2025 Terms & Conditions for mature animals

Animals are sold in good condition and have a healthy, vibrant demeanor before they leave our property. Buyers are informed to the best of RCRLLC's ability about animal care and husbandry practices. Buyers are warned about the transition/transport of animals and the risks. Buyers are responsible for animals when they take them home including transport and any risks associated. RCRLLC recommends that any and all animals purchased should see a vet and have a fecal performed as a immediately after physical transfer/transport. We recommend deworming/parasite clean out ASAP when animals arrive to new environment as new environments and transport can cause a parasite bloom from stress. WE do not guarantee a 100% clean fecal due to goats naturally and often carrying a myriad of parasites (too low of EPG to see symptoms - deworm when symptomatic or if EPG is high based on vet recommendation) that require proper deworming after an accurate fecal is ran. We do our best to inform buyers of fecals and deworming/ deparasitic protocols. Parturition, pneumonia, and bloat can also be a risk in transport. RCRLLC takes no responsibility of animals once they leave the property of RCRLLC no matter the hours or days as animals can perspire from a multitude of illnesses almost immediately. It is encouraged to have an established vet relationship before pickup of animals or immediately after.

A non refundable retainer guarantees the hold for that animal(s) to the buyer and seller will not market the animal(s) for other buyers during the hold time. The non refundable retainer covers board costs associated with animal during the hold period. 

• The buyer has a maximum number of 5 days (5 day hold max) to pick up the goat after the retainer is put down. -beyond sale is forfeited and the non refundable retainer is not retained but goes to board fees. 
• Board is $10 per day
• The rest of the amount is due upon pick up
• Some exclusions apply specified by RCRLLC

It is the responsibility of the buyer that the buyer coordinates a reasonable time of pickup with the seller. There are few exceptions to the maximum 5 day hold. 

• Exceptions include: prior notice of buyer emergency  i.e. family emergency, prior notice that is accepted via recorded  sources, confirming the reason by the seller- not necessarily forfeiting the sale or return of the retainer. 
• Exceptions also included: seller extends the 5 day hold due to disclosed or non disclosed reasons, emergencies of any kind. In this case that the seller must  extend the 5 day hold, the seller will contact the buyer and no penalty/retainer forfeiture will be ensued. If the seller does not hear from or have any further  advances from the buyer about completing the purchase of the goat, via  documented sources such as email or cellular text message, then the deal is  assumed abandoned by seller and retainer is forfeited.  

NON REFUNDABLE retainers are not returned under many circumstances including and not limited to: buyer backing out for any reason, buyer's lack of finances/resources/interest, buyer's change of heart or anything of the matter that would affect the board costs and loss (and potential sale/interest of animal(s) to other possible buyers) of sale of the animal(s) to the seller. Some exclusions apply- in case of unborn kids. Retainers are used as board during hold periods. 

Refunds on retainers are only given if something were to happen on seller's side (ex: spoken animals come down with illness or succumb to death during the given hold time). In this instance, the retainer can be applied to another animal of seller's interest.

If buyer puts a deposit down for several animals, the retainer will be redistributed upon the spoken animals and the full, original retainer will not necessarily be returned in full if total hold is canceled by buyer (buyer can redistribute the paid retainer to the purchase price of total other animals). 

RCRLLC, the Seller, has the right to refuse the sale of animals to any persons for any reasons. RCRLLC has the right to deny or refuse persons from entering property at any time. 

Buyer Beware: buyers are responsible to do all research and ask all questions prior to buying and taking on a bottle kid(s). Bottle kids have risks to raising (are more vulnerable) and buyers understand these vulnerabilities and risks. RCRLLC does its due diligence to informing buyers as the best as they can and providing necessary information to help buyer raise kids. RCRLLC is not responsible for well being of animals once sold and MAY under certain circumstances accept a return of a kid minus all costs and fees. 

• All sales are final. We do not take back animals or refund due to the bio-security measures that we take. Before buyers make any addition to their farm, buyers must contemplate the risks, costs, complications, efforts, and responsibilities of any new animal. 
• All animals are sold with an outward appearance of being vibrant and healthy. If there are any problems, all health matters need to be addressed immediately by your vet.
