..KINDERS CALLING....
I remember it was about a year to date, that I started to look into goats. I found a list, that had goats listed by their origins and what they provide. The one that stuck out for me was the Kinder, do to its duel purpose qualities. It wasn't long be for I knew that Kinders were the goat for me. Not only was it because of the quality of meat and milk, but because of their mild demeanor, hardiness, size, I could just go on lol.
. It took me lots of phone calls, no call backs, and a lot of persistence(calling back) and such to find out what had to be done in order to have Kinders from another state. and this is what I found...
1.) In talking to the vt. state vet..I have to call her in advance when I know the date of pick up, she sends me a license (1 for each goat) that has to be filled out by the breeders vet..Shots, records, a clean bill of health !! Then the breeders vet has to call the Vt. state appointed vet and go over every thing to be sure all is in order. Then the VT. State appointed Vet will give a license #number, (1 for each goat). this #number is what will allow the goats to be transferred into Vermont. Once they are here. I then have to call the Vt. State app. vet to let her know, and see if she has any other requirements. If not we're good to go.
..I am going to have my vet come to check them out, if only to get acquainted. I would like to work with my vet, on a plan of action when it comes to there health, at least until I get to know things myself.
I"LL BE BACK !!!

That's interesting that you need a license to send to the breeder. We've never had to do that. The breeder has a vet come out and do a health inspection, he fills out a health paper (can have more than one animal on it) that has ID info (tag and/or tattoo number), DOB, breeder's name and address, buyers name and address, etc....The paper travels with the animal(s) to their final location and that's it.

Hey there Purplequeen ! Ya...that paper all that information goes on, comes from me and it has a time frame to it also. When the breeders Vet calls VT., then and only then, we obtain the license number for the transport. . Things may have changed ?..

I'm really confused. I looked up the import requirements for VT and it looks like you need a permit....but I've NEVER heard of ANYONE getting one. We've purchased rams from OR and OH and didn't have to get one. We got a CVI (certificate of veterinarian inspection) for a group of sheep going to MA, didn't have to do any paperwork for an import permit. Lots of people I know have purchased sheep from out of state and, as far as I know, they didn't need any kind of permit besides an interstate health certificate. 
Are you transporting them yourself or are you hiring a company?

Perhaps I may be describing the permit,,?? I'm going to get them myself. Now I wonder if I have it right ?? I think I'll give them a call Tuesday, it'll take a few days for them to get back to me. (The State that is ) Thanks for your in put Purplequeen, its much welcomed, because if I'm writing it here I want it to be a fact..We'll get this straight.
Mean while I did hear back from the Vt. sheep & goat association, and the Kinder name will be recognized..
Do you belong Purplequeen ?
