Welcome to Big T Ranch! We breed Nigerian Dwarf Dairy Goats! American Goat Society (AGS), Nigerian Dwarf Goat Association (NDGA), and American Dairy Goat Association (ADGA)

LOTS OF KIDS DUE MONTHLY BEGINNING AT THE END OF APRIL ~ CHECK BACK OFTEN

Big T Ranch is located in Canon City, Colorado along the foothills of the Sange de Cristo mountains, 45 miles southwest of Colorado Springs, and 32 miles west of Pueblo. We have a small herd as we believe in quality, healthy, functional animals. If you're going to be in the area, or just passing through, give us a call, come have a cup of coffee and say "Hi!" As the sign at the gate says.... Welcome!

Until one has loved an animal,
a part of ones soul remains unawakened. ~Anatole France

Please, if you're lookin' for somethin' to barbeque, you're in the wrong place!

Because goats are herd animals and therefore social creatures, we require that all animals purchased from us go to a home where they will have a companion goat (i.e. doe/wether, doe/doe, wether/wether, buck/wether.....a doe/buck combination does not count~the doe needs a doe or wether companion, please).

Our Herd

Sales

We are very conscious of our country's current economy ~ therefore, we offer our quality, purebred animals at prices that are affordable for families. We are a small farm and we believe in producing affectionate animals that are each handled on a daily basis. Our breeding standards are top-notch and we take pride in what we do. Because of work schedules that do not allow us to be free on weekends, we are not in the show ring as much as we would like ~ therefore, we do not have milk records or a wall of show ribbons. However, our goats still have beautiful kids, produce wonderful and plentiful milk, and will become loving members of your family.

	10Kitty Farm EM Tanji SOLD! TO MIKE IN CANON CITY, CO Sire: Flat Rocks early Mooner Dam: Thunder ridge Farm Eula If you are looking for a loving, calm pet (and she would probably be able to learn some tricks as well), Tanji might be the perfect match for you. I am not sure if she is able to conceive...I had her in with two different bucks for several months at a time and when preg checked, she was open both times. She is extremely friendly and sweet, and a little on the small side, so I'm thinking she might be best as a pet. It's been a tough decision but I'm trying to find the perfect "niche" for her. I really would prefer that she not be used for breeding purposes, not knowing why she's had trouble breeding. She is in excellent health, wormed 5/20/09, and was just checked by a vet 5/15/09. If you have a loving, forever home for her, I'd love to hear from you. $150

	Purebred wether Born 3/2007 SOLD! TO MIKE IN CANON CITY, CO Tan/black buckskin, small, very friendly and sweet. This little guy would make a great pet for someone who has the time to give him one-on-one. He does have some small horns that curve down toward his head so they aren't sharp in any way and he is very non-aggressive. He has just been wormed and is ready to go. I would like to find him a home where there is at least one other goat as he's used to having companionship ~ he was a triplet (brother is Tacoma).

	Buck born 2/6/09 $200 Sire: Prairie Wood Checotah Dam: Thunder Ridge Farm Phenelope This little guy is a blue-eyed buckskin with a white crown, white underside and a white spot on one side. Both his sire and dam are blue-eyed as well. He's a little on the small side but has great conformation and would make an excellent addition to a herd. He's very sweet and will be weaned and ready to go by the last week of March. Sold! DEBBIE IN PENROSE, CO

Discounts on multiple goat purchases

Sales Info:

Kids are, for the most part, dam-raised. Our herd has tested negative for CAE, and does not have any sign or indication of any other disease or illness, and we only sell healthy animals. However, we do not guarantee their health once they leave the ranch.

We take pride in our goats and they are well cared for and loved. Therefore, we will only sell animals to good homes where they will continue to be loved and treated kindly and not used for meat production. Please, if you're lookin' for somethin' to barbeque, you're in the wrong place!

Our wethers get the same quality health and herd management as the rest of our goats. We know these goats are going to be pets and we want them healthy, sweet and happy! We offer great breeder support and provide our new goat owners with continuing information and instruction.

Our goats are American Goat Society (AGS), Nigerian Dwarf Goat Association (NDGA), and American Dairy Goat Association (ADGA) registered and all kids come with AGS forms. Kids are disbudded, vaccinated, wormed, and hoof-trimmed before going to their new homes. Each sale includes a feed sample to help transition the kid to your feed. One of our goals at Big T Ranch is to help you acquire the goat that best fits your needs, so both of you have a long and happy relationship. Therefore we do not accept deposits on unborn kids. We feel that breeding is not an exact science, and the breeding that looks best on paper might not produce exactly what you are looking for. For that reason we do not want you, our customer, to put money down on an animal that might not fit your needs. Rather, we want you to be able to see the kid you are purchasing, and have confidence that this is the kid for you!

We maintain a list of our breedings, and who desires what from each breeding. We will be most happy to put your name down on our list for the kid of your choice. Most of our kids are sold off this list, so if you see a breeding you really like be sure to let us know ASAP. When that kid is born we will email you a picture of that kid. At that time you may choose to accept that kid or not. If you decide that you do wish to purchase said kid, a $100 deposit is required to hold your kid of choice for 30 days while transport is arranged. Please keep in mind that this deposit is non-refundable! If the deposit is not received within 7 days the next person on the list will be offered the animal.

Purchasing Animals

If you would like to purchase an animal we ask for a non-refundable $100 deposit, paid within 7 days after the sales agreement has been reached. Your deposit will hold your animal of choice for 30 days, while transport arrangements are made. Balance of payment is due within that 30 day period, unless other arrangements have been made. After 30 days a $2 a day boarding fee will be applied, unless prior arrangements have been made with us. The full price must be paid before the animal leaves the ranch. We take payments through PayPal, money orders, checks (but the check must clear before the animal moves), or cash at the time of pickup. We understand that sometimes situations arise and therefore any goat that leaves our farm will always have a "forever home" with us. We will purchase the animal back from you for half of the selling price, providing it is deemed healthy.

*NOTE* It is the buyers responsibility to stay in touch with Big T Ranch. If we do not hear from you after your 30 days deposit period is over, or for any extended period of time, we reserve the right to offer said animal for sale again. If the sale is not concluded your deposit is non-refundable. This has happened several times this year. Big T Ranch is very easy to work with, but we cannot be boarding animals indefinitely for customers we haven't heard from. Boarding charges WILL apply after 30 days.

Terms

Terms are available by special private agreement. Registration papers will not be issued on animals being paid out until all animals in the transaction are paid in full. Thanks for your understanding.

Transportation

Transportation, shipping, and health checks are the responsibility of the buyer. Transportation is the responsibility of the buyer, though we will be happy to help when possible. Shipping is available throughout the United States via several airlines. Actual cost will be charged for Health Certificates, and a $50 gas charge (Colorado Springs Airport) or $75 gas charge (Denver Airport) will be charged if the animal must be delivered to the airport. Animals will be shipped when we deem them ready. Crates can be mailed to us from the buyer, or we can purchase a crate for you for the appropriate fee. Ground transportation is also available. We will meet people up to 150 miles. There will be a base fee of $25.00 plus $0.30 a mile round trip.
