Breeding Guarantee
Bulls selling are guaranteed through the first breeding

If a fertility problem occurs preventing the bull

of similar value will be provided if available. If a
suitable replacement is not available, credit for the full
purchased price, less salvage value, will be issued to
the buyer for next year’s sale. Please notify us as soon
as possible should an injury occur and prior to the
injured bull being sold for salvage. All claims must be
made by September 15, 2025. This does not cover poor
management or neglect.

Terms of the sale are cash unless prior credit
arrangements are established between buyer and seller.

Liability
Each animal will be at the buyer’s risk as soon as it is
sold but will be cared for by the seller for a reasonable
period of time. Every precaution will be taken for the
welfare of the cattle sold. Neither the owner nor the
sales management can be held responsible for accidents,
but every effort will be made to provide for the safety
and comfort of those attending the sale.
