A copy of the Registration Certificate must be submitted between July 1st – July 15th. It is strongly advised that registration should occur before the submission of your consignment information.

If a doe is offered with suckling kids, the doelings must be offered fully registered with DNA on file.

Please don’t procrastinate but select your goats, along with alternates, and get the paperwork and hair samples processed as soon as possible. When you wait until the last minute, change your mind, or don’t plan for unexpected problems by processing alternates it causes problems for the organizers who are trying to produce a successful sale.

Goats that do not have a copy of their registration certificate, complete with DNA information confirmed by the consignment information deadline of July 1st – July 15th, may not be listed in the catalog or allowed in the sale.

 

ANIMAL IDENTIFICATION AND DROP-OFF REQUIREMENTS:

Consignors should plan to have their animals at the sale location starting at 5:00PM, Friday unless special arrangements are made.. Water and shavings will be provided but each consignor is responsible for feed and water containers, and hay/feed for their animals. If you are bringing large animals or animals that may tend to jump out, bring panels to put over the top or plan to tether your goats in the pen.

All goats must arrive at the sale with interstate health certificates issued at the point of origin by a veterinarian and consigning them to the Big Tex Kiko Round Up Sale in Blanco Tx ALL goats must have a Scrapie tag in their ear at drop off.

Every goat and paperwork will be inspected before being allowed into the facility. Each individual goat must have a separate copy of a health certificate showing its individual identification. Multiple goats may be listed on one certificate if photocopies are made and the identification for that goat is highlighted on a copy.

Brucellosis or tuberculosis testing is not required for the sale. These tests may, however, be needed if a buyer from a state that requires them requests that a health certificate be issued from the sale to their home state. In such an case, the consignor or consignors will need to take back their animals if these tests are not available. Previous sales have shown that this is extremely unlikely, but it is possible.

All goats must have either a microchip or tattoo that matches their papers. Please check this out before you leave home to make sure you can read the tattoos and can find the microchips. If there is a problem, fix it at home. If you use microchips, bring a reader that you know will read them.

All goats must have clean 1 + 1 teat structure and no fish teats. All goats are inspected on Friday and ONLY 1×1 can sell through the ring.

All guest consignors’ goats must have your own herd prefix . The host’s reserve the right to consign an outside Prefixed goat, if they determine that the goat would help the sale.

Goats that are not a good representative of the breed and the desired premier quality for the sale will not be admitted. Please let us know if you have any questions prior to making your selections.

All goats must be free of abscesses or scars from previous abscesses, foot scald or rot, sore mouth, ringworm, coughing, scouring, any other signs of illness, or overall poor looking goats.

All goats consigned as individual lots must be at least 6 months old by the sale date, unless pre-approved by the sale hosts. Does offered with kids at foot must be at least 18 months old and have kids less than 90 days old at the time of the sale. Only un-weaned  kids will be permitted to sell with their dams.

Although not required, we encourage consignors to have goats that have been exposed to bucks, pregnancy tested before the sale and after the bucks have been removed for 30 days. You can find information about blood testing for pregnancy at www.biotracking.com or you can have them ultra-sound scanned by a Veterinarian who is willing to provide a certification of his findings. Past sales have shown that does that sell as “ultra-sounded pregnant” sell better than those that sell as “exposed to”. The blood tests would be preferred for being confirmed bred.

 

TRANSPORT OF SALE GOATS 

Livestock sales which can offer transport to multiple locations perform better. This is especially true in the new era of live broadcast and online bidding at livestock sales.

All consignors are expected to assist with transport where possible as part of their consignors’ responsibilities, for goats sold through the sale. The charge for such transport is a private treaty issue between the buyers and the consignor/transporter. We might also have transporter info available upon request. Whether the goats can be held at the farms of the consignor/transporters for an extended period and any fees associated with that boarding is a private treaty issue between buyers and those transporting them. The Big Tex Kiko Round Up Sale or its organizers accept no liability for any issues arising from private treaties entered into by buyers and transporters.
