Q: How do I pay for the remainder of my whole lamb after making a pre-order?
A: Once your lamb is reserved with a purchase of a pre-order, a team member will contact you to schedule a processing date and answer any questions you have. next, you will recieve an invoice to pay off your remaining balance. Grizzly Acres Farm must be paid in full by the time the animal is sent for processing.
