What is a Livestock Bill of Sale?

A Livestock Bill of Sale is a legal agreement that you can use to record the purchase or sale of livestock. Whether you're buying or selling cattle, goats, or swine, a Bill of Sale can help you have a defined understanding of your rights and responsibilities. As the buyer or the seller, you can protect yourself and the person you are doing business with by putting your purchase agreement in writing. A complete Livestock Bill of Sale will take into consideration several details, such as registry papers, vet clearance, sale price, and plans for transportation. By putting this contract in writing, you'll protect your investment in the livestock, whether you're buying or selling the animal(s). In addition to providing proof of purchase, a Livestock Bill of Sale may also be used to document the transfer of ownership for legal or tax purposes.

When to use a Livestock Bill of Sale:

  • You're planning on buying or selling livestock and want to see what sort of preparations need to be considered.
  • You're buying or selling livestock and want to put the contract in writing.
