2023 Kidding Diary:
Just a Note...
December 14th, 2022
Every year it is the same. We are on pins and needles waiting and WAITING for babies to start hitting the ground! We are planning to freshen around 18 does again this year and are very excited about our breeding plans. Our friend and goat mentor, Becky Goldthwaite, blessed us profoundly this year by sending some variety for our breeding plans: Goldthwaite Guadalajara and Goldthwaite Cola Rum!
For the most part, things have gone well with breeding season.
And then came December.
We went to the barn the first week of this month and found that our special herdisre Abraham had died during the night. That was profoundly sad, but not unexpected as he had been struggling for a while. What was completely unexpected was that sweet Guadi also died that same night. He had seemed in fine fettle the night before, so that was a shock.
That same week, one of our favourite does (Jewel) miscarried and then went down with a bout of polio. We treated the polio aggressively and thank God she recovered completely. We are so sad that she lost the Guadi kids she had been carrying.
After losing Abraham and Guadi, we decided to use our retained Abraham son, Tribute, to breed several does this year. All in all, we are excited for our kidding to begin and to see what special treasures our girls have in store for us!

White Fields Farm Sales Policy
Our prices for Purebred and American Nubian kids typically range from $500 and up. Prices for grade kids typically start at $400 and up for recorded grade does and $150 for grade bucklings/wethers.
At White Fields Farm, we like to give ourselves time to make our herd retention decisions based on what we see from our kids and their dams over several months. Therefore, we rarely take deposits on unborn kids.
You may request a kid from a planned breeding by contacting us via phone or email. We keep a list of kids requested and will contact you as soon as we have made our retention decisions for the year and if we have a kid available to meet your request. Once we have contacted you, we require a deposit of $100 to hold the kid until weaning or pickup, with the balance due upon pickup of the kid.
In the case of a weaned kid or adult animal offered for sale, we request a minimum of half the purchase price down as a deposit with the remainder due within two weeks of receipt of deposit or upon pick up of the animal.
No animal will leave our farm until paid in full.
If you are interested in buying a goat, please contact Ande prior to sending a deposit to discuss availability at [email protected] or 303-818-0347.
We accept payment via Venmo, PayPal, cash, or check.
Please make checks or money orders payable to Andrea or Andrew Pellett.
Doe kids will be dam raised for a minimum of 10-12 weeks unless other arrangements have been made. Buck kids will be dam raised for at least 8-10 weeks based on their behavior.
Any goat not picked up by the date agreed upon by White Fields Farm will incur an additional boarding fee of $7 per day.
All of our kids are sold disbudded unless otherwise agreed upon and paid in full by 10 days after birth. Any wethers sold will be castrated just prior to leaving our farm.
Although we are diligent to maintain the health of all animals on our farm, we will not be responsible for the sickness, injury or death of any reserved kid after 12 weeks old or of any animal once it has left our farm.
We prefer animals to be picked up at our farm, though we are willing to discuss other options with you.
We will honor requests for kids to the best of our ability, but we do reserve the right to retain any animal born on our farm for our herd's needs.
Deposits shall be refunded if your choice of kid is not born, is retained for our herd or if it does not meet our standard of quality. Deposits will not be refunded on an order that is canceled by the buyer after it is made.
Any desired health testing may be performed at the buyer's request and at the buyer's expense. Health Certificates may be obtained at the buyer's request and at the buyer's expense.
Goats kids will come with their application for registration with the American Dairy Goat Association. Adult goats will come with their ADGA registration papers. We have Purebred, American, and Grade Nubians. The goats listed may be assumed purebred unless otherwise noted.
