What animals do you offer?
Availability changes throughout the year. We commonly offer mini & micro Highland calves, Nigerian Dwarf goats, Kunekune pigs (piglets and registered breeding stock), mini ponies, and heritage chickens. If you’re looking for something specific, contact us and we’ll confirm what’s currently available.

Do you sell to first-time owners?
Yes. Many buyers are starting small acreage or building their first homestead. We’ll help you think through fencing, shelter, feed, and how to set up a safe transition pen.

Can I buy in pairs or small groups?
Yes—pairs and small groups are common (especially goats, pigs, and ponies). If you’re buying multiples, we’ll help match temperament and manageability.

What if I want a mix (example: calves + goats + ponies)?
That’s fine. One inquiry can cover multiple species. Tell us your timeline, what you’re trying to build, and whether you prefer pickup or delivery.

Can I visit before committing?
When scheduling allows, yes. For buyers at a distance, we can also provide updated photos/videos so you can make a confident decision.

How fast does availability change?
Livestock availability can change quickly. If you’re contacting us about a listed animal, include the name and tag number so we can confirm status immediately.

Do you offer ongoing support after purchase?
Yes. If questions come up about feed transitions, introductions, or basic care after you get home, contact us.
