Agistment Contracts

An Agistment Contract sets out the terms and conditions upon which a Land Owner will accept livestock/animals for agistment on their own property.

Agistment is the placement of livestock from one farm onto another for food, water, and shelter – in return for a fee (usually cost/head/week).

For a landholder agreeing to the agistment, there are important points that should be negotiated and decided upon, preferably in writing so that all parties are aware of their responsibilities.
