Taylor'd Acres Sales Policy and Price Guide

Thank you for your interest in our goats! Please review the following terms carefully before placing a deposit. While I know this is a lot of information, these policies ensure the health of our animals, clear communication, and a smooth buying process. By placing a deposit, you agree to the terms below.

General Terms

• Seller's Right: Taylor’d Acres reserves the right to retain any goat prior to deposit without explanation. Once a deposit is made, that goat is reserved for you and only you.

• All Sales Final: Once a goat leaves our property, all responsibility and liability transfer to the buyer. No returns will be accepted due to biosecurity concerns.

• Health: All goats are guaranteed healthy, injury-free, and well cared for at the time of sale. Taylor’d Acres cannot guarantee future health, performance, or temperament once a goat leaves our farm. Please understand that stress and drastic changes can encourage parasite blooms in an otherwise healthy animal. We always recommend that buyers run fecals within two weeks of moving goats and offer supportive care/vitamins to help ensure the best transition.

Deposits & Payments

• A non-refundable deposit of 50% is required to hold a goat, no matter the age. PayPal deposits must be made friends and family, include a 3% fee if using goods and service, or be paid in cash. We do not take other payments at this point in time.

• An agreed upon pickup date must be set at the time of deposit, within two weeks of placing your deposit unless otherwise arranged. 

• Remaining balance is due in cash at pickup or as PayPal before arriving on the farm. Goats will not leave the farm until paid in full.

• If the buyer backs out or fails to pick up the goat on the agreed upon date without notice, the deposit and any boarding fees are forfeited.

Pickup & Boarding

• Bottle kids must be picked up by two weeks of age unless otherwise agreed. A $2/day boarding fee applies for delays. Kids not picked up by four weeks of age without prior arrangement will be re-listed.

• Adults and older kids must be picked up within two weeks of deposit unless prior arrangements are made. After two weeks, a $2/day boarding fee applies. Goats not picked up within one week of the agreed date without contact or rescheduling will be re-listed, and all payments/deposits forfeited.

•When arriving at our farm, we are more than happy to show you dams, sires, and any siblings that are on property as we bring your goat out to you. Due to biosecurity, we do NOT allow visitors within our goat pens under any circumstance. 

Kid Policy (Effective 2026)

• All kids are pulled at birth and sold as bottle babies.

•  Buyers must have at least one other goat of similar age, or purchase two kids together. No single goats will be sold to homes without other goats. We do offer discounts on bucklings listed as wethers for companions to any registered kids sold!

•Taylor’d Acres disbuds anywhere between three to ten days of age, and all kids are disbudded unless specifically requested to be left horned (this requires the price of the kid to be paid in full rather than a deposit.)

•All Taylor'd Acres kids receive CDT vaccinations at eight weeks of age and a booster again at eleven weeks. Since bottle babies leave earlier than this, we strongly recommend that buyers follow this regimen to ensure the best health of their kids.

• This applies to adult does and bucks as well. We will sell individually under extremely special circumstances, but even adults do better acclimating to their new home if they have a buddy that goes with them. We reserve the right to make exceptions, or refuse the sale of a single animal if we feel it is in the goat's best interest.

Registration

• Due to current wait times within ADGA, we do not try and register kids before pickup. All registerable kids will be registered and transferred online at pickup unless already registered. Buyers will receive a transfer notification and must pay the ADGA or MDGA fee via their own account. For buyers without an ADGA or MDGA ID, kids will be sent home with a paper application for the buyer to complete and send in.

• Taylor’d Acres selects registered names unless otherwise arranged.

Bucklings & Wethers

• Most bucklings are sold as unregistered wethers with the exception of bucklings from our top does.

• Bottle baby wethers: $200 each; $125 each if buying two or more.

• All bottle wethers leave intact for proper development and health safety. We offer burdizzo castration at 12 weeks if you choose to come back to our farm for the procedure for $25. If the buyer prefers to use another method of castration, it is up to the buyer to complete. 

Health & Care

• Our herd is disease-tested annually for CL and Johnnes, Q Fever, and all does are up-to-date on CDT, copper, fecals, and other prevention and management protocols. As of 2026, we have never had an abscess on the property. 

• Kids receive coccidia prevention starting at three weeks of age with toltrazuril until they turn six months.

• Our goats are fed quality hay, alfalfa, free choice minerals, and grain. We maintain strict biosecurity for herd health. It is highly recommended that their new homes maintains quality minerals and forage/hay. We always send a small amount of grain with our goats to ensure proper transitioning. 

Guarantees & Limitations

As much as we'd love to promise everything a buyer's heart desires, realistically we cannot guarantee:

• Milk production of does in their new home (DHIR data is available for all of our does on test for buyers to research.) Management plays a significant role in milk production!

• Show quality, size at maturity, or presence of scurs in kids as they mature (though our goal is always show quality and milk production!) Again, management and feed play a large role in growth and condition.

• Future fertility or breeding success (including bred does), as environmental factors can affect this

• Compatibility with other animals or humans.

If a genetic defect is discovered post-sale (with licensed vet diagnosis), we may offer a replacement if one is available, or credit toward a future goat.

Discounts

• Pricing is non-negotiable, except for discounts on multiple animal purchases such as wether companions.

Transportation & Vet Certificates

Buyers are responsible for arranging pickup, adequate transportation, and the cost of any Health Certificate (required for interstate travel), including vet exam, gas, and testing. We are happy to work with transporters. Arranging transport, paying any fees associated with transport, and coordinating dates are the buyer's responsibility. Questions? We’re always happy to help—reach out anytime! We want our goats to thrive in their new homes and are here to support you before and after your purchase.

By paying a deposit, the buyer agrees to all the terms above.
