PEARCE PASTURES
Nigerian Dwarf Buck Service Policy and Contract
Please read through our policy and contract carefully. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us.
FEES PER DOE.
$50 with no memo
$75-100 with AGDA, AGS, or NDGA breeding memo (eligibility is subject to our discretion)
1. We offer pen breeding (basically drive-way breeding but with a little privacy). We do not board other people's does or lease our bucks out. Bucks offered for service are only available after they have proven themselves. Does to be bred need to be brought to the buck when in heat and will be placed into a pen with him for two covers. A doe who is not in heat will not stand for breeding and the breeding would not be successful so it is the responsibility of the doe's owner to make sure the doe is in heat and ready for breeding. This usually doesn't take more than an hour and then the doe can be taken home.
2. Does to be bred must meet certain criteria.
First and most importantly, they need to have been tested for CL and CAEV by a licensed vet within the last twelve months and clean test papers must be provided for each doe to be bred. We love our goats dearly and do not want to risk infection and death, however inconvenient it might be to have to test your animals. More information on these diseases and on how to get your goats tested can be found below.
Second, does need to be washed and shaved down to make sure we are less likely to exchange things like lice, fleas, and mites and so that does can be more readily inspected for any health issues prior to breeding. If a doe is found to have lumps or other signs of illness or infestation, breeding fees will be returned and the doe will not be serviced at that time. This is for the health of our goats as well as yours.
Third, we would prefer that does not be horned as breeding can bring out aggression and our bucks do not have horns. If your does do have horns, we ask that you find a way to cover them prior to bringing them for breeding (we have seen people use things like tennis balls and swimming noodles to achieve this).
Fourth, as blunt as it may seem, we will not breed an animal that looks to be in poor condition or is too young. Breeding fees will be returned and the doe will not be covered at that time. Pregnancy and lactation take a toll on a doe's body and taxes their immune system. We cannot in good conscience place that burden onto a doe who may not be able to handle it well because she isn't in good shape or is too young. We strongly recommend having a vet perform a fecal exam one month before breeding to check for parasite loads so the doe can be treated with the correct medications and be brought into good condition with quality feeding before breeding.
Fifth, we reserve the right to decide not to offer breeding memos for servicing does who are grade or are not bred to the standards set forth by ADGA, AGS and NDGA. If you are unsure of your doe's adherence to breed standards, be sure to educate yourself prior to contracting for service. We will not refund service fees due to a lack of owner education on defects, faults, disqualifications and will put our name on papers to promote a substandard animal.
3. If your doe comes back into heat within a 60 day period after the first exposure (meaning the breeding did not take), you can bring her back and a one time only re-breed free of charge. It is the responsibility of the doe's owner to record and report the presence of a heat cycle to us-we will not contact you to see if the breeding took. The doe will have to meet all of the criteria stipulated in item number two of this policy in order for her to be re-bred (we are not responsible for a doe that did not take and is now ill or poorly conditioned and not eligible for breeding). This offer is not transferable to another doe. If your doe comes back into heat and you do not notify us within the 60 days after the first exposure, this offer is no longer good. Be sure to record the date that we exposed the doe to the buck, and then make a reminder for yourself to check for her next heat cycles.
4. We do not offer refunds for any reason.
5. By bringing your doe onto our property for this service, you are agreeing that we will not be held liable for any injury to you or your animal or for the death of your animal.
6. We cannot and do not guarantee that a pregnancy will result in a successful birth outcome, nor can we promise any size, color, gender, or show-worthiness of offspring.
7. Print off any and all breeding memo paperwork from the AGS/NGDA/NMGA websites and bring them with you at the time of the breeding for us to fill out.
8. Print off two copies of this policy/contract to be filled out at the time of the breeding, one for your records and one for ours. Each doe requires a separate contract for service. Printer friendly versions are available at the bottom of this page.
9. We would greatly appreciate an email with pictures of the kids that result from the breeding as well as any show results or news that you want to share.
