By placing a reservation or purchasing from us, you agree to the following:
No refunds or returns of any kind will be accepted. We stand by our offerings and want buyers to be happy, but as soon as animals or products leave our hands, whatever happens to them is out of our control. There are too many risks involved with accepting returns that might have been mistreated, infected, or tampered with once off our property.
All products are ungraded & uninspected, and we are not liable for damages or held responsible for their safety. We do not assume liability for adverse reactions to foods consumed, or items one may come into contact with while visiting our farm.
Our store offers products that contain honey, fruits, vegetables, tree nuts, milk, eggs, and wheat. While we take steps to minimize the risk of cross-contamination, we cannot guarantee that any of our products are safe to consume for people with honey, fruit, vegetable, tree nut, milk, egg, wheat, or any other allergies or sensitivities.
Our store offers canned goods that have been processed according to USDA food safety guidelines, but we cannot guarantee that contamination has not occurred. Consume at your own risk.
First and foremost, ALL SALES FINAL - no refunds or returns of any kind will be accepted. We stand by our offerings and want buyers to be happy, but as soon as animals or products leave our hands, whatever happens to them is out of our control. There are too many risks involved with accepting returns that might have been mistreated, infected, or tampered with once off our property.
Common question: why do hatching eggs cost more than ones for eating? We test fertility weekly and sometimes even daily, which involves opening and destroying multiple eggs to check for rings. We also take the time to turn them daily to prevent the embryos from sticking to the sides, and always provide the freshest ones available for hatching. For table eggs, we do the opposite - we sell them from oldest to newest and don't pay attention to fertility or which breed laid which egg.
We are cleared to send to almost every US state. Please check this link to see if there are special regulations in your state. We would provide a VS Form 9-3 and are AI Clean.
We ship hatching eggs Monday-Tuesday after payment is received. If we see that the weather is too hot/cold or if we notice issues with hens or their fertility, we might delay shipment in order to help you get the best possible hatch rate.
Please note that we cannot guarantee hatchability - shipped eggs have a 0%-100% hatch rate, based on how they're handled in transit. Even eggs driven a few minutes in our/your car might end up being jostled too much. If transported eggs don't hatch, it does NOT mean they're not fertile or are old - it just means that they were overly stressed during travel. Transporting eggs is a gamble, which is part of why they're so much cheaper than live birds.
Depending on packaging availability and size/amount of eggs, we either use foam shippers or individually wrap each egg in bubble wrap surrounded by wood shavings. If you have a preference of shipping method, please let us know and we will do our best to accommodate.
Shipping charges are dependent on USPS prices and the cost of supplies. Right now, it looks like it will be around $25-35 for packaging & a Priority box, which comfortably fits 1-2 dozen chicken eggs. Priority Express would be about $75-100. We do not bother with fragile stickers or other labels because USPS just ignores them or purposely treats them worse.
First and foremost, ALL SALES FINAL - no refunds or returns of any kind will be accepted. We stand by our offerings and want buyers to be happy, but as soon as animals or products leave our hands, whatever happens to them is out of our control. There are too many risks involved with accepting returns that might have been mistreated, infected, or tampered with once off our property.
Due to the amount of cancellations after people have asked us to hatch or hold birds for them, a non-refundable deposit is required to reserve or hold any bird that has hatched or is about to hatch. Deposits are non-refundable for any reason UNLESS enough of your chosen breed(s) have failed to hatch, or your chosen bird(s) have passed away here in our care, or we notice something wrong with the bird(s). If that is the case, we will provide the option to either refund the missing count, substitute with a different bird of the same value, or hold your deposit for the next hatch. Each hatch takes 21-35 days, depending on species.
Our birds are cleared to transport to almost every US state. Please check this link to see if there are special regulations in your state. We would provide a VS Form 9-3 and are AI Clean.
We tried shipping live birds through USPS again in 2024, but it did not go well - they couldn't even deliver one state over via Priority within 4 days. We had to pay Express to get 3 Day delivery from WI to MI, and our local USPS hub was pretty aggressive in trying to convince us not to ship live birds. So from now on, we're going back to local meetups, livestock transport arranged by the customer, OR SpeeDee Delivery for deliveries in the Midwest.
Buyer is responsible for arranging transportation of all live animals. A $1 per day boarding fee will apply if a purchased animal is not picked up at the arranged-upon time. We are willing to meet within a half hour of Mishicot, Wisconsin, for free. We'd be happy to make further deliveries with a delivery charge of $1 per mile for the round trip. That is about the price of gas for our truck. We've also worked with a few livestock transporters. Click here for our favorites. They are not cheap, but take excellent care of the critters in their care.
We personally do not vaccinate our birds, but we do offer the optional Marek's vaccine to buyers of chicks. We do not administer it by default and our parent stock are not vaccinated. It costs an additional $75 per hatch (the vial is around $35, shipping to us is around $35, and injection supplies are around $5). If we receive multiple orders for vaccinated chicks, we try to group those hatches together and spread the cost between buyers, meaning that we would be able to partially refund the vaccine cost.
Our sponsors and advisors with decades of experience VERY strongly encourage the Marek's vaccine because the disease is absolutely devastating and basically unavoidable, especially if birds regularly travel to shows or if owners attend sale barns or swap meets.
There are a couple downsides to the Marek's vaccine which have caused us to decline using it in our flocks. One is that the specific vaccine we have access to has been around since the 70s and is only about 60% effective against some strains of the disease. The second issue is the way ALL current Marek's vaccines work - they are all "leaky," which means that they do not prevent a chicken from being infected with the disease; they only keep tumor formation and other symptoms from popping up. So if Marek's does invade a person's vaccinated flock, they might never know about it and become super spreaders, because the vaccine only prevents symptoms, not the actual disease itself. That's the main reason we don't use it - we want to make sure our birds don't have any hidden illnesses that could be passed on to our customers.
We do have access to a few other vaccines and are willing to administer them upon request. Buyer would need to pay the full nonrefundable balance up front. These include Mycoplasma Gallisepticum, Fowl Pox, Coccidiosis, Newcastle, Salmonella, and Coryza. Some of these are not safe to use around turkeys, though, so please research them before purchase.
Since even day-old chicks of autosexing breeds can be guessed wrong 10-20% of the time and we definitely aren't brave enough to vent sex because it kills about 10% of babies even when performed by trained experts, we cannot guarantee gender accuracy and are unable to refund, replace, or take back the animal if we're wrong. Some (we’re looking at you, Ameraucanas) might take a few months to confirm, and one (Tufted Romans) we still can't figure out without DNA sexing or watching an egg actually leave their body.
If you end up with an unwanted male and don't want to process him yourselves, we recommend contacting any Amish, Hispanic, or Asian communities that might be near you, or even possibly large reptile or raptor owners or rescues. There are a lot of rooster rescues out there who will let them live out their days, as well.
Due to the nature of our offerings, we cannot guarantee health or viability of any animals once they leave our property, and all sales are final. We are part of the National Poultry Improvement Plan and annually test for Pullorum-Typhoid and Avian Influenza. In order to maintain our NPIP status and for the biosecurity of our flocks, we do not allow visits to our poultry areas or allow purchasers to select birds from our brooders, but we will gladly take photos/videos upon request. We maintain mostly closed flocks, with the exception of occasional new birds brought in from other NPIP farms to minimize inbreeding. These are strictly quarantined for 1-2 months after purchase.
We do not have access to an avian vet who can draw blood for us, so we do not regularly test for other diseases unless a bird has died of unexplained causes. If we suspect an illness, we send samples to the University of Wisconsin's accredited lab for testing. We last submitted a bird October 2022. She came back clear of AI and the necropsy showed egg yolk peritonitis from e-coli and a small amount of coccidia. In March 2022, another bird was submitted and cleared of AI and Mycoplasma. She had bronchitis due to staph. We would be happy to provide copies of the reports.
All of our animals are from the very best lines we could find, with many exhibition winners in their gene pool, and we do our best to adhere to the Standard of Perfection laid out by the American Poultry Association and/or specific breed clubs. This does NOT guarantee that our animals or any of their offspring will be show quality or win awards. About 1 in 100 birds that hatch for even elite Master Breeders would be considered exhibition quality. That's just how the lottery of genetics works. In order to be fully transparent, we have listed flaws that we've noticed and are working towards correcting in the pages for each breed we raise.
We cannot guarantee that your birds will lay a certain color. There is a spectrum of approved colors for each breed, and each bird lays a slightly different egg. Color, shape, and size vary through each season and even from day to day.
First and foremost, ALL SALES FINAL - no refunds or returns of any kind will be accepted. We stand by our offerings and want buyers to be happy, but as soon as animals or products leave our hands, whatever happens to them is out of our control. There are too many risks involved with accepting returns that might have been mistreated, infected, or tampered with once off our property. However, we do make one exception noted in our Health & Viability Disclaimer below.
We reserve the right to cancel a sale at any time, for any reason, at our discretion. Any deposits will be refunded in full if we choose to cancel a sale.
We reserve the right to collect up to 30 straws from any intact buck that we sell, at any time during his life, for the cost of collection.
We reserve the right of first refusal - if you have bought one of our goats and plan to sell them, we request dibs on the right to buy them back. We won't always be able to do it depending where we are in life and how full our herd is, but we ask for the opportunity.
Priority for sales is given to Performance Herds. This means that if a Performance Herd expresses interest in a goat that other people have also asked us about, they will get dibs UNLESS that goat has already been reserved with a deposit. Order of priority is: us > paid reservations > performance herds > waitlist > general public.
In addition, for each registered JKHerdItAll or JKShrunkTheKids goat born in 2024 or 2025, we are offering to pay the original buyer $50 for the first awarded milk star, linear appraisal, and/or sanctioned show award that the goat receives in the original buyer’s care, for a possible total of $150 per Oberhasli or Guernsey, or $100 per Mini Nubian (Mini Nubians unfortunately aren’t eligible for Linear Appraisal).
At pick-up, we request cash, PayPal Friends & Family, Venmo Friends & Family, or Zelle for the balance due. Balances due must be paid in full before the animal leaves our property. No checks will be accepted. We ask for Friends & Family after hearing horror stories of customers using the Purchase Protection option and then getting PayPal & Venmo to refund them after they have already taken the animal. We can't afford that.
If you want to be notified when/if a goat is available, ask us about our free waitlist. We will contact people on that list one by one as animals become available. If you're a Performance Herd, let us know and we'll bump you to the top of the list.
If you want to purchase a goat that isn't ready to leave yet or that you're not ready to pick up, ask us about placing a $100 deposit to reserve the goat. This holds the animal until they or you are ready, and we will stop advertising that animal. Must be 18 years or older to place a deposit.
A deposit is NOT required to purchase an animal from us. If you want to wait and pay in full, that is completely acceptable in this day & age of scammers - please just note that we will keep advertising the animal and it is first come, first serve without a deposit.
Deposits are non-refundable for any reason UNLESS we are unable to meet the specifications listed when that deposit was made. If we are unable to meet the specs, at your request, we can either refund your deposit, apply it to a different animal, or hold it for the next year.
If an animal meeting your specs is available and you decide that you do not want that one for any reason, your deposit is forfeited. If you have paid a deposit on a kid and have not picked them up by 10 weeks of age or arranged a pick-up date with us, your deposit is forfeited and we will resume advertising of that kid.
Cash, PayPal Friends & Family, Venmo Friends & Family, and Zelle are our preferred method of payment for deposits, but we also accept orders on our site. Sorry, no checks. We ask for Friends & Family after hearing horror stories of customers using the Purchase Protection option and then getting PayPal & Venmo to refund them after they have already taken the animal. We can't afford that.
The buyer is responsible for pick-up/transportation. If any vet exams or certificates are required to cross state lines, the buyer will pay for those before they take place.
If a reserved goat kid is not picked up by 10 weeks of age, a $3/day boarding fee will apply. If not picked up by an agreed-upon date, the buyer will forfeit any deposit and the animal will be the sole property of JK Herd It All to retain or sell, unless other arrangements are made.
We are happy to work with transporters coordinated by the buyer. Please be careful who you trust - there are a lot of fake or shady ones out there. View recommended transport options here.
Please remember that as soon as an animal or product leave our hands, whatever happens to them is out of our control and we cannot be held liable for them. There are too many risks involved with accepting returns that might have been mistreated, infected, or tampered with once off our property.
All of our goats have originated from clean-tested herds and have themselves tested free while on our farm of the Big 3 Diseases (CAE, CL, and Johne's), but because we brought in a few new herd members recently, all kids intended for sale will be bottle fed and kept on a separate pasture for the next few years. This helps to prevent the spread of undiagnosed disease.
If you would prefer a dam-raised kid, we would be happy to recommend some of our friends!
If kept on a bottle, most kids are ready to head to their new home by 4-5 weeks. If not picked up by 10 weeks, a $3/day boarding fee will apply.
All kids will be disbudded unless buyer pays full price within 5 days of birth - there is a very short window to safely disbud, and horned dairy goats are unfortunately difficult to find homes for.
Please note that disbudding can result in scurs, especially in bucks. We have it done by a vet with decades of goat experience, but it still happens sometimes. Many of our goats brought in from top herds around the country have ended up with scurs, too. It's just a thing to live with.
All kids will receive ear tattoos, and we also offer $15 tail web microchips upon request.
We will send in DNA orders to ADGA for buck kids intended for registration for free. For other registries, we can do it if buyer pays cost. It's something like $35 in 2024.
For kids intended for registration, we offer to submit online ADGA, MDGA, and/or BGS registration applications & transfers for free. We would need the buyer's full name, registry ID, phone number, email, and address to complete the transfer. If a buyer prefers to submit paper applications themselves, we can provide those instead. MDGA kids can be registered with TMGR by their new owners, by submitting an application along with a copy of the MDGA certificate.
Wethers and Pet Only goats will be sold without registry papers or applications.
We are dedicated to maintaining our herds and land as naturally as possible, but have come to terms with the fact that Wisconsin is not a natural environment for goats, and they sometimes need help thriving here.
After struggling with both clostridium and pneumonia in 2023 and then pneumonia and suspected clostridium again in 2024, we have decided to vaccinate our goats for both. We feel that an annual shot and squirt up the nose are a lot less detrimental than both of these very common infections and weeks of painful, often ineffective treatments.
We vaccinate our keepers with Cavalry 9 for clostridium/tetanus and Nasalgen 3 PMH IN for pneumonia.
We realize that this is a very personal choice, so we only vaccinate our keepers and not goats that we've listed for sale, unless requested. Kids will inherit some immunity from their dams and will be able to be vaccinated upon arrival at your farm. If you would like us to vaccinate a kid, we would be more than happy to do it for you, but only upon request.
Buyer has the option at the time of pick up to refuse the animal if they feel that the animal is not healthy. We cannot warrant the health status of an animal after it leaves our property. All sales are final. Taking an animal off our property implies that you have read and agreed to the sales agreement and are satisfied with the condition of the animal.
Stress can be rough on them and they can go downhill quickly. Something like shipping fever can infect and kill a kid within a few hours. Therefore, unfortunately, we can offer no warranties or guarantees on the health & viability of an animal. However, we do make one exception: if an animal sold as registered breeding stock is found by a licensed veterinarian to have a genetic condition preventing use in breeding, we will refund or replace that animal. Cosmetic conditions that might negatively affect the quality of the animals or their offspring do not apply; only conditions that prevent successful mating and raising of kids; such as hermaphroditism, freemartinism, or extra teats or orifices that we might have missed. We always check, but it can be hard to tell when they're kids!
Our goat herd is tested annually for CAE, CL, and Johne's. If any other tests are requested, we are happy to administer them if the purchaser pays.
As a parasite preventative, we treat our goats holistically with herbal products from Fir Meadows, Land of Havillah, BiteMe Treats, and VermOust whenever possible. We also use Bioworma, which helps to kill worms on the pasture. We run fecals on our whole herd three times per year, and more for individuals as needed. If herbal preventatives don't seem to be working on an individual goat, we will call our vet and use Western medicine.
Most healthy goats on pasture are able to handle small parasite loads, and some studies actually show that having parasites in low numbers keeps the immune system functioning well. But when a goat is stressed, those parasites can grow out of control. We highly, highly recommend running a fecal a week or two after picking up a new goat & treating if there is a heavy parasite load.
If we have sold a bred doe, we cannot guarantee that she will settle or will carry live, healthy kids to term. Goats don't handle stress well, and moving is stressful.
If we have sold a doe in milk, we cannot guarantee that she will stay in milk after she moves or that her quantity will remain the same. Again, goats + stress = unpredictable outcomes. Different management styles result in different production, too.
All of our animals are from the very best lines we could find, with many milk award and exhibition winners in their gene pool. This does NOT guarantee that our animals or any of their offspring will be show quality or win awards, or have amazing milk production or udders. That's just how the lottery of genetics works. In order to be fully transparent, we have listed flaws that we've noticed and are working towards correcting in each of our animals.Also, each farm is different and will be able to get different production levels out of an individual goat. What our goats produce here at our farm might not be what they produce at another. We cannot guarantee certain production amounts, even though we have data showing our girls' milk here.

We’re excited to announce that our poultry pricing for 2025 will remain the same as it was in 2024 and most of 2023!
We are part of NPIP and certified free from PT and HPAI, and we are cleared to ship hatching eggs to almost every US state - some require individual import permits that we can work on as needed.
Because USPS has gotten worse again, we can only ship live chicks via Spee-Dee Delivery to areas that they service. We’ve received chicks using them but never sent through them, so it’ll be a learning experience!
Svart Honas are laying well, Buckeyes are SO close to having shippable numbers, Chanteclers seem to be slow dragging again but at least one is laying now, our one & only Welsummer is laying, and we found out today that both Ameraucana pens are eating their eggs again, so we’ll be setting up rollout nest boxes for them… again. Sigh.
Nothing yet from the ducks, geese, or guineas!

Our teeny Daisy wasn’t handling quarantine alone super well, even though she could still see & talk to a bunch of other goats a few feet away, so we gave her a sacrificial buddy yesterday! She’s a whole lot happier now, although her new buddy still isn’t quite sure about her yet 😅 One day, maybe we’ll manage to get a clear photo of them together!

We can’t get a clear pic yet because this baby has the post-travel zoomies, but Daisy, our newest Guernsey, is here!
Thank you to @meadowlarkheritagefarm for trusting us with her, and as always, thank you to @medicinemountainpettransport for taking such great care of our critters 💜

We’re finally trying out the aquarium pump hack that Kathy at A Better Way uses for cleaning milk machine hoses - it’s working really well! We’ve got the pump in our Super Ultra Mega Shopping List on our site (link in bio), but any 800+ gph one will work!

This pic looks kinda dirty, but we wanted to show an example of something to watch out for 😅
When breeding animals, especially registered ones, it’s important to check them over for faults. This doe has a partial extra orifice - it doesn’t produce milk, at least not yet, and appears to just be cosmetic. Extra orifices like this are a tough one because they might not be visible until the doe freshens for the first time!
We notified her breeder, and this girl is going to a pet home. Her kids are also up for grabs heavily discounted as pets!
We’re not saying who the doe is on this post, because her breeder is awesome and these things just happen sometimes, even with the best of genetics.

A couple of our chicken pens are now laying well enough to start testing fertility! First are the Svart Honas - these birds, also called Swedish Black Hens, are a highly endangered landrace and are believed to be descendants of Ayam Cemani.
Being a naturally selected landrace and not a manmade breed, there is a bit more variation in their traits right now. The organization monitoring them allows defects that would be considered cullable in Ayam Cemani - they are allowed to have mulberry wattles, floppy combs as long as their eyes aren`t covered, and blue or black ears.
Traits that ARE cullable are white toe tips, raspberry combs or wattles, pink mouths, light eyes, and any white feathering. We are still working some of these out of our flock - we believe we caught the culprit producing white feathers and raspberry combs, but some of our chicks might still come out with white toe tips or pink mouths. Most are a nice, solid black now, though! The Svart Hona melanistic genes are reportedly more complicated than the Ayam Cemani ones, so it`s a work in progress!

We present to you the business ends of the Round 1 girls so far! Most still have a bit of edema to work through and two are FFs that are still developing, so there will be lots of changes as the season progresses. We like keeping a record of these changes!

And the girls! They were even worse than the boys - all they wanted to do was get in their photographer’s face 🤣
Honey’s daughter is tentatively up for grabs to a pet home due to her super mild underbite, and Vera’s little polled girl is also available.
It’s looking like both of Vera’s kids will unfortunately lose part of their ears to frostbite - we looked for labor every .5-1 hour, but she must’ve kidded super quickly right after one of the checks 🙃

We made our first attempt at individual pics of this round of kids - some cooperated, others not so much 🤣
First up, here are the remaining boys! Two Obers went to their new home today. Almost all of these guys are up for grabs - the polled black one is pending and we’re holding onto one of Raindrop’s sons for now. We’ll add deets to each pic on our FB page, or feel free to contact us for more info!

Someone gave us this StirMate for Christmas, and we’re trying it for the first time today! It’s an automated stirrer that will hopefully help keep milk from burning to the bottom of the pasteurizer 🙏
We choose to pasteurize our milk, at least for the next few years. After each of our does have gotten 3 clean health tests here, we might change our minds, but Jess has immunity issues from Ehlers Danlos and there would still be a risk of contaminants like E. Coli.
So for now, we pasteurize! There are a few methods, but we like one of the most easy-on-milk ones: Low Temperature, Long Time (LTLT) - we heat milk to around 140°F and hold it there for about a half hour.

Farming unfortunately isn’t all fun & games - we’ve got our first loss of the season 💔
Vivi’s boy just wasn’t quite right - he looked like he had scoliosis and his digestive system didn’t seem to be working - we had to tube feed him and found out that there was still milk in his stomach hours after it should have been digested. The poor little guy passed sometime last night.

Not to be outdone, while we were taking care of Gazelle and her kids, Cornerstone Farm Miss Vivi went into labor with CA Blackberry BQ Encore’s ginormous buckling 5 days late! Jess had to reach in and fish out a leg because his big fat head presented first and he was stuck (goat kids should ideally come out in a Superman pose).
Both of this guy’s parents are covered in moonspots, but he doesn’t seem to have a single one. He is on our keeper list as a backup to Encore!
2025 Tally So Far: 11 bucks, 6 does 🙃
We get a bit of a break to recuperate until the next round of kidding begins 3/19 ish!

A buck and doe for Autumn-Acres GT Gazelle & Sublime OBV Son of a Sinner! Gazelle kidded fashionably late again, 3 days after her due date this time.
The buckling is up for grabs as market/pet and the doeling will be offered unregistered to people who promise to stay in contact - we want to see if Gazelle’s weird hormonal flaky skin thing is hereditary.

We tried out our new Coburn lambar today, and it’s a hit! Now we just have to convince the kids to spread out and use the other one instead of squishing onto just the one 😅
We’ll be splitting up the bucks & does today, so that’ll help!

Following what seems to be our trend for the year, two bucks and a doe for Soaring Heart’s Raindrop and Foggy Fork Farm Hot Shot! She’s the first we’ve had to help a bit this season, when the last two kids tried to come out together.
These pics are even worse than usual because we had to rush before work 😅
One buck has blue eyes, a cute blaze, and a moonspot inside a brown spot on his back. The next buck also has blue eyes but no moonspots at first glance - we’ll look harder later! The doe has adorable moonspot pantaloons and is our second official retainee for the year 😍
Raindrop’s udder is really, really nice so far, and as long as it holds up, we’d consider these boys herdsire material. We’ll see how she matures over the next couple months - if they go before then, they’ll make super cute pets!
2025 Tally So Far: 9 Bucks, 5 Does

Next on the watchlist due this weekend are Raindrop (still), Gazelle, and Vivi! We’re not entirely sure that Vivi is still pregnant - she definitely was, but is showing zero signs that she still is, and we’re afraid to bump her in case it dislodges any kids that are there. We could do another blood test, but results would take a few days. We’ll find out soon enough!

Two bucks and a doe for Green Gables SOF Penny Candy & Foggy Fork Farm Hot Shot! One buck is brown and covered in moonspots, one is black with a partial white belt, and the doe is black with frosted ears and two little moonspots 😍
The doeling stays and both bucks are up for grabs - they will inherit their *B if registered. One might be polled - we’ll be able to tell after they’re finished drying!

Jess came out of the milk parlor to find two bucks and a teeny doe (left to right in the video) out of Foggy Fork Farm HoneyPot of Gold and Storybook’s Denarius! One buck and the doe inherited Denarius’ chocolate genetics and the big boy is a beefy blonde copy of Honey 💛
Both bucks will be up for grabs and the doe is retained for now! She has a super mild underbite, so we’ll see how that grows out before we make any decisions about her.
2025 Tally So Far: 5 Bucks, 3 Does
