Terms and Conditions

1. Nature of Services

• Field & Cattle operates as a marketplace platform connecting consumers with independent farmers for the purchase of beef and related livestock products.
• We do not raise, butcher, or process cattle ourselves. All beef and livestock products are provided directly by the farmers.
• Farmers remain responsible for compliance with all applicable state and federal laws, including USDA or custom-exempt regulations.

2. Orders and Payment

• Orders placed through Field & Cattle constitute agreements between the buyer and the farmer.
• Deposits and final payments may be required before cattle are processed. Specific timelines will be communicated at the time of order.
• Field & Cattle may collect payment on behalf of the farmer and transfer funds, but we are not responsible for product quality, processing timelines, or farmer performance.

3. Delivery and Pickup

• Delivery or pickup arrangements will be coordinated directly with the farmer or a delivery partner.
• Field & Cattle is not liable for delays, spoilage, or loss once the product is delivered to the agreed location.
• Customers are responsible for providing accurate delivery addresses and ensuring someone is available to receive orders.

4. Custom Exempt and USDA Sales

• Some farmers may sell beef under custom-exempt processing, which requires customers to purchase a live share of the animal before slaughter.
• Other sales may be through USDA-inspected facilities, which allow resale by the cut.
• Customers are responsible for understanding these differences before making a purchase.

5. Refunds and Cancellations

• All sales are considered final once processing has begun.
• Refunds or cancellations may be offered at the sole discretion of the farmer. Field & Cattle may assist with disputes but does not guarantee refunds.

6. Liability

Field & Cattle is a broker and facilitator only. We are not responsible for:

• The health, safety, or quality of beef sold.
