PLEASE READ in FULL BEFORE MESSAGING
*PLEASE NOTE: YOUR INTEREST IN BUYING FROM US DOES NOT GUARANTEE A SALE. WE DO NOT PLACE OUR BOVINES IN SITUATIONS NOT IN THEIR BEST INTEREST or THE NEEDS AND CAPABILITIES OF A BUYER. WE STRIVE THAT BOTH BUYER AND BOVINE ARE HAPPY WITH THEIR PURCHASE AND NEW LIVES TOGETHER
We DO NOT test for A2 it is not our focus, nor do we believe in it’s theory.
We DO NOT place bovines in a situation we feel is not right for their needs and/or personalities. We employ the right to refuse any sale without explanation.
If you are unwilling to answer questions about your situation , set up, lifestyle and purposes with relation to the animal you are interested in, don’t bother inquiring. I actually care about my cows and my buyer being right for each other and happy with the arrangement. Offending you by asking pertinent questions is not something I worry about.
We DO NOT sell cows as singular bovines : prospective homes must have or acquire a bovine herd mate; Bovines are herd driven animals , do better and are happier among their own kind.
We Do Not sell bottle babies. All calves born here are dam raised.*We do not load miniature cattle for travel during the winter months. Deposits and visit are happily accepted over the colder months, but any bovines offered over that period will be released in Spring. There are multiple health risks associated with winds and cold blowing across these little bovines for extended periods and changes of climate at the height of winter is not advisable.
*Please note that I do not attempt conversation through email or text regarding our available bovines; it is too much work waiting for each party to respond. If you have interest, you must call the above number. If you have no interest in investing your time in actual conversation, I am not your seller.

I will ask questions about your farm/homestead and lifestyle to ensure a proper fit for bovine and buyer alike. If this offends you, call a breeder/seller who doesn’t care whether you or the calf/cow will be happy with the transaction.
NOTE OF IMPORTANCE: We load ONLY into a fully enclosed commercially manufactured metal cattle or horse trailer with actual closed sides and regulation doors to transport. No fully open barred trailers and no homemade trailers or pens. We will notload on anything we consider unsafe or unhealthy for the bovines. This is not open to discussion. If you show up for loading with anything other than a sound, fully enclosed, manufactured trailer, I will not load. If you do not have an appropriate trailer, we do offer delivery within reason and at our discretion and convenience for a fee starting at $150 .
We only accept cash payment at loading. While non-refundable deposits are accepted via mailed or at viewing check to reserve an animal well in advance of pick up, all balances must be paid in cash at loading. No electronic payment or alternative forms of payment will be accepted. This policy is not open to discussion for any reason.
When to call/message us about a farm animal we are offering for sale:
* You already have a farm / homestead with adequate fencing, shelter, etc…and are prepared to bring an animal home presently even if not ours.

Note for clarity:
A2 testing
I have received multiple messages lately from folks seeking a ‘ small mini bovine ‘ and those seeking an ‘ A2’ cow or heifer.
As to why we do not offer such testing, nor concern ourselves with that trend, I have no collaborative evidence or legitimate corroborating study by an acknowledged or accredited entity to lend any support for the A2 theory, in fact I have seen only the opposite; the A2 theories have been debunked by 3 countries in independent studies. Until there is scientific evidence of the benefit of an A2 cow, I will not even humor the fad by testing–even at request. If people come around to the current knowledge that it was started by a random notion and is neither proven nor replicated in studies, my name and conscience will therefore be clear. If it is found to be legitimate, there is still no mud on my face and the only thing I have to regret is that I didn’t charge my buyer 10k for an A2 cow which I likely would refrain from anyhow.
Available Livestock general contract Terms:
*We are located in the town of St George, SC 29477. Please do not message me asking how far we are from your town/state. I’m sure I wouldn’t know. Use a GPS app and the above address info to determine distance.
*There is a deposit required to hold any livestock for any interested parties. That deposit is non-refundable as once you send us a deposit, we no longer consider sale to any other interested party. deposits vary from 1/3 to 1/2 the total price of the animal depending on the type of animal being purchased .
*You may pay your non-refundable deposit via mailed check with the term ‘ “non-refundable deposit” on ( animal name _____ )’ to be marked in notes section at the bottom of check. Deposit can also be made through invoice at paypal upon request for an extra charge to cover paypal fees. Please be aware that until deposits are received, the animal in question remains available.
***I strongly suggest that one does not put a deposit down on an animal one is not prepared to take possession of as soon as it is released for transfer.
- The only reason I refund a deposit is if I , personally, fail to complete the sale under the terms agreed upon in writing. In holding an animal for a buyer with deposit, I continue to feed, invest time and care, remove the animal from availability to other interested parties, furthering my financial and time investments and losing potential sales. Your purchased animal is also kept separately from the herd until pick up for it’s safety and so that the vet has access for health certificate if traveling out of state. These arrangements are an extra burden on us for time, chores and feeding if it goes on past the expected pick up date. A deposit is a COMMITMENT by both parties and I promise you , I will view it as such.
- Buyer is responsible for vet costs for any requested or necessary examinations for interstate travel to the buyer’s state. *Those costs must be paid up front and are non-refundable.
- We maintain intense biosecurity . For that reason, we do not allow anyone in to livestock areas. Viewing and interaction by interested and appropriate parties will be accommodated by ‘ pulling ‘ a specific bovine to a common viewing area. All areas are visible from a fence line.
- We NO LONGER DO SPECIALTY TESTING FOR POTENTIAL BUYERS as we have found it to be unnecessarily time consuming, counterproductive as the requesting party is always uncommitted while results pending and holds off possible sales to other interested parties while awaiting results.
- we live in a TB and Brucellosis free state.
- Our contact information is available on the site.
- We DO NOT buy livestock from auctions or sales barns ! We maintain a select , closed herd and only purchase additions from tightly run and tested , reputable farms.
- You will view your animal of purchase prior to accepting delivery. Due to numerous circumstances which may occur during transport or after delivery with exposure to other environments and/or persons and animals, Once you accept delivery of your animal I will not be responsible for illnesses or injury occurring as a result of travel or post loading incidences , exposures or infections.
