~ WELCOME TO BELLAFIRE FARM ~
*~* Starting NEW in 2018 *~*
Discount of 10% for bottle kids picked up at the farm between 4-6 weeks old.
We are hoping to have almost all of our 2018 babies bottle raised to ENSURE they are super friendly & people oriented. We will be selling kids after 4 wks of age w/ASSURANCE that they are bottle raised by their new owners until weaning age of 9-12 wks.
The kids 4 wks and older will be on 2x a day bottle feedings, approximately every 12 hrs. They will have their first CDT vaccine, dewormer, and coccidia treatment. All kids will come with a "NEW GOAT OWNER GOODY BAG" which includes a bottle, nipple, next doses of any medications w/instructions, current feed including loose goat minerals, baby goat grain and a small amount of hay to slowly transition to the feed of your choice. Your goody bags also have print off's of our very helpful New Goat Owner pages for you to use & learn from. The babies will be bottle fed 50/50 fresh goats milk and Whole Cows milk (the basic Vitamin D Whole Cows milk from the grocery store) to make it easier to transition to a 100% Whole Milk diet in their new home. WE DO NOT ADVISE USING ANY MILK REPLACERS! We will provide you with enough goats milk to safely & slowly transition to the 100% Whole Milk feeding routine during their first week in your home.

Bellafire Farm is a small "farmette" located in Yamhill County, Oregon. We pride ourselves on raising top quality dairy goats that will be a forever friend too. We show in ADGA Goat shows & 4H shows and complete an official ADGA Linear Appraisal of our goats each year. In 2017 we will be restarting our ADGA & DHI Milk Testing program, which officially tracks how much our girls milk and also the overall health & quality of that milk & of the doe herself.
About our goats and babies: Our goats are maintained with the utmost care and dedication to their well-being. Our adult goats (even our bucks) are gentle, affectionate, people-oriented animals. They are wonderful, loving "family members" first and foremost, and we strive to have them succeed as top quality show animals too. Our adult animals are tested free of CAE, CL, Johnes, Q-Fever & Brucellosis. We maintain a disease-free herd using strict bio-security measures which allows us to produce exceptionally healthy, happy animals.
* Testing of random herd majority Aug 2015, Fall 2016, Nov 2017, - CAE, CL, Q-Fever, Johnes, NEGATIVE *
Purchasing a goat: I offer $50 off to show homes, 4H homes, DHI milk testing homes, Linear Appraisal herds, or for multiple goat purchases... it's important to me that these well-bred animals go to loving homes where they can show their true potential! If you are interested in purchasing an animal; a $50 non-refundable deposit will hold a kid of your choice until it is ready (approx. 4-9 wks old). A $100 deposit will hold an adult until transportation is arranged (transportation must occur within 14 days). Please check out the current 2018 Breeding Schedule for upcoming 2018 kids.
* You can also view our updated Sales Contract, which must be filled out, signed, and returned before any goats leave for their new home.
Updated 2018 Sales Contract can be seen & printed here.
*~* Please review our "So You Want A Goat" page , our "Goat Basics" page, and our "New Goat Owners Pages" before putting in a reservation. These pages were designed to help potential buyers understand the basics of goat care. It is extremely important to me that buyers are making well thought out & educated decisions when purchasing one of our goaties :-). LOTS of love, attention, and care are required to raise a happy Bellafire Farm goat.
