Available Goats & Kidding Schedule
Our Reservation and Purchasing Process
Placing a Reservation
To reserve the option to purchase a kid, we require a $100 deposit per buck or doe kid you plan to purchase. This deposit can be moved to another doe or rolled-over to the following year if the reservation can't be fulfilled, but it is not refundable if the order is cancelled by the intended buyer. A reservation is not held until the deposit is received. Reservations are for kid availability, we reserve the right to retain any animals or refuse to sell an animal if we do not feel the kid or their dam is up to our standard of quality including first fresheners. Deposits and payments for kids may be made using cash, money order, cashiers check, cleared check or PayPal.
If you are interested in reserving a kid, please contact us with which does you are interested. You are more than welcome to choose a second and third choice but we ask that they are due the same time or in order of your choices. If you are not sure which doe you may want to place a reservation on, please let us know your herd goals, things you may like to add or maintain to your breeding program and any other information that may help us guide you in the right selection. Please keep in mind breeding plans are tentative, confirmed breedings will be listed once does are confirmed via ultrasound or blood test.
Once your reservation has been placed we will keep you updated on when the doe kids and if your reservation has been fulfilled. Full payment for the kid is due within ten days of being notified your reservation has been fulfilled. Starting in 2023, reserved kids must be picked up within two weeks of being born unless we have come to an agreement on a later pick up date. We understand it is a busy time of year, but due to increasing grain prices along with our limited time and space we cannot keep extra kids very long.
Kids will have their registration and transferred processed online with ADGA with fees included in the animal's purchase price. They will also be tattooed and disbudded before pick up. Kids are healthy and evaluated to be free from defects or disqualification at the time of pick up.
We retain the right to request 20 straws of semen back at the cost of collection from any buck we still. We recommend you refrain from selling semen from bucks we have sold until you've been able to evaluate daughters in milk.
Hops N Lops Farm abides by ADGA Recommended Trade Practices for members (ADGA Guidebook, Bylaws Article XIX).
Air-shipping or Ground Transporting
If you need to have your kid air shipped, your shipping deposit must be paid within ten days of being notified so we can being making arrangements as soon as possible. If there is any deviation in the cost we will bill or refund you for the difference the day of shipping. While we are cautious with which transporters, we are willing to work with ground transporters assuming their meeting schedule works with ours on a case by case basis. All transport, crate, veterinary or other related fees are the responsibility of the buyer.
Photos of Kids
Due to my limited time, we do not anticipating having time for taking "side profile" or "posed" photos of kids prior to pick up. In our experience, a breeder's opinion is much more valuable than a photo of a brand new kid. We take advantage of all of ADGA's performance programs to give the buyer the most information to evaluate pedigrees and are more than willing to answer questions. We do our best to keep you updated with updates on the kid leading up to pick up or transport day.
Pet Wethers
We do offer a few pet wether groups each year for a very reasonable price. For families purchasing pet wethers that may attend fairs or shows, we highly recommend requesting an ADGA Certificate of Identification from us prior to pick up. Please contact us to be placed on the waiting list.
