Sales and Reservation Policies
All Sales Are Final.
We will be testing our herd at the beginning of February 2025 to guarantee that they are free of the goat diseases CAE, CL, and Johne's. Records are going to be available upon request.
Buying a Goat from Blu Tree Farm:
Reservations
Customers who have placed a deposit to reserve a goat or goats get first chance at the goat(s) they have reserved before the goats are offered to other customers. Once we have contacted you to let you know that a goat you reserved is available, please respond within 48 hours to confirm that you want it (after that time has elapsed, we will offer the goat to other customers). Deposits are nonrefundable, unless we are unable to provide the desired goat, in which case the deposit will be fully refunded, or transferred to another goat, as you prefer. If you would like to reserve a goat, we request a deposit per goat reserved of:
Wether Kids . . . . . . . . . $ 50
Doe Kids . . . . . . . . . . . $ 100 Buck Kids . . . . . . . . . . $ 100
Notification List
Customers may also be placed on our notification list for doelings and bucklings. If you are on the notification list, we will notify you when/if the goat(s) you are interested in become available, but the goat(s) will be offered to other customers at the same time. For this reason, please specify the fastest way of getting in touch with you. The first customer to confirm that they want the goat, can pick it up in a timely manner, and place a half-down deposit, will get the goat. We do not hold goats unless we receive a deposit. Note that customers who have placed a deposit to reserve a goat get preference over customers on the notification list.
Once you have agreed to purchase a specific goat:
A nonrefundable half-down deposit is required to hold the goat until the agreed-upon pick-up date (a reservation deposit is counted into the 1/2 down deposit to hold until pick up), with the final half and any vet/disease testing/etc. costs due upon pick up. We will not hold the goat if the deposit is not received.
Information needed about you:
- Email address and/or phone number. Also let us know if calling, texting, or emailing is a faster way of getting in touch.
- If you are purchasing registered goats, we need your name or farm name and your full address in order to officially transfer the goats to your ownership with the registry organizations.
- If you are in a state requiring a CVI, or if you will have a professional transporter bring the goats to your location, we need your full address (which the vet requires to issue a health certificate).
- If you are from out of the area, your general plan regarding how you will transport the goat(s) to your location (see transport options below). Will you pick up the goats yourself, or will you hire a transporter?
- Specify which goat(s) you would like to reserve, which parent(s) would you like to reserve a kid from, and/or which qualities you are looking for (specify gender, if any).
- If you are just getting into goats, please let us know. If you are an established farm reserving doe kids, buck kids, or any adult please provide information about your farm, including: Do you show, milk test, and/or linear appraise your goats?
Payment
We accept P​ayPal, checks, or Venmo (or cash if you are able to drop it off at the farm). All money received is nonrefundable, unless the seller is unable to provide the goat(s), in which case the money will be fully refunded or transferred to another goat, as the buyer wishes. If the money is transferred to another goat, they become nonrefundable unless the seller is unable to provide the goat for some reason.
Pick Up & Transportation:
Buyers are welcome to pick up their goats at our farm. We are ocated in Coeur d'Alene, ID. The buyer is solely responsible for travel and vet expenses, including but not limited to veterinary fees, disease testing, health certificates, crates, etc. We are willing to work with the Transporter of the buyer's choice. All Goats must be picked up by the date agreed upon. The seller is not required to hold them after that. Care costs may apply for holding certain goats, or for holding goats past the original pick-up date. Unless otherwise agreed upon at the time of sale, if a bred doe is left at our farm until she gives birth, we retain the right of ownership of the kids to retain or sell as we choose.
Reserved Rights
We reserve the right to retain any kid born on our farm. We reserve the right to raise or lower the pricing of kids once they are born based on their individual qualities and those of their ancestors. We reserve the right to place goats in the homes where we feel they will be most happy and productive. We reserve the right to cancel a sale at any time for any reason, with a full refund of any money received (unless the customer did not pick up the goat when agreed, did not pay as required, or otherwise failed to uphold their end of the sales agreement). We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone who: 1) We feel will not provide a good environment or proper care for animals. 2) Is unreasonable, threatening, debasing, harassing, argumentative, malicious, behaves suspiciously, is dishonest, has a track record of excessive vacillation, fails to uphold their end of a sales or breeding contract, or tries to circumvent Blu Tree Farm's sales policies and guarantees. 3) Will not provide us with information we request for the purpose of sale and/or transportation. 4) Will not pay.
