Our Policy
Bartman Farm reserves the right to cancel or refund any agreements or deposits to purchase an animal/animals prior to pick up date. This is at our sole discretion and is not debateable.
A nonrefundable down payment of 50% is required for any of Bartman Farm's animals that you want to reserve. All animals must be picked up within 14 days of sale or when weaned. Payment must be received within 5 business days to hold the animal or they will be added back to the current sales list or retained by Bartman Farm. At the time of pickup, the balance due must be paid in cash.
At the time of sale, an agreed upon pickup date will be determined by the Seller and Buyer. If the animal is not picked up within 14 days of the agreed upon date, the Buyer forfeits the animal as well as the down payment. The animal will be added back to the current sales list or retained by Bartman Farm. If the Seller agrees to a new pickup date (for an additional 14 days), a $2 per head per day charge is incurred on all animals. After the additional 14 days, the Buyer forfeits the animal as well as the down payment and the animal will be added back to the current sales list or retained by Bartman Farm.
Adequate transportation must be provided by the Buyer. All animals must be transported in an adequately sized, covered (winter months and rainy weather only), ventilated, safe cage/trailer where they may comfortably and safely stand, turn around and lay down. If you have unsatisfactory/unsafe transportation, Bartman Farm has the right to refuse the release of the animal. For buyers in the Sanford, NC area we have loaner cages available free of charge with a small deposit.
The Buyer must provide adequate fencing, food, care, shelter and fresh water for the animals. It is not acceptable to keep animals tied-out.
Goats will be sold in pairs only unless it is determined that the Buyer already has goats.
All animals are sold "AS IS". Because we cannot control stress that may occur as a result from shipping, the animals environment or management once they leave the farm, we are not responsible for any shipping stress, illness, death or their development. We cannot offer guarantees. You have the right to have any animal you purchase examined at our farm by a Veterinarian at your expense prior to pick up. All Bucks, regardless of quality, will be wethered at 8 weeks old and sold as pets or companion animal, unless purchased as a buck.
