Goat sales
Since 1995 we have selected, culled and improved our herd in order to be able to garantee the best quality possible. For the 2008-2009 season we have a limited number of goats for sale; each animal is evaluated and priced according to the quality and quantity of fiber it produces. All the animals in our herd that conform to the standards of the Italian Cashmere Goat Association are registered in the appropriate sections; those that do not reach these standards are sold as cull animals. All of our adult animals undergo rigorous, annual testing for:
CAEV
Brucellosis
Paratubercolosis
We are in a Blue-Tongue and Scrapie Free area.
Our doelings, kids and bucks are fiber-tested at 12 months and again at 24 months of age. We sell reproductive goats ONLY after their first laboratory evaluation (at 12 months' of age). Castrated males (wethers) for the non-breeding farm or for use in Pet Therapy, Work Goats, etc., can be sold from 3 months of age. The majority of our goats are dislocated to other farms during the summer months, so animals sold nust be delivered either in the spring before they leave our farm or in the fall/winter.
Our waiting list is between one to 24 months, and we request that our Sales Contract be read, signed and filled out before we can confirm delivery. We continue to offer management, herd and health consultancy as well as creation and marketing of finished products for the individual farm.
We offer to buy back any raw fiber produced by the new owners. By becoming members of the Italian Cashmere Goat Association (CapCashIt), each member is entitled to have his own fiber dehaired and spun.
Colors available are WHITE - BROWN - GREY
ALL ANIMALS FROM OUR FARM ARE SOLD WORMED, VACCINATED, AND TAGGED ACCORDING TO EEC REGULATIONS, WITH OFFICIAL INVOICE, AND TRAVELLING DOCUMENTS. Those animals sold as reproductive adults are also micrrochipped at the time of registration in the Italian Cashmere Goat Association CapCashIt.
