The British Blue Cattle Society

BLUE FACTS Conditions of Warranty Taking care to settle a newly purchased bull properly will assist in ensuring that you have many years of good service from him.

Under the terms of the British Blue Bull Breeding Warranty the purchaser is required to maintain the animal in normal breeding condition, in accordance with the rules and practice of good animal husbandry and management, as referred to in clauses 4.2 and 6.1 and 8.1.4.2.

Following purchase the Society would require a purchaser to adhere to the following points to fulfil the requirement of ‘Good husbandry and management’ 1)

The bull is not used within 14 days of the date of purchase

3)

When the bull is first used, try it with 1-2 smaller cows first, in a yard on a non-slip surface, so he is introduced to service gradually and safely. Observe him closely to ensure that he is inseminating the cow properly; thus giving the opportunity to identify any possible problems at an early stage, this being very much in the purchaser’s interest.

2)

4) 5) 6)

Ensure that the bull is in ‘Breeding condition’ before use

Once you are satisfied that these cows are not returning then put the bull out with the rest of your cows. 20 to 25 cows is a maximum in the first year

British Blues bulls are warranted fertile from 20 months of age. The Bull is not warranted if it is used prior to this age It is a fact that ‘British Blues’ as a breed, sexually mature, 4-5 months later than some other breed’s please bear this in mind FAILURE TO OBSERVE THE ABOVE WILL INVALIDATE A CLAIM UNDER THE BULL BREEDING WARRANTY

Important Notice to Vendors ARRIVAL OF STOCK: As per timetable of events (page 5).

PRE-SALE INSPECTION: All animals entered for the sale must be available for inspection in the sale premises by a panel of inspectors, including a qualified Veterinary Officer. The Inspectors will have regard to general health and genetic defects, particularly mouth, teeth, eyes, testicles, locomotion and general conformation. Any animal discovered with a genetic fault, disease, disorder or is considered by the panel to be not in a proper and healthy condition to be presented as representing a good specimen of the breed will be REJECTED and the Entry Fee forfeit. Animals will be placed in a crush for this inspection - as required by the inspectors. No pedigree or grade registered stock, entered for the sale, shall have horns.

Two Society Members will form an appeal committee, one of whom will be a society council member.

The appeal committee will be elected prior to the sale.

If any exhibitor feels the need to formally lodge an appeal against the result of an inspection, they must from the beginning speak ONLY to the Chief Inspector. He will then ask for a deposit of £20 from the exhibitor. The appeal committee will then carry out their own inspection of the animal and their decision will be final. The deposit will only be returned if the appeal is successful.

RECORD WEIGHTS & HEIGHTS: All bulls will be weighed and measured by an official as an integral part of the pre-sale inspection procedure and the data will be displayed above the animals pen.

EVERY ANIMAL entered for the SHOW and SALE must be halter trained and shall have no horns. Bulls must be led with a nose rope. Every animal entered for the sale must be provided with a serviceable halter, which shall become the property of the Purchaser.

UK TAGS/TATTOO MARKS - All cattle entered for the Sale will have their UK Tags/Tattoo marks examined as an integral part of the pre sale inspection procedure. Any marks found to have faulty, incorrect or illegible marks will be REJECTED from the Sale. Vendors are therefore urged, in their own best interests, to examine the UK Tags/Tattoo marks of Sale cattle before the animal(s) leave their farm, so that faulty marks can be recitified in accordance with the required Society procedures.

CONDITIONS OF SALE The sale will be held subject to the Auction Rules and Conditions of Sale drawn up by the British Blue Cattle Society: “No member shall withdraw from sale any animal catalogued for sale. Any member who, having entered an animal for sale under these rules, fails to bring that animal to that sale, must produce, either at the sale or by post to reach the Registered office of the Society within 7 days of the sale, a veterinary surgeon’s certificate accounting for such absence on grounds of health. Failure to produce such a certificate within the time stipulated will automatically render the member liable to a summary fine of £50 (imposed by the Council and subject to variation from time to time) in respect of each animal not brought forward. In addition, all entry fees will be forfeited, and no further pedigree registrations or entries for other sales will be accepted from that member until such fine or fines have been paid.”

The proceeds of sale are guaranteed by the Auctioneers, who will account to Vendors on the day of the Sale.

Such guarantee, however, does not extend to the animals sold for export, to which special conditions apply.

UPSET PRICES - There will be an “upset” price of 1500gns on each bull presented for sale - i.e. if no opening bid of 1500gns is received for any particular lot that lot will be passed out of ring unsold.

ALL REGISTERED CATTLE entered for the Show & Sale (Pedigree or Grade Register), also pregnant recipient cows or heifers will be sold in guineas (105 pence) and a commission 5% will be charged by the Auctioneers on all sale.

RESERVE PRICES: Vendors shall have the right to refuse to accept the final bid for their animals, or to fix a Reserve Price, which must be notified to the Auctioneers in writing before or at the time their animal enters the Sale Ring. The auctioneers reserve the right to charge half commission on the amount of the final bid in the case of animals which fail to reach the Vendors reserve price.

All animals will be sold in guineas (105 pence) and a commission of 5% will be charged by the Auctioneers on all sales.

5 No animal may be sold privately before being passed through the Auction Ring and FULL COMMISSION will be charged on the sale of any animal sold by private treaty after the auction. All such transactions MUST BE PASSED THROUGH THE AUCTIONEERS OFFICE.

Level 2:

Herds with level 2 status have had one or two clear consecutive herd tests. Health plan required.

Level 3:

Herds with level 3 status have reactors identified at the annual herd test, but these are no more than 3% of the animals tested. Health plan required.

Level 4:

Herds with level 3 status have reactors identified at the annual herd test, and these amount to more than 3% of the animals tested. Health plan required.

Level 5:
