FOR SALE:
A small number of purebred Golden Guernsey kids are usually
available for sale each year. Adults are never sold. We reserve
the right as to who our kids are sold to. Remember, the goat
is a herd animal and will not be happy living on its own,
be prepared to keep at least two as companions for each other.
Previous experience of goatkeeping is preferred and/or a genuine
desire to find out about the correct needs of Golden Guernseys,
and goatkeeping in general, prior to taking animals on. Joining
the Golden Guernsey Goat Society will be found very useful
(see LINKS section). A caring, long term and responsible home
being the priority.
Kids are now mostly reared on their dams, running out on
pasture with the herd during the summer days, housed at night,
and go to their new homes in the Autumn. On leaving us they
will have been disbudded (i.e.had their horns removed by our
vet), had their initial vaccinations, been wormed, had some
lead training, been regularly handled, introduced to and eating
hard food, earmarked to conform with DEFRA current regulations
and registered with the British Goat Society in the Golden
Guernsey Section of the Herd Book. A full pedigree will be
supplied with each kid.
