Availability
All
of our cattle are for sale, however, for the benefit of
our breeding goals, some foundation animals may be unavailable
for purchase due to the integral part they might play in
that effort. In some cases, we may select a new heifer or
young bull to add to our own breeding herd. This will be
noted in the website information about that animal or indicated
on our current price list.
Pricing
/ Right of Withdrawal
We
reserve the right to withdraw any animal from sale availability,
as long as no offer is pending for that animal. Prices may
change at any time and without notice, due to market fluctuations,
extreme weather conditions, herd size, or calving and re-breeding
schedules. Prices will not be adjusted for a period of 30
days for any animals with pending offers on them.
Registration
A
TLBAA Registration Certificate and transfer of ownership
of the animal will be furnished to the Buyer free of charge
upon the qualified sale of an animal. Transfers will not
be completed with the breeder's association until all payments
have cleared.
Payment
Methods
Full
payment is required at the time of purchase, except for
special, or seasonal, "lay-away" arrangements.
We will accept deposits of 50% of the purchase price to
hold an unweaned calf in your name until it is old enough
to leave the ranch.
Payments
will be accepted via cash
or cashier's check.
Personal checks are only accepted
from established customers.
For long distance orders or large purchases, wire transfers
can be arranged to our account.
Checks should be made payable to: J&B
Texas Longhorn Ranch
Possession
After acceptance of an offer
to purchase and payment transactions are completed, the
Buyer will assume possession of the animal. The
sole risk and responsibility for the animal belongs
to the new owner. Possession cannot be obtained until payment
has cleared. Should
the Buyer want to delay the pick-up of the animal,
boarding fees will incur as outlined below. If an animal
is boarded with us, all risk and responsibility remains
with the owner.
Health
& Branding
All heifer calves born and
raised at J&B Texas Longhorn Ranch will have received
their Official Calfhood Vaccination (OCV) for brucellosis
with eartag and ear tatoo numbers. All calves are also vaccinated
for blackleg, various viral infections, and lepto/vibrio
at this time and will have received scheduled worming medication.
All calves will be branded by us (holding brand and private
herd numbers) before leaving the ranch, unless they are
sold as an unweaned calf at side with the dam. Young bull
calves or steers can be purchased as registered or unregistered
/ branded or not branded.
Guarantee
We guarantee the health of
all of our animals up until possession by the new owner.
If an animal is purchased for breeding stock, we guarnatee
the breeding ability of that animal.
Lay-Aways
and Boarding
We
will consider lay-away arrangements for some purchases.
These terms will be decided on a case-by-case basis and
layaway purchases may be subject to boarding fees.
Boarding
fees* for weaned/adult animals will
be $2.00 per day for summer months (April -Sept) and $4.00
per day for fall/winter months (October - March). Unweaned
calves will not be subject to a boarding fee until weaning
has occurred and after a two-week adjustment period for
the calf. We strongly suggest a two week period before taking
possession of a young calf.
*
Boarding fees will be subject to change without notice based
on fluctuations of feed costs. |
