How do you guys handle sales????

I also bought my horses unseen and unchecked. They turned out wonderful w/o issues.
I guess I trust people too much to be honest.

They lady's kid came home from school sick, she won't be coming tomorrow.
I'll get gloves or disinfectant Monday after work. Gives the lambs more time to wean.

The first goat doe I purchased turned out to be what I'm thinking was a hermaphrodite, but could have been a been a wether.

Most good sheep sites say ( VISITORS ALWAYS WELCOME ), people who are proud of their stock and want to sell, always allow buyers to come out and see their operation., And inspect the livestock, Adults and young, when you do this it also has good effects such as repeat cutomers.

I'm seeing a common theme in your threads. You really need a small pen in your pasture! Just build one out of pallets and feed them in it. Not stressful to them, and it gets the job done. I personally wouldn't buy an animal I haven't seen in person. If your buyer(s) is/are ok with buying them sight unseen, then good. But if not, sounds like you'll have to change something.

Have to agree with this. Would want to examine the feet, eyes, texture of the wool, energy level, overall general health that doesn't show up in pictures.

Performing due diligence will pay off in a healthy flock and no regrets.
