Our herd has tested negative for CAE/Cl/Johnes, with CAE testing done yearly. CAE results available, just ask! No other diseases or viruses have been presented within our herd. We encourage goat buyers and breeders to test, cull and keep a clean herd at all times to prevent the spread of contagious and degenerative diseases.

​

We offer goat kids available on the bottle to experienced customers only. Bottle customers will be offered babies to pick up after their disbudding or after 1-2 weeks of being on the bottle (polled) to assure bottle confidence and health. Bottle kids must be paid for in full upon interest to hold until pick up. 

** We do not sell bottle babies to anyone inexperienced **

​

Typically, a half down, non-refundable deposit is required to secure your goat kid until weaning and pickup around 2 months of age. Bucklings will come registered but without DNA on file. ADGA now requires that all males born in and after 2024 must have DNA on file before their offspring can be registered. It is your responsibility to submit a hair sample to ADGA once the buckling is in your possession.

All wethers must be paid for in full, in advance to hold, no refunds.

All babies will be disbudded unless polled. We will not leave any goats horned.

​

You must have a same age and gender kid to coexist with any new goat kid purchase from us, or, you must purchase two. Wethers may be available as a lower priced companion option. The general health and well being of the animals is of the upmost importance to us; as herd animals, they must stay with like kinds.

​

Adult and dry yearling animals may be offered from time to time. Reasons for selling will vary depending on each animal on an individual basis. Certain restrictions apply case by case. New additions often end up at the bottom of the herd's pecking order which can be a detriment to their well being so multiples are encouraged.

​

Agreeance to this policy is binding for all goat sales when any financial transaction between the buyer (you) and seller (O'Brien Farm) has been made including a deposit. By purchasing/transferring money,  you agree to all terms listed herein on this page. For payment, we accept: Cash / Venmo / PayPal / Zelle, absolutely NO CHECKS. 

 

O'Brien Farm CNY retains the right to withhold or retract sales of any animal to any individual at anytime, even if a deposit has been made. Our top priority is our animals' safety and well being in their future homes as well as our own interests at our discretion.  In the event of a retraction in our favor, your money will be returned. If you back out for any reason after a deposit is made, you will lose your deposit. Situations can and do arise; consideration on a return of funds may be considered at our discretion but are not guaranteed.

​

If you've had animals with any diseases in the past on your property, confidential disclosure is needed before purchase for safety reasons; including but not limited to Orf, CAE, Johnes and CL. We only accept the responsible breeding of livestock and proper management; no sale is worth any animal's right to a quality, disease free, healthy life. If you have remedied the situation, please let us know so we can consider the best options moving forward!

​

All sales are final, except in the event there is a veterinarian proven physical disability/deformity from a birth condition inhibiting a normal life, or, proven breeding deficiency due to genetics/congenital issues, at which time will be considered. In such an event, we will replace the animal with another of equal value to your liking or seek alternative accommodation at our discretion. Other situations or conditions may apply and are based exclusively on circumstantial basis, to be determined by O'Brien Farm. In the event of an unforeseen development that is not present at birth but appears over the course of a couple months such as split/extra teats, the goat will be/need to be marked "sold without papers" to unregister them (if already registered), any deposits or payments will be addressed at the time, and money back or a substitution will be our options. We do not cover loss of travel expenses due to transportation costs, only the sale price/deposit. 

 

** We reserve the right to FIRST BUYBACK; if you decide to sell any of the goats ever purchased from O'Brien Farm, we are to be offered the animal back FIRST. The goat(s) may not be sold to any party besides O'Brien Farm until we formally decline to buy back. We agree to make a decision within 12 hours of notification being received and acknowledged.  The goats(s) will be offered to be sold back to us at the original purchase price per goat. **

 

Once any animal leaves the property it is up to you to maintain its health. We are not liable for the goat(s) once they leave our farm as many factors apply to the health and well being of said goat(s). We will not send unhealthy animals, to our knowledge, off of the farm for purchase without prior knowledge or an agreement acknowledging such. It is not safe to transport/rehome goats when they are in any health crisis as the stress can emphasize hardship and healing. 

​

Register-able goats will carry our desired name, unless otherwise indicated or agreed upon. 

​

We do not air ship or sell out of the country, USA and ground transportation only. 

​

We don't vaccinate

We urge you to do your own research and evaluate your potential risk levels on your farm to determine if vaccines are best for your livestock. We welcome and encourage you to vaccinate our animals once you purchase them if you think that's the best choice for you. ​​
