To Reserve a Kid:
- Reservations are based on the order in which deposits are received.
- Contact us via email to confirm the availability of your desired reservation.
- A 50% deposit per kid is required to hold the kid(s) ordered, and it is non-refundable unless we cannot supply the order.
- If we cannot supply the goat order, your deposit can be transferred to another goat that is available for the following year or returned to you.

- Registered bucks, non-registered, and wethers are available at 2 months of age and cannot be bred back to our does as they are all related.
- Full payment is due before the animal leaves the property. If you wish to pay your remaining balance at the time of pick-up, please bring cash or send an e-transfer a few days ahead.
- We are not responsible for the transportation of the goat, so please bring your own crate with clean, dry bedding when you come to pick it up.
- Immediately upon possession of the animal, the buyer takes full responsibility for the well-being and husbandry of the purchased animal.
- Laboratory tests are the financial responsibility of the buyer, as are the transporting kennels needed for animals.
- We do our best with disbudding Nubian goat kids, but we cannot guarantee that they will not develop scurs.
- See the link for more info. on disbudding: Make disbudding less painful for everyone – Ontario Goat

Seller’s Disclaimer: - The prospective new goat owner should be prepared for all goat care, including health and management. Please read the following information before considering adding a goat to your farm: https://www2.gov.bc.ca/assets/gov/farming-natural-resources-and-industry/agriculture-and-seafood/agriservicebc/webinars/sheep_and_goat_manual.pdf
- Animals are sold on a “where is, as is” basis and guarantees the buyer that the said animal(s) are in good health and are free of injury or disease at the date of sale.
- And the animal(s) sold is expected that he/she will breed if provided with the proper care, environment, and nutrition.
- Housing, feed, and transportation should be researched and planned. See our link webpage for more information https://wildacres.ca/links/

- We provide our does with 2nd cut alfalfa hay mix, which has a fine texture. Alfalfa mix hay is higher in protein and ensures proper growth and milk supply.
- Our bucks are also fed an alfalfa hay mix, but they are fed fewer grain treats. They receive grain treats mostly in the colder winter months. Too much grain for bucks can cause kidney stones.
- We also provide BOSS sunflower seeds, goat text, powdered kelp, and free choice loose goat minerals which provide needed selenium and copper, as well as free choice baking soda for any stomach ailments or bloating.
- Goats cannot eat stone fruit, such as cherries or peaches.
- We use 4-foot metal mesh sheep panels and 2 x 4 fencing wire with posts for our dogs and kids. Goats are curious and can get their heads stuck in 4×4 wire. Our bucks have a 6-foot fence.
- Nubian goats are herd animals and should always have goat companionship.

- Any contesting as to the health or physical condition of the animal(s) at the date of sale/upon arrival needs to be fully substantiated by a physical examination and applicable medical tests performed by a licensed veterinarian and provided in writing to the Seller within 48 hours of sale.
- We will not be responsible for veterinarian costs incurred by the buyer in obtaining such examinations and tests.
- For bio-security reasons, we cannot have goats return to our farm once they have left the property.
