Transportation

• Transportation of livestock to the Buyer is the Buyer’s responsibility, although we will make every effort to facilitate pickup by Buyer or commercial carrier.   Buyer will pay Seller’s expenses (mileage) to meet Buyer or Transport if necessary.
• Health tests, health certificates or documentation requested by the Buyer, or required by the state where the buyer resides, shall be arranged and paid for by the Buyer. See https://www.interstatelivestock.com/ for detailed requirements for your state.

• Due to the stress of transportation and adjustment to new living conditions, or differences in feed and water, Seller takes no responsibility for the health of the livestock after it is loaded into the transport vehicle.
• If Seller or Veterinarian deems transportation not suitable for the health of the animal (weather, length of trip, transport vehicle, etc. ), Seller will issue a refund to Buyer.

Health

• Seller makes no other warranties, express or implied, including the warranties of fitness, height, show quality, kid production, udder quality, etc. It is recommended Buyer check your animal for “defects” (teats or testicles, etc.) before the animal leaves the property. No refund will be given after the animal leaves the property if a “defect” later appears.
• All kids will be disbudded and wethers will be surgically castrated before leaving Seller’s farm unless sold as a bottle baby or other arrangements are made. Seller is not liable for scurs that can occur.
• Seller does not offer any health or wellness guarantees after the goat has left our farm since we cannot control the management of the goat(s) once it/they leave our farm.
• Any kids who are the result of a doe purchased bred will carry the herd name: Rafter O and the buyer’s tattoo numbers. Any animals sold bred are guaranteed bred only if blood test performed at Buyer’s expense is positive, however, Seller offers no guarantees or has any control over abortion, absorption or loss of fetus, before or after delivery due to stress, management, natural causes, etc.

Returns

• We do not accept the return of livestock due to possible exposure to diseases.  An exception MAY be made in certain RARE circumstances at the discretion of the Seller and shall be indicated by the following additional statement on the Bill of Sale:  “Buyer and Seller agree that goat(s) may be returned within 30 days for any reason, in which case purchase price less $200.00 will be refunded. Valid only if initialed below by Buyer and Seller.” ***PLEASE NOTE REGARDING RETURNS:  For reasons of biosecurity, this clause MAY only be included for buyers who have had and currently have no other goats on their property, and will not be purchasing any goats other than those from the Seller within the 30 day return period.  Even in these cases, the option for return is at the discretion of the Seller.***

By signing below I, the Buyer, acknowledge that I have read, understand, and agree to the terms of sale listed above.  Buyer will also allow Transport to act on their behalf.
