Return and Refund Policy

AMA Acres – Return & Refund Policy

Effective Date: 01/01/2026

Because we sell live animals, all sales are considered final once the animal leaves our property.

We encourage all buyers to carefully inspect animals at the time of pickup and ask any questions before completing the sale.

1. No Returns on Live Animals

For the safety of our herd and biosecurity reasons:

We do not accept returns of animals
We do not offer exchanges once an animal has left our property

Animals that leave the farm are exposed to outside environments and cannot safely be brought back.

2. Health at Time of Sale

To the best of our knowledge at pickup:

Animals are healthy and fit
Any known conditions are disclosed

Once the animal leaves AMA Acres:

All care and responsibility transfer to the buyer
We are not responsible for stress, illness, injury, or death caused by transport, environment, feed, or care practices

We always recommend establishing a relationship with a qualified livestock veterinarian.

3. Refunds

Refunds are generally not provided after pickup of the animal.

Refunds may be offered only at our discretion if:

An animal you reserved becomes unavailable while still in our care
There is an error on our part prior to pickup

Deposits are non-refundable unless otherwise stated in writing.

4. Buyer Responsibility

By purchasing an animal from AMA Acres, the buyer acknowledges:

Livestock ownership involves risk
Growth, temperament, fertility, show results, or meat quality are not guaranteed
Proper nutrition, housing, veterinary care, and handling are the buyer’s responsibility

We are happy to answer questions and offer general guidance, but ultimate responsibility belongs to the buyer.
