By placing a reservation or completing a purchase with us, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to the following terms:
All sales are final. No refunds or returns of any kind will be accepted. Once an animal or product leaves our care, its condition, handling, and outcome are beyond our control. For biosecurity, animal welfare, and safety reasons, we do not accept returns under any circumstances.
Food & Product Disclaimer: All products are sold ungraded and uninspected unless otherwise stated. We are not liable for any damages, injuries, or adverse reactions resulting from the consumption or use of our products, or from contact with items or environments on our farm.
Our products may contain or come into contact with honey, fruits, vegetables, tree nuts, milk, eggs, wheat, and other potential allergens. While we take reasonable steps to reduce the risk of cross-contamination, we cannot guarantee that any product is free from allergens. Individuals with allergies or sensitivities should not consume our products.
Canned goods are processed using methods intended to comply with USDA food safety guidelines. However, home-processed foods inherently carry risk, and we cannot guarantee the absence of contamination. Consumption is at the buyer’s own risk.
All sales are final. No refunds or returns of any kind will be accepted. While we stand behind our animals and products and want buyers to be satisfied, once an animal or item leaves our care, its condition and handling are beyond our control. For biosecurity, safety, and welfare reasons, we do not accept returns under any circumstances.
Why do hatching eggs cost more than table eggs? Hatching eggs require significantly more labor and monitoring. We regularly test fertility, which involves opening and discarding eggs to check for development. Hatching eggs are turned daily to prevent embryos from adhering to the shell and are selected for freshness and fertility. In contrast, table eggs are sold from oldest to newest and are not sorted by fertility or breed.
We are approved to ship hatching eggs to most U.S. states. Please check this link to confirm any state-specific requirements. When required, we provide VS Form 9-3 and maintain AI Clean status.
Hatching eggs are shipped Monday through Tuesday after payment is received. Shipment may be delayed due to extreme temperatures, hen health concerns, or fertility issues. These decisions are made to improve the likelihood of a successful hatch.
Hatchability is not guaranteed. Shipped eggs can have a hatch rate anywhere from 0% to 100%, depending entirely on how they are handled during transit. Even short car rides can cause sufficient jostling to disrupt embryo development. A poor hatch does not indicate that eggs were infertile or old, only that they experienced stress during transport. Shipping eggs always carries inherent risk, which is reflected in their pricing compared to live birds.
Packaging methods vary depending on egg size, quantity, and material availability. Eggs are shipped using either foam shippers or individual bubble wrapping with wood shavings for cushioning. If you have a packaging preference, please let us know and we will accommodate when possible.
Shipping costs are based on current USPS rates and packaging materials. Typical costs are approximately $25–35 for Priority shipping with packaging, which fits 1–2 dozen chicken eggs. Priority Express generally ranges from $75–100. We do not use fragile stickers or special labels, as USPS handling practices do not reliably honor them.
All sales are final. No refunds or returns of any kind will be accepted. While we stand behind our animals and products and want buyers to be satisfied, once an animal or item leaves our care, its handling and condition are beyond our control. For biosecurity, safety, and animal welfare reasons, we do not accept returns under any circumstances.
Due to frequent cancellations after requests to hatch or hold birds, a non-refundable deposit is required to reserve or hold any bird that has hatched or is about to hatch. Deposits are non-refundable except in the following situations: if an sufficient number of your selected breed fails to hatch, if a reserved bird passes away while still in our care, or if we identify a health concern prior to pickup. In those cases, buyers may choose a refund for the unavailable birds, substitution with birds of equal value, or application of the deposit to a future hatch. Hatch timelines typically range from 21–35 days, depending on species.
Our birds are approved for transport to most U.S. states. Please check this link for any state-specific requirements. When required, we provide VS Form 9-3 documentation and maintain AI Clean status.
We no longer ship live birds via USPS due to repeated delivery delays and reliability concerns. Live bird transport is available through local meetups, livestock transport arranged by the buyer, or SpeeDee Delivery for eligible Midwest locations.
The buyer is responsible for arranging transportation of all live animals. A boarding fee of $1 per day will apply if an animal is not picked up at the agreed-upon time. We are happy to meet within 30 minutes of Mishicot, Wisconsin, at no charge. Additional delivery beyond this area is available for $1 per mile round trip to help offset fuel costs. We have also worked with several trusted livestock transporters. Click here for our recommended transporters. While they are not inexpensive, they provide excellent care for animals in transit.
We do not routinely vaccinate our own birds. However, we do offer the Marek’s vaccine as an optional add-on for buyers purchasing chicks. It is not administered by default, and our parent stock is not vaccinated.
The Marek’s vaccine is offered at an additional cost of $75 per hatch. This covers the vaccine vial, overnight shipping to us, and injection supplies. When multiple buyers request vaccinated chicks from the same hatch, we make every effort to group those orders together and may be able to partially refund vaccine costs accordingly.
Experienced breeders and poultry advisors often recommend the Marek’s vaccine due to the severity of the disease and its widespread presence, particularly for birds that may attend shows, swap meets, or other events where exposure risk is higher.
Our decision not to vaccinate our own flocks is based on personal management preferences. Current Marek’s vaccines reduce the likelihood of clinical symptoms but do not fully prevent infection or transmission. Because of this, we prefer to monitor our birds closely for visible signs of illness rather than rely on symptom suppression. This approach helps us ensure transparency regarding the health of birds leaving our care.
We also have access to several additional poultry vaccines and are willing to administer them upon request. These vaccines require full, non-refundable payment in advance. Available options include Mycoplasma Gallisepticum, Fowl Pox, Coccidiosis, Newcastle, Salmonella, and Coryza. Some vaccines are not safe for use around turkeys, so buyers are responsible for researching compatibility before requesting vaccination.
While we make our best effort to estimate sex, we cannot guarantee gender accuracy. Even in autosexing breeds, day-old chicks can be incorrectly sexed approximately 10–20% of the time. We do not vent sex chicks, as the procedure carries a significant risk of injury or death even when performed by trained professionals. For these reasons, we are unable to offer refunds, replacements, or returns if an animal is incorrectly sexed.
Some breeds may take several months to reliably confirm sex, and certain breeds may require DNA testing or observation of egg-laying to determine sex with certainty.
If you receive an unwanted male and do not wish to process him yourself, we recommend contacting local livestock communities, farm families, or specialty animal owners who may be able to rehome him. There are also rooster rescues that accept males and allow them to live out their natural lives.
Due to the nature of livestock sales, we cannot guarantee the health or viability of any animal once it leaves our property, and all sales are final. We participate in the National Poultry Improvement Plan (NPIP) and complete annual testing for Pullorum-Typhoid and Avian Influenza.
To maintain our NPIP status and uphold strict biosecurity standards, we do not allow visitors into poultry areas or permit buyers to select birds directly from brooders. We are happy to provide photos or videos of available birds upon request. Our flocks are primarily closed, with occasional additions from other NPIP-certified farms to prevent inbreeding. Any incoming birds are strictly quarantined for a minimum of one to two months.
We do not have routine access to an avian veterinarian for on-site blood draws and therefore do not conduct additional disease testing unless there is a specific cause for concern. If illness or unexplained loss is suspected, samples are submitted to an accredited laboratory for diagnostic testing. Documentation from prior testing is available upon request.
We carefully select breeding stock from strong, well-established lines, many with exhibition winners in their pedigrees, and strive to adhere to the American Poultry Association Standard of Perfection and applicable breed club guidelines. However, this does not guarantee that any individual animal or its offspring will be show quality or earn awards.
Even among elite breeding programs, only a small percentage of birds produced will meet true exhibition standards. This variation is an inherent part of genetics and cannot be predicted or guaranteed.
In the interest of transparency, we openly list known faults or areas we are actively working to improve on each breed’s individual page. Our breeding goals focus on long-term improvement and responsible stewardship of each breed rather than guaranteed show outcomes.
We cannot guarantee specific egg color, shade, shape, or size. Each breed produces a range of approved egg colors, and individual birds may lay slightly different eggs. Egg characteristics can vary by season, age of the bird, diet, and even from day to day.
All sales are final. No refunds or returns of any kind will be accepted. While we stand behind our animals and want buyers to be satisfied, once an animal leaves our care, its handling and condition are beyond our control. For biosecurity, safety, and animal welfare reasons, we do not accept returns.
The sole exception to this policy, as outlined in our Health & Viability Disclaimer, is if a goat is found to have a congenital defect that permanently prevents use in breeding (such as intersex status or additional orifices). In such cases, we will offer either a refund of the difference between breeding and pet pricing or a replacement, at our discretion.
Right of First Refusal: We reserve the right of first refusal on any goat bred by us. If you plan to sell a goat purchased from us, we request the opportunity to buy them back before they are offered elsewhere. This applies only if the goat has remained in quarantine and/or the buyer’s herd has tested negative for CAE, CL, and Johne’s. While we may not always be able to exercise this right due to herd capacity or life circumstances, we ask to be given the option.
Seller’s Right to Cancel: 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.
Semen Retention Clause: We reserve the right to collect up to 30 semen straws from any intact buck sold by us, at any point during his lifetime, at the cost of collection only.
Sales Priority: Priority is given to Performance Herds. If multiple parties express interest in the same goat, priority is as follows:
Us > Paid reservations > Performance Herds > Waitlist > General public.
Priority applies unless a goat has already been reserved with a deposit.
Performance Incentive: For each registered JKHerdItAll or JKShrunkTheKids goa, we offer the original buyer a $50 incentive for each of the following achievements earned while in the buyer’s care:
Payment at Pickup: Accepted forms of payment for balances due are cash, PayPal Friends & Family, Venmo Friends & Family, or Zelle. Full payment must be received before any animal leaves our care. We do not accept checks. Friends & Family payment methods are required due to the risk of chargebacks after animals have been transferred.
If you would like to be notified when a goat becomes available, please ask about our free waitlist. We contact individuals on the waitlist in order as animals become available. Performance Herds receive priority placement on the waitlist.
If you wish to purchase a goat that is not yet ready to leave or if you are not ready for pickup, a deposit may be placed to reserve the animal. A deposit removes the animal from active advertising and holds it until pickup. Deposits may only be placed by individuals 18 years of age or older.
Deposits are not required to purchase an animal. Buyers may choose to wait and pay in full at pickup; however, animals without a deposit will continue to be advertised and are sold on a first come, first served basis.
Deposit Policy: Deposits are non-refundable except in the event that we are unable to meet the specifications agreed upon at the time the deposit was placed. If we are unable to meet those specifications, buyers may choose to receive a refund, apply the deposit toward a different animal, or roll the deposit forward to the following year.
If an animal meeting the agreed-upon specifications becomes available and the buyer declines it for any reason, the deposit is forfeited. Additionally, if a deposit has been placed on a kid and pickup has not occurred or been scheduled by 10 weeks of age, the deposit will be forfeited and the animal will be returned to active advertising.
Accepted payment methods for deposits include cash, PayPal Friends & Family, Venmo Friends & Family, and Zelle. We do not accept checks. Friends & Family payment methods are required due to the risk of chargebacks after livestock has been transferred.
Pickup & Transportation: The buyer is responsible for arranging pickup and transportation of all animals. If veterinary examinations, health certificates, or other documentation are required for interstate transport, all associated costs must be paid by the buyer prior to completion.
If a reserved goat kid is not picked up by 10 weeks of age, a boarding fee of $3 per day will apply. If the animal is not picked up by an agreed-upon date and no alternative arrangements have been made, the buyer will forfeit any deposit and the animal will revert to the sole property of JK Herd It All to retain or resell.
We are willing to work with livestock transporters arranged by the buyer. However, we reserve the right to refuse coordination with any transporter at our discretion. View our recommended transport options here.
Transfer of Responsibility: Once an animal or product leaves our care, all responsibility transfers to the buyer. We cannot guarantee condition, health, or viability after pickup or transport and cannot be held liable for any outcomes thereafter. For biosecurity and safety reasons, returns are not accepted.
All of our goats originate from herds tested free of the “Big 3” diseases (CAE, CL, and Johne’s), and all goats on our farm have tested negative while in our care. Due to the recent addition of a small number of new herd members, all kids are bottle-fed with pasteurized milk and housed separately from the main herd. This protocol is used to further reduce the risk of undiagnosed disease transmission.
If a buyer prefers a dam-raised kid, we are happy to recommend trusted breeders who offer that option.
Despite rigorous sanitation, coccidia management is necessary in our climate. We utilize preventative measures including herbal support and water additives. When needed, we also use Pro-Bac-C (lasalocid with probiotics). If a kid develops clinical coccidiosis despite preventative measures, treatment is provided under veterinary guidance.
Kids raised on bottles are typically ready to leave for their new homes at approximately 4–5 weeks of age. If a kid is not picked up by 10 weeks of age, a boarding fee of $3 per day will apply.
All kids will be disbudded unless the full purchase price is paid within five (5) days of birth. There is a narrow window in which disbudding can be performed safely, and horned dairy goats are significantly more difficult to place in appropriate homes.
Please note that disbudding may result in scurs, particularly in buck kids. While the procedure is performed by an experienced veterinarian, scurs can still occur and are considered a known and accepted risk.
All kids will receive ear tattoos. Tail web microchipping is available upon request for an additional $15.
For buck kids intended for ADGA registration, DNA testing will be submitted as required. DNA testing for other registries may be arranged at the buyer’s expense.
For kids intended for registration, we offer to submit online ADGA and/or BGS registration applications and transfers when possible. Buyers must provide their full legal name, registry ID, phone number, email address, and mailing address to complete the transfer. Paper applications may be provided upon request. MDGA goats are typically provided with paper applications, though online submission can be arranged if preferred. MDGA-registered goats may also be registered with TMGR by the new owner using the MDGA certificate.
Wethers and goats sold as Pet Only are sold without registration papers or applications.
We strive to manage our herds and land as naturally as possible while recognizing that goats raised in Wisconsin may occasionally require additional support to thrive in this climate.
Based on our experience and veterinary guidance, we vaccinate select animals in our herd against clostridial diseases and pneumonia. These preventative measures are used to support long-term herd health and reduce the risk of serious illness.
Our retained breeding animals (“keepers”) are vaccinated with Cavalry 9 for clostridium and tetanus, and Nasalgen 3 PMH IN for respiratory disease prevention.
Vaccination decisions are highly individual, and we respect that buyers may have different management preferences. For this reason, goats listed for sale are not routinely vaccinated unless vaccination is specifically requested by the buyer. Kids will receive passive immunity from their dams and may be vaccinated upon arrival at their new farm.
If you would like us to vaccinate a kid prior to pickup, we are happy to do so upon request.
The buyer has the opportunity at the time of pickup to inspect the animal and may refuse the animal if they believe it is not in acceptable health. Once an animal leaves our property, we cannot warrant its health, condition, or viability. All sales are final. Removal of an animal from our property constitutes acceptance of the animal and agreement to all terms of sale.
Livestock are highly sensitive to stress, and health conditions may develop rapidly after transport or environmental changes. For this reason, we offer no warranties or guarantees regarding the future health or viability of any animal.
Exception – Breeding Soundness: If an animal sold as registered breeding stock is diagnosed by a licensed veterinarian with a congenital or genetic condition that permanently prevents use in breeding, we will offer either a refund or a replacement, at our discretion. This exception applies only to defects that prevent successful reproduction (such as intersex conditions, freemartinism, or additional teats or orifices that impair breeding). Cosmetic traits or characteristics that may affect appearance or show potential are not covered.
Our goat herd is tested annually for CAE, CL, and Johne’s disease. Additional testing may be arranged upon request at the buyer’s expense.
Parasite management on our farm emphasizes preventative and targeted treatment. We utilize herbal products and pasture management strategies and perform fecal testing on the herd at least three times per year, with additional testing as needed. When necessary, veterinary-prescribed medications are used.
We strongly recommend that buyers perform a fecal examination within one to two weeks of bringing a new goat home and treat as indicated. Changes in environment and management can significantly affect parasite load.
If a doe is sold as bred, we cannot guarantee that she will settle, maintain pregnancy, or carry live, healthy kids to term. Stress associated with relocation can affect pregnancy outcomes.
If a doe is sold in milk, we cannot guarantee that she will maintain production levels or continue lactation after relocation. Milk production is influenced by stress, nutrition, management practices, and environment.
Our breeding stock is selected from strong, well-established lines, including animals with milk awards and exhibition winners in their pedigrees. However, this does not guarantee that any individual animal or its offspring will be show quality, earn awards, or exhibit specific levels of milk production or udder quality. Genetic outcomes vary and cannot be predicted or guaranteed.
In the interest of transparency, we disclose known faults or areas for improvement observed in each animal and actively work toward correcting them through responsible breeding.
Milk production and udder development are influenced by genetics, management, nutrition, environment, and stress. As a result, production levels observed on our farm may differ from those achieved in another herd. We cannot guarantee specific production amounts, even when historical production data is available.
