Moony is a very handsome young buck with a lot of potential and a star-studded genetic background.  Moony himself boasts good general appearance, great length of body, refinement, dairy character, and sharp, flashy angles.  He's very level over the top line with the proper uphill slope to his withers, extremely strong over his chine, with a very slight slope to his rump.  His neck is long, clean, and elegant, and his head is beautiful - refined and deer-like.  Moony was my original keeper, over his brother, however as they've grown, his brother has shown an advantage in smoothness over his shoulders and spring of rib.  Moony isn't poor in these areas, but average.  I was still going to hang onto Moony and use him this fall, as I admire his style, but our circumstances have changed.

Moony has been shown once, and he was very well behaved.  He placed over his brother two out of three times, taking first once, and second (I think) once.  When he stood in the Champion Line-Up, the judge praised him for being the most dairy, refined buck there.  His biggest fault is the fact he toes out on both front legs, but he does stand on strong pasterns and tight toes.

Genetically, he is made for producing daughters that will excel in the show ring and milk pail.  He's backed up by some "grand ol' ladies" that have stood the test of time, and some bucks renown for the gorgeous udders they sock on their daughters.  Please see the link to his pedigree below his photo.  His littermate brother has produced some of my finest kids thus far.

He was not used last fall due to being too immature - he decided to fight the doe for leaves, rather than get down to business!  Like I said above, I had planned to use him this fall, but vet bills force sale.  Shipping is not available.

Private Treaty - SOLD!  Thanks Shannon and Patricia!

Show Record: 1 x 1st

Wethers

Our wethers (castrated bucks) are dam raised to ensure they're off to a healthy start - but don't worry, the everyday handling they get makes a super friendly goat.  Not only would these sweet little boys make wonderful pets, they could also double as eco-friendly fire fuel clearers, not to mention they're a lot cuter then any machine.  By the time they're ready to go to a new home in mid-June, they'll be disbudded and humanely castrated.  Our price reflects the time and care we put into our kids, making sure you'll have a healthy, happy goat that will live a long life.  Our goal is to have happy customers that don't have to rush their babies to the vet.  Scroll down to see pictures of the available kids.

Names can be changed if desired.

Babies are $125 each, discounts to approved homes and multiple purchases.

SOLD OUT.

Buck Kids

Here at Algedi Farm we feel very strongly in selling only the best for herd sires that we would use ourselves.  Any kid you see here will not be castrated if he doesn't sell, instead he will be added to our breeding program and show string, then sold as a proven herd sire at a later date (unless we can no longer part with him!).  We feel so strongly about improving the breed, we'd love for you to ask us about our buck guarantee.  Because we know adding a buck is an important decision we will be happy to answer any questions honestly and to the best of our knowledge.  Bucklings will only be sold to approved homes.

None available at this time.

Sales Policy

Reservations on an upcoming kidding require a $50 deposit.   Deposits are only taken once all does are bred.  Kids are sold to approved homes only.  Only three doeling reservations will be taken per doe, and slots fill up fast so we advise getting your deposit in promptly.  Reservations will be taken on a first come, first serve basis.  In the event two deposits for the same breeding arrive on the same day a 'lottery' will be held.  The kid MUST be paid for by six weeks old, or a $100 late fee applies.  If the kid is still not paid in full by the time it is eight weeks old, it will be put back up for sale and any deposit/payments will be forfeited.  Payment plans available.  In the unlikely event that a reserved kid dies prior to leaving Algedi Farm the buyer may choose to have the deposit refunded or placed on another kid.  Kids will not be shipped prior to 10 weeks of age.  Shipping is through Medford, OR Airport, shipping to the southern states requires us to leave our home at 3AM, so a $75 handling fee applies.  If heat becomes an issue, we must make a six hour drive (one-way) to Portland, OR, to ship via Continental and a $100 handling fee applies.  Buyer is responsible for all shipping costs including the cost of the crate (size 300 is required), vet exam, and any health certificates that may be required.  Delivery to shows we are attending is available for no charge.  All sales are final.  Algedi Farm reserves the right to cancel a reservation (deposit would be refunded.)  Animals are guaranteed healthy at time of pick up / shipping.

Herd Management

Here at Algedi Farm we believe that the best way to approach animal care is by promoting excellent health in an effort to avoid  costly treatments.  We feed top quality grass-clover blend hay and alfalfa hay to our does.  When does are milking they are fed a high quality dairy goat grain ration.  For wethers we recommend NEVER graining and giving only good quality grass hay.  A highly recommended book is Diet For Wethers by Carolyn Eddy available through Hoegger Goat Supply.  Goats are provided with free choice GOAT minerals and kelp.  We use Fias Co. Farm Herbal Wormer for parasite control in our milking does, and Ivermectin in our kids, retired does, and bucks.  Our pens are large allowing for plenty of exercise on a daily basis, and the milkers/kids are allowed out daily (weather permitting) to run, browse and play on our fenced thirteen acres.  Our goal is for our goats to be very friendly, and they get a good deal of hands on attention.  Even though kids are dam raised they are handled daily (several times a day by the two-legged kids), played with and well loved.  A kid purchased from us is sure to be extremely friendly.  Kids are disbudded as soon as horn buds are noticed.  Because we separate our kids overnight (we want that milk!) all kids must learn to take a bottle.  Our herd is vet tested  CAE & Johnes free yearly.  Our herd is free of CL abscesses.  Please feel free to ask questions - we love to talk goats!!
