Terms of Service
Last updated: September 2026
What OwnYourHerd Is
OwnYourHerd is a marketplace that connects families with independent, vetted, pasture-based ranchers for direct livestock ownership. We do not raise, sell, ship, process, or insure livestock ourselves. Every ownership arrangement, including price, terms, and payment, is a direct agreement between you and the rancher.
Not an Investment
OwnYourHerd does not offer securities, investment contracts, or financial products of any kind. We do not guarantee profits, beef yields, market values, or any specific outcome. Livestock ownership carries real risk, including animal health, weather, and market conditions, as described on this site.

No Warranty
This website and its content are provided "as is." We work to keep pricing, availability, and ranch information current, but we do not guarantee that every detail on this site is error-free or up to date at all times. Confirm current pricing and availability directly with a rancher before making any decision.
Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, OwnYourHerd is not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of this website, your reliance on information found on it, or any ownership arrangement you enter into with a rancher.
