2024/2025
Kidding Schedule
\
Thank you for your interest in Living Dreams Nigerians! We have worked very hard this year to produce some extremely versatile kids, and I hope that shows. Here at Living Dreams Ranch, we do not focus on one particular attribute. We strive for everything: Show quality, milking capability and high Linear Appraisal scores. We want our buyers to visualize all the hard work we put in to our breeding program when they take a baby home from us. Our herd is blood tested annually for CAE, and we submit pooled fecal samples for Johnes testing every other year. We have NEVER had any type of abscess to worry about CL, and the blood test is highly unreliable.
We do not charge for reservations, and are currently accepting names. Please keep in mind we only take 4 reservations per breeding, 2 doeling and 2 buckling, including owner retained. WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO RETAIN ANY KID AT ANY TIME, UNLESS DEPOSIT HAS BEEN MADE. Does that do not have a due date under "KIDS" have not been bred yet, and therefore the buck can be changed at any time.
Once kids are born we require a 50% deposit to hold your animal. Starting the fall of 2024, we have started pulling kids at birth and raising them on bottles/lambars. This makes for sweeter babies that are easier to handle and train. Kids are now to be picked up at 4 weeks on the bottle, unless other arrangements have been made with me.. Kids purchased after 4 weeks have one to two weeks after purchase to pick up. Any kid here one week after weaning will incur a $5/day boarding charge, unless prior arrangements made prior to deposit being made. Transportation must be arranged by the buyer. Due to regulations and temperature restrictions, we do not offer air shipping, but have several reputable ground transporters we highly recommend. Payment in full, plus any health certificate fee, must be paid for prior to transport pickup. Payments accepted are cash, Venmo or Paypal (Friends and Family only). No personal or cashiers checks accepted. Upon pick up, remaining balance should be in cash.
GUARANTEES:
We guarantee a replacement of equal or greater value if a kid we sell develops a genetic defect that is determined and documented by a licensed veterinarian. We understand that there is a huge concern over Carpal Hyperextension (CH), especially in regards to the Nigerian Dwarf breed, and that it is at least partially genetic. So if any animal that we have sold develops this condition, we will offer a replacement of equal or greater value *if* 1) the affected animal's papers are transferred back to us and 2) the animal has no registered offspring. If the affected animal already has registered offspring, we will offer a 50% credit of the purchase price of the animal towards any other kid offered at Living Dreams Nigerians, so long as the affected animals papers are transferred back to us. We will require videos and pictures documenting the condition, and if it is determined that the animal has suffered any type of neglect or abuse, the guarantee is null and void and no replacement will be given. We do not offer refunds of any kind
Prices subject to change at any given time, unless deposit is paid. If you do not already own goats, we will not sell a single goat and require that
you buy at least two. Goats are herd animals. They generally do not do well alone.
Wether Pricing: $125 each, $200 for 2
