receive cdt vaccines prior to kidding. You are responsible for vaccinating your kid at the appropriate ages. All kids will receive coccidiosis prevention starting at 3 weeks of age. All kids will be disbudded unless naturally polled.

We do NOT recommend using lamb or kid replacer for bottle babies. Goat milk is most preferred, but if not available, we recommend whole cow's milk from the store. Milk must be warmed before feeding (approximately 100 F).

Goats need a goat friend. Single kids will only be sold to those who already have other goats. There will likely be wethers available if you need a friend for your new registered goat.

Sometimes, does in milk may be available if we need to make space. They will be listed on our Facebook page when available. If you are looking for a doe in milk or an adult buck, please contact us at risinglightranch@gmail.com.

Bucks start at $350, Does start at $450, Wethers $50, Does in milk may be available at various times. Listed prices are honored for kids reserved prior to birth. Prices are subject to change for unreserved kids after they are born and assessed. All registered kids will be registered with ADGA by Rising Light Ranch. Because the kids will carry our herd name for the rest of their lives, all names have to be approved. Most will have themes and we welcome the buyer's input and will work with you to settle on a name you like within our parameters.

We do not guarantee that buck kids will not grow to be over height bucks.

We cannot guarantee any goat's future health, show performance, or production. All adult goats on our farm o will be tested for CAE, CL, Johnes.

If you ever need to re home your Rising Light Ranch goat, we ask for right of first refusal. Due to circumstances or bio security reasons, we may not be able to buy back, but please check with us.
