The following is my contract for the sale of my soaking wet buckling kids.........
LONESOME DOE NUBIANS
Thank you for your purchase of a Lonesome Doe soaking wet buckling. The idea behind the sale is to put bucklings out of our first fresheners, and does who do not, as of yet, have show careers, into homes where there potential can be realized. Most of these bucks have granddams who are on the show string.
The price of your buckling was $100, this can be the very best $100 you have spent, when his dam does go on to be a winner, and it also can be the gamble it sounded like, when his dam is sold as a family milker. Understanding this when you purchase is of utmost importance as I do not guarantee anything other than he conforms to breed standard, he is healthy at the time of purchase, he was raise on CAE prevention, we do not have any CL in our herd, nor have we had, and that he will breed your doe with live kids on the ground by the time he is 2. If for any reason he is sterile upon his 2nd birthday I will refund your $100 or give you a kid of equal value, my choice, which does not mean you get a kid of similar bloodline, it means a buckling out of another first freshener. You must have had his semen tested or collected with your vet or collector, contacting my vet with the results.
Your buckling has receiving heat treated colostrum and pasteurized milk; he receives 4 bottles a day, 9am, 1pm, 5pm, 10 pm. If you do not have goat milk for this buckling from tested negative does for CAE, than please pasteurize the milk that he gets to 165 degrees. If you have no access to any goat milk, than please use Vitamin D Grocery store milk. Most milk replacers are very poor quality products meant for calves, which they do very poorly on. Do not use replacers that contain soy, soy will cause scours. If you must use milk replacers please follow the directions exactly, only offering the 8 ounces or so, 3 times a day. When using replacers, they will start eating grain and hay much quicker, make sure that your grain and hay is rich in protein and calcium for your dairy buck to grow to his potential. Nothing can replace the protein and calcium he gets from real milk.
It is up to you to register, disbud and to tattoo your kid (unless other arrangements have been made). He comes with his application of registry, do not loose this paperwork. It is also up to you to vaccinate, worm, and use cocci prevention. All bucklings who are here by the age of 7 days are disbudded. You can purchase cocci meds from Jefferspet.com in the livestock section.
Please always feel free to email me at
vickilonesomedoe@hotmail.com for health related questions, I can also be found at my forum dairygoatsinfo.com as can several of my good friends with just as much experience with goats as I have.
Thank you for your purchase, I always love to hear how the bucklings turn out and how their kids turn out for you.
