Terms & Deposit Policy
Live-animal shares
Punta Wagyu Ranch sells a share of the live animal of a live fullblood Japanese Wagyu steer. You are not purchasing retail cuts or packaged beef from us. Ownership of your fractional interest transfers before slaughter, documented by bill of sale.
Shares are for household use, not resale. Custom-exempt beef from your share cannot be resold, served in restaurants, or sold at farmers markets.
Pricing
Beef cost is calculated per lb hanging weight for your share, based on actual hanging weight reported by the processor. Processing fees are paid separately, pro-rata, directly to the processor.
Deposits
Half share deposit: $500. Quarter share deposit: $250.
Your deposit applies to the final balance. It becomes non-refundable once the harvest date for your animal is scheduled. If the ranch cancels, you are refunded in full. If harvest has not happened within two months of your deposit, you are refunded in full — that guarantee overrides forfeiture.
