Our herd has tested negative for CAE/Cl/Johnes, with CAE testing done yearly. CAE results available, just ask! No other diseases or viruses have been presented within our herd. We encourage goat buyers and breeders to test, cull and keep a clean herd at all times to prevent the spread of contagious and degenerative diseases.

​

We offer goat kids available on the bottle to experienced customers only, or readily available at weaning between 2-3 months old. Bottle customers may be offered an incentive to take them early!

** We do not sell bottle babies to anyone inexperienced **

​

A half down, non-refundable deposit is required to secure your goat kid until weaning age/pickup. Bucklings will come registered but without DNA on file. ADGA now requires that all males born in 2024 must have DNA on file before their offspring can be registered. It is your responsibility to submit a hair sample to ADGA once the buckling is in your care.

All wethers must be paid for in full in advance to hold, no refunds.

All babies will be disbudded unless polled.

​

You must have a same age and gender kid to coexist with any new goat kid purchases from us, or, you must purchase two. Wethers may be available as a lower priced companion option. The general health and well being of the animals is of the upmost importance to us; as herd animals, they must stay with like kinds.

​

Adult animals may be offered from time to time. Reasons for selling will vary depending on each animal on an individual basis. If you have questions regarding any animal that may be available, please reach out. Any adult does for sale are encouraged to go to homes with offspring or in pairs with another adult animal. New adults often end up at the bottom of the herd's pecking order which can be a detriment to their well being. 

​

Agreeance to this policy is binding for all goat sales when any financial transaction between the buyer (you) and seller (O'Brien Farm) has been made including a deposit. By purchasing and transferring money,  you agree to all terms listed herein on this page. 

 

O'Brien Farm CNY retains the right to withhold or retract sales of any animal to any individual at anytime, even if a deposit has been made. Our top priority is our animals' safety and well being in their future homes as well as our own interests and discretion.  In the event of a retraction in our favor, your money will be returned. If you back out for any reason after a deposit is made, you will lose your deposit. Situations can and do arise; consideration on a return of funds may be considered at our discretion but are not guaranteed. 

​

If you've had animals with any diseases in the past on your property, confidential disclosure is needed before purchase for safety reasons; including but not limited to Orf, CAE, Johnes and CL. We only accept the responsible breeding of livestock and proper management; no sale is worth any animal's right to a quality, disease free, healthy life. If you have remedied the situation, please let us know so we can consider the best options moving forward!

​

All sales are final, except in the event there is a veterinarian proven physical disability/deformity from a birth condition inhibiting a normal life, or, proven breeding deficiency due to genetics and/or internal issues. In either event, we will replace the animal with another of equal value to your liking or seek alternative accommodation at our discretion. Other situations or conditions may apply and are based exclusively on circumstantial basis, determined by O'Brien Farm CNY. In the event of an unforeseen development that is not present at birth but appears over the course of a couple months such as split/extra teats, the goat will be/need to be marked "sold without papers" to essentially unregister them (if already registered), any deposits or payments will be addressed at the time, and money back or a substitution will be our options. We do not cover loss of travel expenses due to transportation costs, only the sale price/deposit. 

 

** We reserve the right to FIRST BUYBACK; meaning in the event you decide to ever sell the animals purchased from us, we are offered the animal back FIRST before anyone else and the animal(s) may not be sold to anyone else until we formally decline. We agree to make a decision within 12 hours of notification being received and acknowledged.  The animal(s) will be offered to be sold back to us at the original purchase price. **

 

Once any animal leaves the property it is up to you to maintain its health. We are not liable for the animal(s) once they leave our farm as many factors apply to the health and well being of said animal(s).

 

Register-able goats will carry our desired name, unless otherwise indicated or agreed upon. 

​

We do not air ship or sell out of the country, USA and ground transportation only. 

​

We don't vaccinate

We urge you to do your own research and evaluate your potential risk levels on your farm to determine if vaccines are best for your livestock. We welcome and encourage you to vaccinate our animals once you purchase them if you think that's the best choice for you. 

​

De-worm only when necessary

 We believe that resistance to de-wormer medication is real due to underdosing and repetitive use when it's not needed. It's imperative that you only treat when worms are present.

 

De-wormers are intended to eliminate parasites, not affect healthy organs. If you suspect parasites due to a change in attitude, inactivity, lack of appetite, a poor body condition, and/or a low FAMACHA score, a fecal exam is needed by your farm vet to determine which parasite is infecting your animals, as well as how to treat them appropriately. One de-wormer doesn't cover everything; always check with your vet. Your vet is #1 in any emergency or questionable circumstance, not Facebook. Contacting your professional breeder is smart as well!
