Contact me by email at lavenderhill@tredd.com I will try to answer all your questions through email (usually within 24 hours Mon-Fri). Make sure you don't block my reply or if you use an email other than your own, please let me know so you get the reply.

Directions:

*****We are located in South Western Pennsylvania. *****

Use a map program and look up West Alexander PA (15376). This will get you to within a few miles of the farm and I will give you the exact directions a few days before your visit along with contact information because the map programs seem to fall apart for those last few miles. My directions will start from  (exit 1 off I-70) West Alexander.

Prices are as indicated and are not subject to negotiation.   

I understand not everyone wants show animals, and I will work very hard to match the buyer to the right animal for their needs. I strongly encourage wethers for beginners as they are a cheap start into goats and are great to find out what the animals are really like before jumping in with both feet. I don't recommend large starter herds as they are immediate work and unless you are experienced with livestock, it can be an expensive nightmare. I think good quality, mid priced goats are best for the average beginner.  You must have at least two goats as they are herd animals, but I think a nice start is 3-5 animals.

Terms of Sale:

Reservations are non-refundable.

50% of the total sale is required to hold goats once they are born.  NO GOAT IS CONSIDERED SOLD TILL A DEPOSIT IS RECEIVED! I will mark the goat as pending once I am notified that a deposit has been sent. A verbal statement of desire to buy the goat that is not followed immediately by a deposit is considered window shopping and if another buyer wants the same animal and sends a deposit, the person who sent the deposit first will be the new owner of the goat.

Health certificates are the responsibility of the buyer. Any testing required or desired is the responsibility of the buyer. Use of a transporter is the responsibility of the buyer.

Does-2010

I have a few goats for sale not listed as well as the ones below.


 Lovely registered brown yearling doe. She is holding her color well and has nice lock and dense fleece. She has a nice straight topline and very good coverage. This is an excellent all around doe that I feel  would do very well in the ring.

Dam is Phoenix (her dam won R.CH. doe at SAFF) She was also shown

 Sire is Tejus. Tejus won Supreme Champion At Nevada MO and second CAGBA National kid

 $500

Available in spring

 


Yearling does:

Spirit, Siren and Jubilee (I'll get pictures of these girls in fleece before I shear). There are kid pictures on the jr. doe page.  The sire to all three was Wilber. All three are medium red brown with very soft tight  dense locks. They are very nice does. $400 each.

Jubilee's dam Joy is one of the best in the herd and won Supreme Ch. at SAFF and placed 1rst in her class at NJ. Wilber the sire did very well in the ring and was a big, dark red buck with so much presence he always stood out in the class. Jubilee represents some of my very best breeding. 


2 year old does:

Ophelia is a registered red doe with some frosting on her ears. Her dam was a powerful doe  (Paddy) with incredibly soft fleece. Her sire (Tejus) was an excellent show buck that was big, powerful and a real show stopper.  Ophelia lost her dam before weaning and I think is smaller because of it (she was old enough that she did not take readily to the bottle and though she did get the hang of it, I think it cost her some size, so while she is only medium sized, I think her genetic potential may be for a bigger goat) She will be sold after she kids in the spring, so she will be proven. $375

Luca:

Medium brown well covered doe. Has very dark goats in pedigree and should produce exceptional color. Will be sold after kidding.

Sire: Tejus

Dam: Violet

 

There may be a couple more two year olds for sale after kidding as well.

 

 


Allanise: red two year old registered doe. Very soft, uniform fleece in tight ringlets. This yearling is one of the biggest of our 2008 kids. She has beautiful coverage and wide horns and a straight back with good length through the body. A truly lovely show quality animal. $495

Dam: Ginger

Sire: Tejus

she will be available after kidding

Miniature Donkeys for sale


 

Registered spotted gray jennet

good with goats and has guarding instinct

$550 bred to a chocolate jack for 2010 foal


Chocolate jack. Smaller donkey that is friendly to people, but not good with smaller stock. Should be gelded if you intend to keep him with smaller animals. Gets along well with horses. $150(OBO) or if local to West Alexander am willing to give you the jack (free) if you allow me to use him for breeding my herd.

 

 

 


Can you make money on goats? This is a question that I am sure all producers are frequently asked. I have always tried to answer that question truthfully. This link will explain the answer. This is a Boer site, but the information applies to all livestock. http://whitehousegoats.com/money.html


 

General sales information

Package deals are only offered on groups of 5 or more goats. Please do not ask for any discount for less than 5 goats as I have put a lot of money and work into this herd and always try to keep my prices fair.

The average price I have paid for my breeding stock is $500 + and I have paid a great deal more for some of the special animals here.  Our herd originated from some of the best colored and AAGBA herds in the country. We are very particular in our own purchases. We try very hard to offer superior quality at a very good price to our customers.

There is no 4-H discount for breeding animals, however, I do offer special 4-H offers on wethers, so if you are in 4-H and would like to buy a wether, please email me about the details.

 

Repeat customers in good standing are offered preference
