Goat Reservation Form

If you think you might be interested in any of the goats we have available now or in the future then please go ahead and fill out this questionnaire. Please answer the questions below to the best of your ability. This is not a test and there are no wrong answers. This is simply a tool to give us the information we need to match the perfect goats for you! This also gives us all of your contact info for the registration paperwork for your goats.

Once we've received your questionnaire we will contact you to answer any further questions you may have and let you know what, if anything, we have available. Then if you wish you may reserve your new goats with a non-refundable $100 per goat deposit, payable by a PayPal invoice which we will send to your email address.

Please note that you MUST answer all of the required questions and hit SUBMIT to send the form. If you skip a required question it will not send. If you don’t hit the submit button it will not send. If we do not receive your completed form we cannot sell you a goat. Thank you for your cooperation.

yes no

Do you have an outdoor fenced area and adequate shelter for goats? (A dog house or calf hutch is usually sufficient for shelter.) Or do you plan to set this up before you bring them home. Goats are farm animals, can't be housebroken do NOT make suitable house pets. *

If you answered "Other" what is your plan? *

Yes No No but I will before I pick up my goats

Do you know that goats eat primarily hay and loose goat minerals? (They don't need grain unless they're being milked and male goats in particular should not be fed grain because of the risk of Urinary Calculi.) *

Yes I knew that. No I didn't know that!

Do you have a veterinarian that treats goats in your area? Goats are susceptible to certain illnesses that they can die from if not treated promptly and properly and not all veterinarians treat goats. You don't want to wait until your goats are sick to find this out! *

Yes, I already have a goat vet I use. I don't have a goat vet but I know of one in my area that I can use. No I do not have a goat vet but I'm looking for one. No, I haven't got a goat vet and haven't even thought about it.
