Please note- our goats are all social and are used to human companionship. We are looking for homes that will provide some degree of human interaction, which we believe is important to staying on top of their health and well-being. If you feel that you are up to providing that, please read the info below and fill out the short questionnaire linked in the 'Purchase Info' section.
After taking a look at your answers, I will be in touch to chat =)

We raise DAIRY GOATS. If we want milk, we must have babies- that's the way nature programmed it! While we would LOVE to keep every baby born on our farm, it's just not practical. This means that we typically have kids, and sometimes adults, available each spring and fall. We have registered and unregistered goats and all breedings are controlled. Every animal on our property is considered family and are treated as such. They receive lots of attention and care.
*WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO RETAIN ANY KID BORN ON OUR FARM, wait-list for kids will be filled after we have made selections*
KID INFO-Our does are rotated to kid only once a year, and kidding typically happens in late winter/early spring. Kids are dam raised, and are available for pick-up at 10-12 weeks of age when they are weaned. All kids are disbudded, if they are not naturally hornless (polled.) They also receive a CD/T vaccine and booster and an additive to their feed (called Bioworma) that helps to minimize the spread and ingestion of intestinal parasites during high risk times of the year. They have loose minerals, hay, baking soda, and free range pasture/browse available as well. All kids will have a modified mcmaster fecal test before leaving the farm and will be placed on medicated feed 1 week prior to pick-up date to help prevent stress induced overgrowth of coccidiosis. We encourage you to keep them on this feed for at least 4-6 weeks. All kids (registered and unregistered) are tattooed for ID purposes.
ADULT INFO-Adults have regular hoof trims and FAMACHA scoring, modified mcmaster fecal tests are done as needed, annual CD/T vaccines, have access to pasture during the day & hay 24/7. Feed/grain supplementation is offered according to the individual's nutritional needs and requirements. They are also on Bioworma during high load times of the year to minimize the spread and intake of intestinal parasites while grazing pasture. SweetLix Meat Maker loose minerals and baking soda are available free choice and COWP, Zinc, and BoSe supplements are administered as recommended by our veterinarian. Adults are tested for CAE, Brucellosis, CL, and Johne's, and we have started a testing rotation for Q Fever. With the occasional exception of adding a buck from a tested herd, our herd is CLOSED.
*We practice responsible deworming here at Shady Paddock Farm. That means that we NEVER do routine deworming of any kind. Our goats receive dewormers only when they are indicated per FAMACHA and 5 point checks. When we NEED a dewormer, we want it to WORK! Please educate yourself about dewormer resistance, and the huge problem it is becoming in many goat herds across the US.
Anyone interested in purchasing a goat from us is welcome to visit our farm and see our herd. Shoe covers and hand sanitizer are required before entering our paddocks, and will be provided.
PURCHASE INFO- Available goats are listed below. If you are interested in purchasing a goat from us, please complete this short questionnaire. Once reviewed, we will be in touch with instructions on how to pay the deposit, and to agree upon a pick up date. You will receive detailed health records on each goat purchased.
*A 50% NON-REFUNDABLE deposit is required to hold each kid/adult goat of your choice until the agreed upon pick up date. After that date, there will be a $5 per day charge for each goat. If the goat(s) have not been picked up by 10 days beyond the agreed upon pick-up date, your deposit will be forfeited in full, and the goat(s) will be offered to the next person on our waiting list or returned to available status in our sale barn.
GOATS FOR MEAT- if you are interested in purchasing a goat for meat, please send us a message for availability and more info on processing.
We are very proud of how our goats live and are treated. It is important to us that this same compassion and humanity are carried through to processing. For this reason, we work with a mobile processor that comes out to the farm. Prices are very reasonable and the stress on our animals is practically nothing compared to traditional processing.
