Our Practices
At Beorningswick Dairy Goats, we are focused on providing quality show animals with the highest levels of customer satisfaction.
Our herd is CAE and CL free. We test for CAE on an annual basis while still following traditional CAE prevention protocols. We boil our milk at 210 degrees Fahrenheit and all births are attended.
Terms and Conditions of Sale
Reservations
We take reservations for 4 kids out of every breeding: 2 does and 2 bucks. In order to reserve a kid you must put down a $100 deposit for every kid you intend to buy. If you cancel the order this deposit is non-refundable. Please let us know your first and second choice for each reservation. We reserve the right to retain any animal for our breeding program regardless of any deposits put on him or her. If the kids you reserve are either not born, not deemed high enough quality for breeding and show, or retained for our own breeding program, we will offer you 3 choices:
- a refund of all deposits
- the choice to roll it over for the next kidding season
- to purchase your second choice, if available
Payment
We expect to receive your deposit check within 14 days of your request for a kid reservation. If you do not pay us the deposit within that time frame, the reservations will open to all others who want those kids. We only take check or cash. If a check has insufficient funds, your reservation is forfeit.
When your kid is born you have 14 days to pay the balance. If the balance is not paid, the kid will be privately offered to another breeder or will be posted on our facebook page for sale. We do not accept Paypal or money orders.
Shipping
We ship kids at 4 to 6 weeks of age. All costs regarding shipping including the crate, testing, and health certificate are at the expense of the buyer. We will send you an invoice for any and all costs regarding these areas. You may take the option to pay when you pick up your kid from the airport as long as the airline offers that option. If, however, the airline we use does not allow this option you will have to reimburse us for the costs within 30 days of shipping. If the costs are not paid within the 30 day limit, we will not register the kid until the costs are paid.
We ship out of Bradley International Airport in Windsor Locks, CT. We will let you know if we have to switch airports in order to ship your kid to the correct destination with a direct flight. We also enjoy having people come over to pick up their kid(s) in person so that they may see the kids' relatives.
Extenuating Circumstances
Any
animal not picked up/shipped after 6 weeks of age without letting us know of
extenuating circumstances will have a boarding fee of $25 applied for every
week for up to four weeks he or she is not picked up or shipped. If the kid is not picked up for four weeks, we will offer the kid for sale and all money paid is forfeit.
Buck Service/ Semen Sales
We do offer outside breeding. Costs usually range from $35 to $100 per doe bred. Please inquire for specific bucks. We currently do not have a semen tank.
