Sales Policy

Reservations on an upcoming kidding require a $50 deposit.   Upon notification of availability of any kid reserved from us a $100 deposit is required to hold the kid .  All stock must be paid for in full prior to pick up / shipping.  In the unlikely event that a reserved kid dies prior to leaving Sage Acres the buyer may choose to have the deposit refunded or placed on another kid.  Shipping is available via Idaho Falls Idaho airport.  Should you wish to ship out of Salt Lake City, Utah, there is a fuel surcharge of $75 due to the high cost in fuel. We do upon occasion attend shows and might be able to meet the buyer at such shows.   Buyer is responsible for all shipping costs including the cost of the crate, vet exam, and any health certificates that may be required.   Animals are guaranteed to be healthy at time of shipment, and to be sound breeding animals upon maturity.  Should an animal not be able to breed,  then the animal would be replaced by another animal with one of equal but not less than similar quality.  All replacements must be returned to the farm, and a statement from a licensed veterinarian must accompany said request.  No offspring may be registered out of an animal that has been replaced or any further contract will be said null and void.

Herd Health 

We strive to raise healthy productive animals that are structurally correct and sound. We also feel healthy animals add to the longevity of an individual animal.  Our animals are fed high quality alfalfa, COB sweet mix, and we use loose trace minerals, and loose trace iodized salt.   All of our kids are taken from their dams at birth and bottled raised.  We practice CAE prevention,  meaning we heat treat colostrum,  pasteurize the milk and do bi-annual CAE testing.  At current our entire herd is CAE negative.  Does are given booster vaccinations of CDT & Bo-Se two weeks prior to kidding.  Kids are given Bo-Se at birth and CDT when we disbud at the appropriate stage of bud growth.  They are also given ¼ cc of ivomec orally.  We feel this gives them the edge in growth and health.  Along with regular hoof trimming,  our does get brushed and dusted regularly.  We generally worm our goats 2 x a year and as needed on individual animals.  Part of being healthy is being resistant to parasites, both external & internal.   If you should have any questions regarding our health program,  feel free to contact us.  We don’t know it all but we do know what works for us.
