We are in NC, we have registered, unregistered, & bottle babies coming in Feb. ALL our goats are tested. We breed dairy goats.
Not sure where in NC you are, and NOT trying to sell you goats but always welcome to talk goats and sometimes visiting a farm can be very beneficial. We know several farms that test for all 3 and are very respectable. You really want breeders that mentor. All the questions you have above are far down the road, the immediate things are what will be important at first. ;)

Johnes is only one of the tests.

Anyone that says they test... ASK to see the proof of documentation BEFORE you buy.
You really want whole herd, consecutive. ;)
Sadly many now are wording ads to be very deceptive.

Our vet refers many of our clients and I can say that often when people come and are around the goats and different types and personalities they end up getting a who;e different breed then they thought they wanted. LOL

We just sold our mini nubians.
