Herdsires (bucks)
You are viewing our sale items
From time to time we will post here to offer goats and other miscellaneous items available for sale.
Last updated 5 June 2009
Unless otherwise stated, all prices are for cash. We can make these items available in Anchorage or Wasilla and we do accept PayPal so you can pay by credit card. Please do not send any money through PayPal until we have confirmed agreement to the sale and provided you a total.
We practice strict bio-security. Our herd comes from clean-tested, high-quality stock with a long history of negative test results. Additionally, our vet recently tested and examined the entire herd and the results confirm we remain clean and clear of CAE, CL, and Johne's. Copies of complete test results are always available for inspection by prospective buyers.
Be sure to check out the kidding schedule to see kids available and to plan your reservations for future kids. If you are outside Southcentral Alaska, we can arrange for health certificates and testing and ship out of Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport (ANC). If you plan ahead to purchase when they are young and small enough, even at weaning at 12 weeks, two kids may be able to share a crate for the trip to you.

Have you seen our kids??
We have several boys for sale from the March & April kiddings. We had seven boys born. Two are ready as wethers and one or two may be available as herdsires to just the right show homes. We may some others available from this crop but for now we are holding them for evaluation. All our goats are purebred. Bucks will be dual-registered in ADGA & AGS, wethers may be registered at the buyer's request for no added fee. Although they are dam-raised, we handle all the kids daily and they are all very friendly. They may go in pairs, as companions to any of our other goats for sale from our herd, or to another solid, experienced home with other goats of their size.
We are currently sold out of doe kids, but we will be taking reservations on our July and October kiddings. We will also be evaluating our senior does as they freshen. Some adults may be available for purchase after weaning their kids. Please see our 2009 pairings page for more information on these purebred, dairy boys.
They have been disbudded and as always, our whole herd tested negative for CAE, CL, and Johne's in August 2008. All our goats come from only negative-tested, trusted herds.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Six-month-old buck
Picture coming soon
We have a six-month-old buck available for sale as a buck or a wether. He is a purebred, dairy buck registered in ADGA. He may be registered with AGS at the buyer's request for no additional fee. He can go as a buck or a wether. He is gold and white, disbudded, and from a clean-tested herd that last tested all negative for CAE, CL, and Johne's in March 2009.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Two wethers
These two brothers are two of quadruplets. Handled daily, they are friendly and love attention. They are purebred and can be dual-registered in ADGA & AGS for showing in certain shows that allow wethers. They would make great 4H projects, companions, pets, or brush clearers. They are disbudded and will be ready to go later this spring, after they are healed from their wethering. We would like to see them stay together and we do offer a multiple-purchase discount. We may have additional wethers and one or two bucks available.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yoohoo
We are offering one of our coming yearling boys for sale. Yoohoo is a purebred, dairy buck dual-registered in AGS & ADGA. He will be wethered as soon as it is warm enough and he will be ready for a new home once he has sufficiently healed. This is a very docile boy with show experience from 2008. He can go as a companion to any of our other goats for sale from our herd or he can go to another solid, experienced home with other goats of his size.
Yoohoo has been disbudded and as always, our whole herd tested negative for CAE, CL, and Johne's in August 2008. All our goats come from only trusted, negative-tested herds with test results always provided to the buyer.

SilverAurora TH Xudan *S
We are offering one of our coming two-year-old bucks for sale. Xudan is a purebred, dairy buck dual-registered in AGS & ADGA. He was shown under both dairy organizations in 2008 and received some very nice compliments from all 5 judges. Under three of the judges, he placed first in all his classes. He placed third and fourth under two other judges, but has never placed last in any of his classes. With any luck, he will have his second set of kids on the ground later this year.
Sire is Jobi LA Thunder *S *B
Dam is ARMCH Sandy Hills Hollow KF Sayil 3*D 2*M
Xudan's paternal uncle, one of our herdsires, is a new Master Champion in AGS (MCH Sandy Hollow UK Chesire Cat *S *B).
Xudan is an excellent buck for improving the milking genetics in your herd. He has been disbudded and as always, our whole herd tested negative for CAE, CL, and Johne's in August 2008. All our goats come from only negative-tested, trusted herds.

This boy is a very nice buck born last year. We are able to part with him because we have several other bucks to cover our girls for this season so we wouldn't be using him for a while. Additionally, we already own his paternal half-brother and maternal half-uncle. We can afford to keep him and wait to use him next year, however, so we will be very picky about where he can go. Under no circumstances will we send him to a herd where he is the only boy (he needs a whether or nice buck of similar size/weight as a companion).--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We pet, farm, house, & barn sit! We know you don't want to needlessly stress out your animals while you're away! Don't board them out, let us pet, farm, house, and barn sit for you! We are a responsible, professional, drug-free, alcohol-free, non-smoking, married couple with experience handling pets and livestock (cats, dogs, fish, turtles, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, horses, goats, ducks, chickens, turkeys, etc.).
In addition to the basics of watching and securing your property, collecting mail and newspapers, watering plants, opening and closing window coverings, turning lights on and off, and tidying up, we can feed and medicate animals, clean litterboxes, collect eggs, milk goats, handle animals for the veterinarian and farrier, rotate turn-out, blanket animals, check fences, and more! We are familiar with off-grid power systems and wood stoves and we're also willing to learn with new animals and tasks. Your animals will be much more comfortable at home, on their same diets and routines, and you'll know everything is safe and secure.
Let us give you peace of mind while you're away. We're experienced and have references. Email us your approximate location, the month of absence (for your protection, please do not send your exact dates until we connect!), and a summary of your needs. If you have a budget in mind, please include this in your email. We'll do our best to help!

Need help setting up the perfect area for your new animals? We're always learning from our peers and we hope we can pass what we learn on to others to benefit their stock. If you would like to schedule a free site visit for a friendly chat and some helpful advice, please contact us. We can offer tips on general lay-out considering drainage, wind, and weather, shelters (stalls, barns, and lean-tos), turn-out pens (pastures or dry lots), feed storage, milking parlors, and general animal husbandry. We're also especially experienced at planning and building fencing (particularly electric horse fencing). At least we can welcome you to the community and put you in touch with others with common interests in your locale!
