KID RAISING SUGGESTIONS All kids are raised on a very strict CAE prevention.  They are bottle fed heat treated colostrum and pasteurized milk. They will also be disbudded before leaving the farm. All of our kids  are handled at least 3 times a day. Humans are the only mamma's they  know so they make excellent pets. Once you get your  kid home he or she should be fed fresh (or frozen) goat's milk (not canned).  If you do not have access to goat's milk, use regular whole cow milk from the grocery store. This is much better for them than goat milk replacer formula which can cause diarrhea. Very often, problems with bottle fed kids stem from the use of milk replacers. Allow them to eat all they want  3X’s a day (up to 24 oz.).  Be careful not to increase over an ounce at any one time. You can start weaning at 8 weeks of age. PLEASE make all changes slowly. Make sure they have hay and fresh clean water at all times. I allow kids free choice grain, then when they are 4 weeks of age I give them their grain for 10 minutes then take it away twice a day. You will need to offer free choice goat minerals. Always make sure your goat has a good shelter, they can not tolerate  being wet.  We do not recommend raising your goat alone, they are herd animals and need the companionship of another, plus it helps keep them warm on cold winter nights. Your goats hooves will need to be trimmed routinely. A simple pair of pruning shears will do the trick.

Sales Policy $100 will reserve the unborn kid of your choice. If purchasing a kid thats already born or an adult half of the cost of the animal will hold them for up to 30 days.  Boarding charges of $2 a day will be applied after 30 days.  Animals not picked up after 60 days become the property of Wood Bridge Farm and no refund will be issued. You can use PayPal, or send a money order. PLEASE NOTE WE NO LONGER ACCEPT CHECKS. If using PayPal please add 3% service charge. All prices are for animals picked up at the farm. All additional expenses required for shipping are the responsibility of the buyer. These will include a $50 delivery charge to the airport (since we are 2 hours one way from the nearest airport), health certificate which is $50 plus if your state requires blood testing that will be added, shipping crate, and transportation costs. Even if you are picking your animal up,all animals leaving the state must have a health certificate. Shipping can be easily arranged at the Dayton airport.  You can ship 2 kids for around $240. Guarantee All animals are guaranteed healthy when they leave our farm. We are glad to get you health papers for your kid.  This is required for any kid leaving the state, but is an  option for in state purchases.  Since we can not control any stress that may occur as a result of shipping, the animal's environment or management once it leaves our farm, we cannot offer further guarantee.
