CHINOOK WINDS FARM Sales Policy ***Last Updated 10-23-11*** Click here and read this over first and the info below, then email. Please bring collars and leashes when picking up goats. Please note that we are not shipping goats by air now, so you will either have to come here, arrange to meet us at a show, or arrange for a transport service to pick up a goat from us. Also note that we will not sell just one goat to someone, if you don't have another or others. They are herd animals and you must have at least two. Please read this page thoroughly before contacting us about purchasing any of our animals for sale. We always deworm the goats before they leave for their new homes and we usually update their shots if it has been any time at all since they have received them. We also do their hooves then. A non-refundable $100 deposit will hold the goat of your choice for a month. By this we mean non-refundable in the event that the purchaser backed out of our sales agreement. Of course, all money paid would be refunded to the purchaser in the event of the death, illness or injury of the animal that was to be purchased. Also, all money would be refunded if we were to back out of the sales agreement. We reserve the right to change our minds about selling any of the animals we have listed for sale. Also we reserve the right to change our prices on our goats listed for sale up until the time we receive a deposit on them. After a month, payment in full is expected, unless other arrangements have been agreed upon by both parties. We know that it can take a while to work out picking up animals, so we don't expect to charge boarding fees. But if it takes longer than the agreed upon amount of time for a purchaser to pick up their goats, a $2 a day boarding fee will be applied, after the purchaser is notified that boarding charges are beginning. An unborn kid can be reserved with a non-refundable $50 deposit. Payment in full is expected by the time the kid is weaned and ready to leave our farm. Most kids will be weaned between 8-10 weeks old. We reserve the right to change our minds about selling any of our kids. If this were to happen, we would provide a full refund of any money paid to us. Also the deposit on a kid would be refunded if the reserved kid was not produced. The buyer could also apply that deposit to another kid or adult goat if they want. If you are paying for a goat at the time of pick up or delivery to a show, please pay in cash, that is, if we don't know you and haven't agreed that a check is okay. Please note that all though we do not charge a fee for delivering goats to shows, we will not deliver them without receiving the full payment of the goat first. In the case that we are delivering goats to a buyer somewhere other than a show, the goats will have to be completely paid for already, with time for a check to clear our bank before we leave. We will also need to be reimbursed for our gas and that will have to be included in the check received before delivery. This is due to a buyer renigging on the gas charge upon delivery. Can you imagine having the nerve to be so cheap.?! You meet all kinds after ten years of raising goats. Please note that the purchaser is solely responsible for picking up or working out delivery or shipping on these animals. Also, all fees are the purchaser's responsibility alone. Some does may be sold bred for an additional fee of at least $100 depending on the service buck. This fee is refundable if the breeding doesn't take. If we state that we are selling a doe bred at no additional fee, or if we sell the doe for $400 or less, then the breeding is not guaranteed, and no money will be refunded if the doe doesn't settle. We need time to be able to get a doe bred, two to four weeks, so please get your deposits to us if you want them bred. We will not breed does without first receiving the deposits. Please notify us if you are sending us a deposit. We provide the purchaser with registration certificates, or applications for registration for both AGS and NDGA, all breeding, health care, and pedigree records. We microchip with Home Again instead of tattooing. Please note that we do not require that any tests be performed before we sell a goat. Any tests a buyer wants run, will be at the buyer's expense. Arrangements to pay for the tests must be made before they will be run. If it is a test our veterinarian must perform, then a credit card number must be called into his office before we will take the goats in to him, or a check must be sent to us to cover the expense. If it is some test that we can pull the blood and send off ourselves, then we must receive a check or money order first. If goats are shipped, the purchaser is responsible for all shipping expenses and health certificates. The cost of a health certificate is $30 and up to 12 animals can be listed on it. If we are delivering goats to a show that we are already attending with goats of our own, we won't charge the purchaser an additional fee for the required health certificate, unless the number of goats we are delivering to them puts us over the limit of twelve animals, thus requiring another certificate. But in any other case, if the purchaser needs a health certificate, it is their expense and will be at least $30. The buyer to needs let us know ahead of time if they need a health certificate. We need time to make an appointment and get the goats into the vet. Some of our goats have gone to new homes in Wisconsin, Michigan, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Tennessee, Kentucky, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Iowa, Indiana and California. Please make checks or money orders payable to Sherri Jones and mail to 9987 Tracy Road Atoka, TN 38004. If you need to call, our home number is 901-829-4954. We can accept paypal payments at this email turtlmuthr@aol.com. If paying by paypal please include all fees, the 3% fee plus 30 cents per transaction fee. Otherwise you can pay by check or money order. If paying by check, there will be a two week waiting period for it to clear the bank.
