Pregnancy Determination

The females in this sale noted safe in calf have been determined pregnant by physical palpation. Our best estimate of service sire will be given in the case of the females with both an A.I. sire and a natural breeding sire.

Options And Privileges Of Return Or Adjustment

The following adjustments do not preclude the right of the Purchaser and Seller to mutually agree upon other terms and conditions for settlement of any dispute. All claims for adjustment or refund must be made in writing either within six (6) months from the date of sale or no later than when the animal reaches 24 months of age, whichever occurs later, with the exception of claims involving parentage or defects. All returns or refunds will be paid in the form of a replacement animal of similar quality or in credit for use on any products marketed by the seller. a) This credit will be limited to the purchase price less the salvage value of the animal.

1) In the event an animal is claimed to be a non-breeder, the animal may be returned to the ranch of the Seller, at Purchaser’s expense, if in good physical condition, and the return is in compliance with the health requirements of the Seller’s state. The Seller shall be entitled to a six (6) month trial period following the return of the animal in which to prove that the animal is a breeder. If at the end of six (6) months, the Seller is unable to prove the animal is a breeder, the seller shall, at the option of the Purchaser, replace the animal with another of similar value or grant the Purchaser a credit on any products marketed by Seller. Either of these options shall be deemed full satisfaction and settlement. If the Seller proves the animal to be a breeder, it shall be the obligation of the Purchaser to take delivery of the animal and pay all expenses incurred for transportation. 2) If a registered female sold as “safe-in-calf” proves not to be in calf (by the projected due date listed in the catalog or sale day supplement), the Purchaser may receive service from the bull previously used, if available or if the bull is not available the Seller shall be obligated to credit or refund the Purchaser $400. Any adjustment provided for herein shall absolve the Seller from further liability, except in case such female proves to be a non-breeder. If a female represented as “safe-in-calf” at time of sale to a certain bull proves to have been bred to a different bull, the Seller shall be obligated to reimburse the Purchaser up to $600

(adjustments shall not be considered to be a breeding fee or an allocation of the purchase price to any unborn calf). This does NOT apply to any female exposed to more than one bull via artificial insemination and/or natural service. Any expenses incurred for transportation shall be the responsibility of the Purchaser. 3) If a female sold as “open” proves to be with calf, the Purchaser may return the animal to the ranch of the Seller prior to calving for a credit of the full purchase price or for another animal of similar value, whichever is acceptable to the Purchaser. It shall be the obligation of the Seller to bear any expense incurred for transportation.

If a bull is sold and at a later date proves not to be eligible for registration under association rules, the seller shall be obligated to make a satisfactory adjustment on the purchase price to the buyer, refund the purchase price or issue a credit for the initial selling price upon the return of the animal to the farm of the seller.

If an animal is sold and through DNA is proven to have incorrect parentage as represented by the certificate of registration, and for which the parentage can be determined, the seller shall be obligated to make a satisfactory adjustment on the purchase price to the buyer, refund the purchase price or issue a credit for the initial selling price upon the return of the animal to the farm of the seller.
