BEEF SALES AGREEMENT

This Beef Sales Agreement ("Agreement") is entered into between Turnagain Farms, LLC ("Seller"), located at 5623 Hewlett Road, Ruther Glen, VA 22546, and the undersigned purchaser ("Buyer"). Buyer understands and agrees that by signing this Agreement, Buyer accepts and agrees to all terms and conditions set forth below.

1. Product Description

Seller agrees to sell, and Buyer agrees to purchase, a share of beef from Seller. All beef is pasture (forage) raised and grain finished for 90 days or less. Grass-fed beef is available by advance request only.

2. Price and Processing

The purchase price is $6.50 per pound based on hanging weight, as determined by the processing facility ("Processor"). The price includes standard processing. Any custom or extra processing requests are the responsibility of the Buyer and will be added to final invoice. Quarter shares incur an additional $15.00 quartering fee. Applicable Virginia state sales tax will be calculated by Seller and added to the final invoice.

3. Definitions

Hanging Weight means the weight of the carcass (minus hide, head, body fluids and organs) as determined by the Processor on certified scales. Processor means the third-party meat processing facility used by Seller. Ready for Pickup means the date Seller notifies Buyer that the beef has been returned from the Processor and is available for pickup.

4. Deposit

A non-refundable deposit is due at the signing of this Agreement as follows: $400.00 for whole or half beef, and $200.00 for quarter beef. Deposits will be applied as a credit toward the final purchase price. Payment must be received before a share is guaranteed, a receipt will be given when deposit is received. 

5. Final Price Determination

The final balance due will be calculated based on the actual hanging weight multiplied by the price per pound, plus applicable sales tax and any additional processing fees incurred by Buyer.

6. Payment Terms

Buyer will receive an invoice once hanging weight is confirmed. Payment of the final balance is due within fifteen (15) days of invoicing (NET 15). Accepted payment methods include cash, check payable to Turnagain Farms, LLC, or credit card (processing fee applies). Returned checks will incur a $45.00 fee.

7. Pickup and Storage

Buyer must pick up the beef on the date the seller picks up from the Processor. Buyer is responsible for providing adequate coolers and transportation. A storage fee of $20.00 per day will be charged for any beef not picked up within the required timeframe. Risk of loss transfers to Buyer upon pickup from the farm.

8. Buyer Default

Failure to pay the final balance within the required time constitutes a material breach of this Agreement. In such event, Buyer forfeits the deposit and loses all rights to the beef.

9. Seller Non-Performance

If Seller is unable to provide the beef as contracted for any reason, Buyer’s deposit will be fully refunded, and Seller shall have no further liability.

10. Natural Variability

Buyer acknowledges that livestock weight, yield, and final take-home quantity vary naturally and are not guaranteed.

11. Force Majeure

Seller shall not be liable for delays or non-performance caused by events beyond Seller’s reasonable control, including weather, livestock loss, processor delays, or acts of God.

12. Governing Law

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia.

13. Entire Agreement

This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes all prior discussions or representations, whether oral or written.
