Livestock Sale

  1. You agree to properly educate yourself in terms of animal care, nutrition, housing, social needs and so forth, and that you are not buying an animal on a whim without any research. Some animals can live 30-50 years.
  2. I guarantee to always be here to the best of my ability to answer any questions and/or address concerns. I will never leave animal owners without assistance. In the event of issues with an animal purchase, you will establish contact with Burns Homestead first.
  3. I reserve the right to refuse business to anyone for any reason at my discretion. Should I feel that an animal is not a good fit or someone refuses to purchase items necessary to the animal’s survival, I reserve the right to refuse the sale. I do not take this decision lightly, nor do I take my responsibility to the animals I care for and place lightly.
