Goat Reservations, Info and Sales Policy
All Sales Are Final
We have a clean herd. The goats on our farm are tested for CAE, CL, Johne's, Q Fever and Brucellosis every year. We do not offer stud service because of our herd biosecurity policy. Our goats are dual-registered with the American Dairy Goat Association and the American Goat Society. We participate in DHIA programs with both registries.
All sales are final. We do not accept returns of animals because of our farm biosecurity policy.
Please Note
Goats are herd animals and need a companion of the same species to thrive. Therefore, we will not sell a goat singly unless the buyer can and will provide a same-species companion. We raise our animals in a healthy and humane way and ask that you do the same if you purchase from our herd.

Guarantees
- All animals are deemed healthy at the time of sale, but since we are unable to control their environment and treatment after they leave our care, we do not guarantee the health or wellbeing of animals after they leave our farm. We are happy to facilitate disease testing, vet checks, and health certificates prior to sale at the buyer's expense. All monies received for vet checking or disease testing are nonrefundable, It is the buyers responsibility to know their state animal health laws and make arrangements accordingly. Goats under the age of six months cannot be tested for goat diseases because of the potential for inaccuracies at this age. We can however test the parents at the buyer's expense.
- Any goat sold as a breeding or show animal is dual-registered with the American Dairy Goat Association and the American Goat Society. Any goat intended to be a wether or pet is not sold registered. There are no guarantees on unregistered animals.
- We guarantee the fertility of registered bucks for 1 year after purchase. A buck, after reaching 1 year of age, should be able to serve and settle a doe. The buyer is expected to provide reasonable care and feed. Should the buck prove to be a non-breeder, the buyer shall notify the seller within 60 days from the first time he was used to service, provided the buck was at least 1 year of age at the time of service; and the buyer shall provide sufficient proof, such as a statement from a veterinarian, that said buck is sterile. This guarantee is not applicable if the buck successfully settled does post-sale or if disease or injury that occurred post-sale caused sterility.
- If the animal sold is a registered doe, there is no guarantee of fertility except where hermaphroditism becomes apparent when the animal reaches breeding age. This must be reported to us with sufficient proof by the time the doe is 1 year old.
- A doe sold "bred" is not guaranteed to be pregnant, but only to have normally accepted service from a buck. We guarantee nothing regarding pregnancy and kidding success or the viability and quality of the resulting offspring. If the doe resides at our farm until she kids, we reserve the right to retain or sell the kids at our discretion.
- We do not knowingly sell registered goats with disqualifying faults (e.g. over height Nigerians) existing at the time of sale without notifying the buyer prior to purchase. If the registered animal has a disqualifying defect that was obviously visually manifest at the time of sale (extra teat, etc.) but which we did not see, you must notify us within 1 year of purchase to receive a refund or replacement. We are not, however, responsible for an animal's death or injury or its future health, offspring, milk production, showing ability, linear appraisal scores, growth, adult height, or disposition.
- Beyond those listed here, there are absolutely no guarantees or warranties offered. The guarantees do not apply if the animal was not purchased directly from Hickory Leaf Dairy Goats, and they do not apply to animals that do not carry our herd name. We are not responsible for the rehoming of any animal purchased from us which the buyer no longer desires to keep, and we do not accept returns.
