Terms
Deposit and balance
Deposit
35% of the purchase price, which reserves the animal and removes the listing.
Refundable?
Yes, in full, for 48 hours. After that it is non-refundable — from that point the animal is off the market and other buyers have been turned away.
Balance due
Before transport is booked, and within 14 days of the deposit — or on the schedule we agree if you are paying in instalments.
Payment plans
Yes. The animal stays here, fed and cared for at our cost, until the balance is paid — then she ships. We charge nothing for the arrangement.
Your paperwork
What your bill of sale includes
Every purchase comes with a written bill of sale. It identifies the animal by name, tag or registration number, states the agreed price and what has been paid, names both buyer and seller with addresses, and is dated and signed. Keep it — it is your proof of ownership, and you will want it if you ever register a calf or resell the animal.
Fraud
Paying safely at a distance
The methods above move money quickly, which is what makes them useful and also what makes them worth being careful with. Once a wire or a transfer lands, it is generally gone. We would far rather you took ten minutes to check than sent funds to the wrong place.
Before you send anything
- Reply on the thread you started. Never use contact details that arrive in a new message. Reply inside the email conversation that began at farm@angusnherefordsonline.com and read the account name or handle back to us for confirmation. This one step defeats almost every impersonation attempt.
- Our only email address is farm@angusnherefordsonline.com. Anything from a different domain is not us, however close it looks.
- Payment details never change mid-deal. If you receive a message saying our account has changed, stop. That is the most common fraud in livestock sales.
- We never publish bank details on this website. Anyone showing you "our" account details on a web page is not us.
- We do not ask for gift cards or cryptocurrency. Ever, for any reason.
For a first purchase, or a larger one, we are happy to take a smaller deposit first so you can see the process work before the balance moves. Ask and we will set it up that way.
Common questions
Questions about paying
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes. Tell us what works and we will agree a schedule of instalments. The animal stays here, fed and cared for at our cost, until the balance is paid — then she ships. We charge nothing for the arrangement.
When does the animal become mine?
On payment of the balance in full. Registration transfer is filed after that; see how to buy.
Can I pay a smaller deposit first to test the process?
Yes. On a first purchase we are glad to take a smaller holding deposit so you can see the receipt and paperwork arrive before the balance moves. Just ask.
Is freight paid separately?
Yes. Freight is calculated at checkout from your delivery address and is never added after the fact — see shipping and delivery.
Any doubt, ask first
Email us before you send anything. We would rather answer a careful question than sort out a problem afterwards.
