Policies

Last updated: September 2026

Important: Finch Farms Beef currently serves customers in the Roswell, New Mexico area. Beef shares are pickup-only. Individual cut orders can be picked up at the ranch or delivered locally — choose your option at checkout.

Beef Shares — Pickup Only

All whole-animal shares (Quarter, Half, Whole) are currently available for pickup only from our ranch in Roswell, NM or from the processing facility. We do not offer shipping on beef shares at this time.

Once your beef is ready, we will contact you to arrange a pickup time. You are responsible for bringing adequate coolers or transportation to preserve the beef during your trip home.


Individual Cut Orders

Individual cuts are available for farm pickup in Roswell, NM or local delivery in the Roswell area. Choose your option at checkout — any delivery fee is shown before you pay.

  • All beef is vacuum-sealed and frozen at the processor
  • We'll contact you to set a pickup or delivery time once your order is ready
  • Please bring a cooler for pickup, or be available to receive frozen deliveries promptly
  • We don't ship outside the local area at this time — contact us if you're farther away

Processing & Turnaround

Beef shares are processed at a USDA-licensed facility. Processing typically takes 2–4 weeks from the processing date. We will keep you updated on the timeline once your reservation is confirmed.

Processing dates are set by availability at the facility and the animal's readiness. We will give you as much advance notice as possible before your beef is ready for pickup.

All sales are final. Due to the perishable nature of beef and the scheduling required for livestock processing, we are unable to offer refunds or cancellations once an order or reservation has been placed.

No Refunds, No Cancellations

When you place a beef share reservation or order individual cuts from Finch Farms Beef, you agree that the sale is final and non-refundable. This applies to:

  • Beef share deposits (Quarter, Half, Whole)
  • Remaining share balance payments
  • Individual cut orders

Once a share reservation is received and a processing date is assigned to your animal, the order cannot be cancelled. The animal is scheduled for harvest and processing specifically for your order.


Why This Policy Exists

This is standard practice for direct beef sales. When you reserve a share, a specific animal is committed to your order. We cannot "un-schedule" processing after the commitment is made, and we cannot resell a share on short notice to recoup losses.

Beef is a perishable, time-sensitive product. We take food safety seriously, and once beef leaves the processor, it cannot be returned or exchanged under any circumstances.


Exceptions

We are not a faceless corporation. If something unusual happens — an error on our end, a documented quality issue, or a circumstance we couldn't have anticipated — we will work with you directly and in good faith.

If you believe there is a legitimate issue with your order, please contact us as soon as possible. We will review every situation on its own merits.

Please note: change of mind, freezer issues, or failure to arrange pickup by the agreed date do not qualify for refunds.


Before You Order

We encourage every customer to ask questions before placing an order. If you're uncertain about share size, freezer space, cut preferences, timing, or anything else — reach out first. We'd much rather answer questions upfront than have a dissatisfied customer.


Payment Disputes

Filing a chargeback or payment dispute with your bank for a valid order is a violation of these terms. We will provide documentation of your order and our policy to the payment processor in response to any such dispute.
