Policies regarding livestock sales
Políticas sobre la venta de animales de granja
We do not sell live animals clients without prior arrangement. All sales of pigs and lambs must be arranged at least 48 hours in advance; sales of live poultry must be arranged at least one day in advance. Under no circumstances will we sell livestock to people who arrive on our farm without prior arrangement. For legal reasons, we will not slaughter large livestock (pigs, lambs, etc.) for clients. For liability reasons, we do not allow clients to kill or butcher livestock on our property; please click here if you would like a longer explanation of our reasons. All on-farm slaughter and butchery of mammals must be done by an independent butcher who carries liability insurance. All on-farm slaughter of poultry is conducted under federal exemption and must be arranged in advance. There is no same-day service for poultry butchery. Please click here for a full explanation of our rules for purchases of live poultry.
