Sales and Reservation Policy
Reservations: Lil' Hill Farm maintains a list to reserve kids.
To reserve kid(s), the prospective buyer must submit their name and email
address to be placed on the list. No deposits are taken on kids until they
are born and determined by Lil' Hill Farm to be healthy. The first person
on the reservation list will then be notified and must respond within 48 hours
of the email being sent. If no response is made within 48 hours or the
potential buyer does not wish to retain the kid, then the next person on the
reservation list will be notified. A deposit to hold the kid will be
required within one week of a purchase agreement. A deposit of $50 for a
buck kid and $100 for a doe kid will
hold an animal for 30 days in which the buyer must arrange for pickup or transport.
Deposits:
Deposits will be required within one week of purchase agreement.
Deposits shall be in the amount of $50.00 for bucks, and $100.00 for does. This
deposit will hold the animal for 30 days in which the buyer must arrange pickup
or transport. Animals not picked up within the 30 day period may incur a
$2.00 per day boarding fee.
After 45
days, the animal will be placed back on our sales list, and any monies paid
toward that animal will be forfeited by the buyer.
All deposits are
NONREFUNDABLE, except
for illness or death of the kid. In that instance, the deposit may be
directed toward another kid or refunded, at the discretion of Lil' Hill Farm.
All sales are made on a first come first serve basis unless a reservation has
been made. Keeping buck kids intact out of first fresheners will be
determined by the quality of the dam's udder after kidding. Pregnant does
will not travel during their last 6 weeks of pregnancy.
Sales/Payment: Personal checks are accepted only on
deposits or if the animal is paid for in full at least two weeks before pickup.
Cash is required if animal is paid for at pickup. All sales are final.
We cannot guarantee the care a goat will be given once it leaves our farm and we
accept no returns.
Pickup/Transport: Kids are weaned and ready for pickup
or transport at
approximately 8 weeks of age. They will have at least their first CD/T
vaccination, worming, hoof trimming and be tattooed prior to pickup.
Veterinary health certificates (optional, but required by law for interstate
travel) and fees charged by the Veterinarian for the farm call and animal
examination and/or tests are the responsibility of the purchaser.
GUARANTEE
We sell animals that are healthy and sound at the
time of transfer. We cannot guarantee that they will mature as you or we
would expect. We cannot guarantee their mature conformation, stature,
udder attachment, show ability, quality of their offspring, etc. There are
many factors involved in the development of an animal including feeding, health
care maintenance, parasite control, housing, breeding, stress, etc. We
cannot take responsibility for how a kid you purchase from us ultimately
matures.
We do not guarantee that a purchaser will like an animal they purchase from us.
An animal represents a genetic package. We are not under
obligation to take any animal back once it has left the property.
If a buyer wants to see an animal before purchase, that’s wonderful—s/he may
come to the farm and choose the animal (these are the BEST choices). For
long-distance purchases we will do our best to realistically represent the
animal with photos and descriptions. All sales are final.
Adult does and bucks that are sold as "proven" means they have produced for us
here at Lil' Hill Farm. That is the extent of our guarantee as there is no
way we can guarantee what they may do when they leave here.
Because we cannot guarantee the care given to the animals once
they leave our farm, no refund or replacement will be offered unless a certified
Veterinarian statement or Necropsy report states that the animal was unhealthy
because of a genetic problem or circumstances that could only be caused before
the buyer had taken possession of the animal, including infertility, unless the
animal was sold as pet quality or wethered.
Any illness or injury attributed to buyer care or lack thereof will not warrant
return of purchase price or replacement of animal. Any cost associated with
replacement of animal, such as shipping & health certificate, will be the
responsibility of buyer.
Lil' Hill Farm reserves the right to
retain any kids born on our farm at any time.
