Goat Care Help

All buyers of Terrapin Acres Stock  get ongoing assistance in learning the routine (and not-so-routine) aspects of goat care.   We had similar help from herds such as Landmark Oaks and Marshland Dairy (Linda Libra) and expect to pass along what we've learned.

All animals are sold with the appropriate vaccinations and guaranteed healthy at the time they leave the farm.  Breeding stock is guaranteed to be fertile if the proper care has been provided by the buyer.  We follow ADGA sales recommendations.

Health Certificates

Our vet can provide health certificates for out-of-state sales.  Blood testing for specific diseases is available on the buyer's request at the buyer's expense.  Buyers will not be held to purchase of any animal that does not pass testing.  This is the same criteria that is used for our export animals.

Veterinary Services

Our animals are under regular veterinary care including Tetanus/Enterotoxemia vaccinations and worming as necessary.  Other injections include BoSe, Vitamins ADE, B-Complex Vitamins and Vitamin C.  We use ultrasound pregnancy testing by Osceola Veterinary Service and University of MN.

CAE & Disease
Prevention and Control

Our CAE/General Disease prevention program includes heat-treated colostrum and pasteurized cow milk.  We believe that control of communicable conditions is very important.  We vaccinate our young stock against CL abscesses.

Our dairy kids leave the Poplar Hill farm as soon as they are born and are raised in separate pens from older stock.  We leave the Boer kids on the dam unless we are asked before the kid's birth to feed it by hand. 

Testing for CAE, CL, Johnes, etc. can be done at the buyer's expense. Once an animal has left the farm and contacted animals from other sources, we will not be responsible for CAE, CL, Johnes or similar health status changes.
