Picking Up Your Kids
Please note that all kids have their scheduled pick-up date below their birthdate. Because we have a very large amount of babies being born all year round we need customers to pick up their kids in a timely manner. When you choose your babies please make a note of the ready date in your calendar. Any kids not picked up within 3 days of their ready date will be charged a daily board fee of $5 a day.
Exceptions are kids that are waiting to go home with a younger kid. We allow them to stay longer for no charge so the kids can go together, so long as they are not too far apart in age or ready dates. If your kid is ready on a weekday it can usually be picked up a few days early or later if a weekend works better for you.
We will send out an email a week or two before your goat's ready date, asking that you schedule your pick-up appointment. We have a lot of goats and puppies being picked up during kidding season so we need to pin down schedules ASAP. If we do not hear from you after three attempts to contact you then we will assume you do not want the goats and are forfeiting your Reservation Fee. We will cancel your reservation and put your goats up for sale.
