~About Us~
Starlander's is a small farm located outside Allegan, MI where we raise Nigerian Dwarf Goats, Speckled Sussex Chickens, Muscovy Ducks, and Siberian Huskies. We here at Starlander's believe that animals should be raised and bred to have equal emphasis on great temperaments, confirmation, and production capabilities. With these goals in mind we set out each year to breed and produce a limited amount of animals according to these high standards. Quality is our #1 priority. All animals born on our farm will come registered through their registry unless they have been sold as a wether. Please feel free to contact us if you would like to become a part of the Starlander's family.
~Sales Policy ~
At Starlander's we have several options available to you. We offer a reservation list and a deposit list. The deposit list is for those willing to make a commitment and place a deposit down of 1/2 the purchase price prior to birth. This list will have limited spaces and will not exceed two people per sex per doe or three per sex per gilt or bitch. There are several advantages to being on this list. One advantage to being on the deposit list is that you will lock your purchase price in and receive a 5% discount off the price listed prior to birth. All listed prices are estimates and are subject to change once the babies are born and can be evaluated. We do not sell bucklings from first time fresheners. Anyone on a deposit list can transfer their deposit to another deposit list or receive a refund if the desired sex is not available with the original kidding/litter. We do not sell our poultry sexed and can't guarantee the sex of any poultry; therefore, no refunds will be given for a deposit placed on poultry because of the poultries sex.
The reservation list is for anyone who wants to be placed on a waiting list for a particular kidding/litter. This option is free; however, if anyone is placed on the deposit list this supersedes the reservation list. Once everyone’s needs on the deposit list has been fulfilled anyone on the reservation list has first right of refusal. You are placed on the reservation list in the order we are contacted. For those on the reservation list a deposit of 1/2 of the purchase price must be paid within 7 days of being informed about the animals birth. If a deposit is not paid within the allotted timeframe then your place on the reservation list is forfeited and the animal will be offered to the next in line.
All deposits are non-refundable unless there is an unexpected death, desired sex is not available (poultry are exluded), or the animal is retained. Starlander’s reserves the right to keep any animal born on our farm at any time. All our babies are ready to leave by 9 weeks (with the exception of poultry which can leave anytime after hatching) and must be picked up within 7 days. With prior approval animals can stay beyond this timeframe with a boarding fee of $2 a day. If animals are not picked up within the timeframe agreed upon then any deposit will be forfeited and the animal will be offered to the next in line.
All animals are sound and healthy at the time of leaving our farm. Once an animal leaves we no longer have control over the health or management and we can’t guarantee the health of an animal. If it should fall ill; however, we will help you to the best of our ability to regain its health. We do test for CAE and Johne’s and will be happy to show you the paperwork upon request.
The entire purchase price must be paid in full before taking your animal home. We do not accept personal checks unless it is to pay for your deposit. We also take cash or you can use credit/debit cards for an additional 4% processing fee. A 5% discount is offered for any of the following 4H, FFA, Milk Testing, Linear Appraisal, Showing, Buying Multiples, and U.S. Veterans. You can combine multiple discounts but they can not exceed 10% of the total purchase price. Discounts cannot be applied to wethers. The only discount offered on wethers is buy one get the second one at 50% off. The only discount offered for poultry is the 5% for those on the deposit list and a 5% discount if you purchase 7 or more.
If at any time after you purchase an animal from Starlander's and you are no longer able to keep it for whatever reason you must contact us prior to trying to rehome or selling for first right of refusal. We are always happy to have visitors if you would like to come out and see our animals before making any decisions. Just contact us and we would be more than happy to set up a time. We strive to make your purchase as wonderful as possible and are here for the lifetime of your animal if you should ever have any questions or need assistance don’t hesitate to get in touch with us.
