Livestock Sales Policy

Reservations are based on the order in which deposits are receive; we cannot hold your reservation without a deposit.

Prices listed on our website are for pre-ordered kids only. Prices are subject to change on kids that are not pre-ordered. You will be notified when your kid is born and then payment must be received within 14 days of notification. Arrangements should made for transport/pickup when notified the choice of kid(s) is available.

We will ship kids out of Edmonton Airport at your request. There is a $150.00 fuel fee for us to transport kids to Edmonton airport. Any airfare and costs related (crate, etc) are at the buyer’s cost.

A 50% deposit per goat is required to hold the kid(s) or adult goat ordered; this is non-refundable unless we cannot supply the order.

Payment options accepted are e-transfer, cash or certified cheques. We do not accept personal cheques.

Deposits are not refunded on canceled orders.

As the breeder/owner of the animals, we reserve the right to retain any animal of our choosing for herd replacement; Deposits will be refunded if your reservation is chosen to be retained. We try to pick our favourite breedings and mark as “retained” on our posted breeding schedule, to minimize the retained/reservation conflict).

We reserve the right as a breeder to refuse a sale of a goat to anyone, at any time at any point in the transaction, at which point your deposit will be refunded by us.

If we are unable to fill your order then your deposit may be transferred to another choice, carried over to the following year or refunded upon request.

Full payment is due before the animal leaves the property. If you wish to pay at the time of pick-up, please bring cash.

Goat/kid goat must be shipped or picked up by the agreed date, any time after that will be a boarding fee of $10.00 per day for adult goats and $5.00 per day for kids. If not picked up by 2 weeks after the agreed date the sale is voided and the buyer loses their deposit unless other agreements have been made.

Immediately upon possession of the animal, the buyer takes full responsibility for the well-being and husbandry of the purchased animal

Any laboratory tests (if you wish to test for CAE, Johnes etc) are the financial responsibility of the buyer as are any transporting costs for animals, not limited to but including: crates, plane tickets, health clearances, and vet fees associated with any testing and testing fees.

We do our best with disbudding kids but we cannot guarantee that they will not develop scurs.

We do not guarantee show quality, but we do strive for this – we breed our goats for correct conformation and breed character.

We do not offer farm tours, breeding or stud services due to biosecurity measures.

Seller Agrees to:

Have registered kid(s) disbudded, tattooed, and dewormed before they leave the farm.

Transfer the ownership registration by the requirements of CGS to the buyer’s name.

Seller agrees to accept the responsibilities for the transfer fees.

Seller’s Disclaimer:

Animals are sold on a “where is, as is” basis and guarantees the buyer that the said animal(s) are in good health, are free of injury or disease at the date of sale.

Any animals sold are expected to be breeding sound if they are provided with the proper care, environment, and nutrition. In the case of failure to breed the situation must be fully substantiated by a physical examination and applicable medical tests performed by a licensed veterinarian.

While we strive to transfer registered animals with the CLRC within 90 days of sale, sometimes issues beyond our control – like postal strikes and CLRC website revamps – can cause delays.

In any case, we will strive to execute the transfer of ownership registration under the requirements of the Canadian Livestock Registration Corporation within 6 months of purchase. **In order to do so, we will need your full name and mailing address.

We are not financially responsible for the medical expenses of a fully purchased animal either before or after it leaves our care, however we will do our best to care for animals until they leave our farm.

Any contesting as to the health or physical condition of the animal(s) at the date of sale/upon arrival needs to be fully substantiated by a physical examination and applicable medical tests performed by a licensed veterinarian and provided in writing to the Seller within 48 hours of the sale.

We will not be responsible for veterinarian costs incurred by the buyer in obtaining such examination and tests.

For bio-security reasons, we cannot have goats return to our farm once they have left the property.

Sending a deposit signifies the buyer’s agreement to the above sale terms.

Thank you,

Veerman Acres
