Breeding Guarantee

All bulls selling in the sale have passed a Complete Breeding Soundness Exam. However, all bulls should still be rechecked as close to turnout as possible. All bulls are guaranteed for fertility and genetic soundness for their first breeding season. If the bull is proven to be a non-breeder for fertility or a genetically caused soundness condition, we will replace the bull with a satisfactory replacement or issue credit of the purchase price minus the salvage value to be used in future sales. This guarantee does not cover injury, infectious disease, mismanagement, neglect and/or death. We ask that you contact us immediately before culling or disposing of the bull should anything occur. A signed veterinary statement and/or BSE form will be required. Bulls are not guaranteed to freeze semen unless an agreement is reached prior to the sale.
