GET YOUR GOAT!
Like many goat farms, Took a Leap Farm offers both adult goats and kids for sale each year; currently available animals are listed below. Dairy-quality (ADGA-registered) animals begin at $350; wethers are $100 each or two for $150. (Please note that we do require that new goat owners purchase two goats or have another suitable companion animal in residence, as a goat alone is an unhappy goat, indeed.) . Discounts are available for the purchase of multiple goats.
We require a $100 deposit to reserve an animal.
We maintain a closed herd and conduct regular tests for tuberculosis, brucellosis, Johne's, CAE, and CL. Our last tests, in May of 2018, were all negative.
We dam-raise the majority of our kids, as we feel that they should bond with and learn to be goats from their mamas. We wean at approximately 8 weeks or 15 pounds. Occasionally, we do bottle-feed our kids if the dam has a large litter or their are complications with kidding. All of our goats are disbudded shortly after birth and up-to-date on shots before going to their new homes. In addition, wethers are castrated (using a burdizzo) at 8-10 weeks of age.
We provide full health records and ongoing support for each of our goats when sold.
