Veliraf Farms Sales Policy
In order to decrease any misunderstandings or hard feelings, please carefully read the following terms & conditions of sale:
A $50 deposit, made payable to Nicole Heath, will reserve the sheep of your choice for 30 days until arrangements can be made for pick-up. Reservations are made upon a first come first served basis. Only those reservations accompanied by a deposit can be honored. Be sure to let me know what your second choice will be, preferably in order of birth, in case your first choicelambs are not available. Deposits will be forfeited if buyer backs out of the sale.
We reserve the right to retain any lamb to remain in our herd, even if a deposit has been made on them. In that case, deposits will be refunded or another lamb may be chosen. That selection is often not made until after birth. Your deposit will be returned if both your choices are unavailable or are unsuitable, in our estimation, for sale. If you choose to, the deposit may be placed on another choice if available. Balance of payment is due upon notification that your lamb is available and must be paid for in full prior to pick up or shipping.
All shipping costs (transportation, health certificates, crates, etc.) are the responsibility of the buyer. You must supply your own shipping crate, you can send the money and I will buy a crate for you and then I will ship the lamb of your choice in it. We ship out of Pearson International Airport in Mississauga, and charge a nominal $35 fee for transportation to the airport. We will test any animal for TB,CAE, CL, Johnnes or Brucellosis at buyers request & expense. We can also deliver animals to any of the shows/fairs that we are planning to attend for a fee of $75 or less depending on location. The cost of health papers will be the responsibility of buyer.
We try to be truthful in our descriptions. Our sheep are healthy and free of visual defects when we sell them. Since we cannot control their environment once they leave our barn, we cannot offer further guarantees. If a problem develops, we will work with you to make it right. Our reputation is very valuable to us and we want you to be pleased with your purchase.
We guarantee our animals to be free of any disqualifying faults in the show ring although we don't guarantee horns on ram lambs that have been purchased. We guarantee fertility in all of our animals.(If this would ever arise, please contact us and we will gladly give you the specific guidelines we need in order for you to receive your replacement.)
We guarantee that our animals will be healthy at time of pick-up or delivery. We will not be responsible for stress of any kind after the animal leaves our farm.
Stress is very common in both lambs and adults of all ages when moved from one place to another. Illness and sometimes death can occur if the animal is not properly handled or treated. Veliraf Farm WILL NOT be held responsible in any way. These things very seldom happen, but unfortunately they can.
Thank you for your interest in Veliraf Farms Shetland Sheep.
