All doe kids are microchipped and registered prior to departure. Our sires are DNA verified as are many of our Dams. Entire Herd CAE Negative January 2024. Our 2025 testing will occur in Jan/Feb. Results available and shared with interested parties. Additional disease testing is welcomed at the buyer’s cost. Many of our does are scored through ADGA Linear Appraisal. A review of these scores are available at www.adgagenetics.org and illustrates the strengths and opportunities for improvement of each animal. I am happy to share recent year appraisal results that are not yet reflected on adgagenetics site. Several animals are pending champions as indicated in the notes. ADGA paperwork will eventually catch up with their accomplishments.

General Purchase Information Follows…
Bottle doe kids, when available, are generally priced between $500-$800. Those that I wanted to keep for myself are a bit more expensive to pry away from me and require some discussion ;-)
Most bucks leave as wethers (neutered males) and are priced $100 to move at under a week old as bottle kids.
I do not sell many doe kids most years as it is ultimately my goal to freshen all the doe kids born within this herd so I can evaluate udders and production capability. That said, there are opportunities to buy bottle kids from time to time and especially this year since I have kept several daughters from the previous season to freshen.
I’ve opted not to take any reservations on bucks this season. I likely will not sell any registered bucks but you are welcome to contact me to discuss the possibility. Please contact me with specific inquiries at info@hardwickefarms.com
Due to the lengthy holding times for export of goat kids before shipment, hay and grain prices in our geographic area make it financially infeasible to export animals outside the United States. While we understand the need for US Dairy Goat genetics in countries trying to improve their genetics, it is cost prohibitive to house excess breeding stock while awaiting export.
