We ask for a $100 deposit for each animal purchased. This deposit is non-refundable unless there is a veterinarian statement that the animal is ill or is somehow incapable of fulfilling its purpose in the new herd.

Our herd is compliant with the USDA Scrapie program. MA is a Brucellosis and TB free state. We tested all of our herd clean of both diseases in 1997- 2003, and have not tested since then. Our animals are tested regularly for CAE, and have always tested negative. We do not test for Johnnes at this time, but have had no sign of any wasting or
undiagnosed illness. We have never had any sign of CL either.

We are very careful with our biosecurity methods, and take great care to provide our own pens and bedding, and be aware of herd health at all shows and exhibitions.

We prefer to ship out of Manchester, NH or Hartford, CT, but Boston and Providence, RI are possible as well. We prefer the first two airports because of their past services with our shipped animals. Crates are the buyer's responsibility, as are the veterinary check for shipping. We are always willing to discussspecial circumstances.
