We sell animals that are healthy and sound at the time of transfer. We cannot guarantee that they will mature as you or we would expect; we cannot guarantee their mature conformation, stature, udder attachment, show ability, quality of their offspring, etc. There are many factors involved in the development of an animal including life-long management (feeding, health care maintenance, parasite control, housing, breeding, stress, etc). We cannot take responsibility for how a kid you purchase from us ultimately matures.

We do not guarantee that a purchaser will like an animal they purchase from us. An animal represents a genetic package. We are not under obligation to take any animal back once it has left the property.

If a buyer wants to see an animal before purchase, that’s wonderful—s/he may come to the farm and choose the animal (these are the BEST choices). For long-distance purchases we will do our best to realistically represent the animal with photos and descriptions. All sales are final.

In an ideal world we would all purchase fully mature animals whose mature progeny we could also evaluate by sight and touch. This is rarely if ever possible. Despite the fact that we breed our best goats for the best progeny, from time to time an animal is born who does not meet our expectations. Sometimes this is obvious at an early age and the animal can be culled, but sometimes it becomes apparent as the animal matures, or only when the animals offspring are born and mature. Goat breeding is partly a crapshoot: there are no guarantees. The younger an animal is when purchased, the more uncertainty accompanies it. We are selling genetic potential. When we sell an animal s/he is more than the animal you see. S/he represents the combination of genes from our herd which you are choosing to ad to your herd. There is no telling how these genes will blend with yours. Occasionally we sell mature animals, bucks or does, after they have produced offspring: obviously this is the most risk-free purchase…but still, there is no way to predict how these genes will blend with their chosen mates. Every breeding is a gamble. Sometimes genes from two outstanding lines do not blend favorably. This is a chance you take.

Ultimately, the proof of any buck is a number (at least 1/2 dozen) of his daughters (out of different dams) when they are mature, with udders full of milk. The prettiest buck can be totally worthless if his daughters are trash.

I too, have purchased expensive animals sight unseen. Some times I’ve won (Tom Thumb) and some times I’ve lost. Several years ago I purchased an expensive buck from across the country: I had high hopes for him all around. He never matured as the show goat I wanted. AND I lost more than a year’s worth of doe kids in my breeding program because his daughters didn’t have the body conformation I had started with in their dams and upon freshening, TWO years later, proved to have had poor udder attachments. That’s life! I understood that any animal is an unknown genetic package. Even though HE came from a line of superb milk and show goats, he did not prove himself here. I accepted that he was not show quality. I got rid of him when I saw a whole cohort of his daughters (6-12) from different dams after freshening. I will not insult or degrade the breeder--one can never predict exactly how animals will develop or how genes will blend. We always take a chance on every animal, every new breeding.

If we sell breeding stock that proves to be infertile (backed up with a Vet or AI collector’s detailed report for verification) we may feel an obligation to replace it with our choice of something comparable, depending on availability. We will require the infertile animal’s certificate of registration to be turned over to us for the replacement.

A purchaser has the right to a full Veterinary examination at his/her expense on any animals to be purchased. We will not feel any responsibility for the health of an animal purchased from us beyond 24 hours from the time it leaves the farm unless we are presented with a Vet’s official statement that the animal in question had a congenital, or another underlying condition prior to transfer. We will not claim responsibility for illness, damage or death as a result of shipping. Accidents happen.

We do not accept responsibility for lack of conception in breedings involving the use of semen purchased from us. All semen sold by Rosasharn has been collected, processed, stored and shipped professionally. Conception rates depend on the continued storage, handling and skill of the inseminator.

If you would like to reserve an unborn kid, we expect a non-refundable deposit of $100 to hold your place on our list. Upon notification of availability of any animal reserved from us, immediate payment of $100 must be sent to hold the animal. We will only hold an animal for two months without payment in full. After that time, without further payments,or excepition, the animal will be offered for sale to others and you will forfeit your payments. If the animal is not transfered at the agreed upon tiime, a boarding fee of $5.00 per day may be applied. An animal must be paid in full to leave Rosasharn farm. All expenses (including board, vet and shipping) must be paid before an animal is shipped.

Rosasharn reserves the right to retain any reserved animal for any reason.
If this is done, payments will be returned.
