Ordering livestock
We strive to ensure that we honour all orders placed online. However, we are a small, busy shop and tracking livestock inventory can be challenging. If we are unable to fulfil your order, we will contact you as soon as possible to discuss options so that you can decide how you would like to proceed.
If livestock are appearing out of stock on our website, it does not necessarily mean that they are not available in store. If there is something that you are looking for, please contact us and we will be happy to discuss what is possible.
