McClure Family Farm breeds ADGA registered Nigerian Dwarf Goats for dairy production, show, and pets. Here are a few things to note when purchasing a kid.
- The names we give our babies have been chosen by neighborhood children and friends as a temporary name while they’re in our care because we feel animals receive more personalized care when they are named. It also makes children feel special when they get to visit an animal that they named. We completely understand that the goat kids will be given whatever name their new farm wants them to have.
- No goats will be sold to homes that do not currently own goats, unless more than one goat is purchased. Goats are highly social herd animals and can not be without others of their own kind. We highly recommend purchasing 2 goats, as it smooths their transition to new homes.
- We do not sell our goats for meat purposes. Please don’t bother asking.
- We keep bucklings until ~8-9 weeks and doelings until 8-12 weeks.
- All kids are disbudded by 2 weeks of age and provided the first round of the CDT vaccination.
- We only bottle feed kids if needed, so most of our kids are doe-fed. However, due to the friendly nature of our does, the attention they get, and the attention our kids receive, all our kids are as friendly as a bottle-fed baby. As long as a doe-fed kid receives as much love and attention from humans as a bottle-fed baby, they will be just as friendly with humans.
- Kids will be tattooed before leaving the farm.
- Pregnant does are given the CDT vaccination at the appropriate time.
- We do not ship kids to new homes.
- A $50 deposit is required to hold a goat. McClure Family Farm may terminate a reservation or sale for any reason, with full refund of deposit or purchase price.
- McClure Family Farm always reserves the right to retain ANY kid or kids from any breeding that is listed on a kidding schedule.
- We welcome any questions at any time and our commitment to our animals doesn’t end when a goat leaves our farm. Feel free to reach out about goat care, welfare, behavior, etc. and always enjoy receiving updates on how our kids are doing at their new farms.
