Bull warranty.. Or not.

[Purli R]

Any man that travels to a bull sale and buys 5 bulls on the day at what ever the price is his business, the sale of the 5 bulls on the day was a help to the mart and the society to the averages sold. If the bull is wrong he is no good to the purchaser who bought the bull to work cows and is bad form. In the pedigree world your stock is only as good as your word and if your not willing to stand over an animal sold it doesn’t be long spreading wide and far. But to say the buyer should suck it up and take the loss and put it down to experience, says a lot about the person.

You have obviously got your head screwed on properly,some on here should read this post & take note,as for sucking it up & putting it down to experience, what a load of BOLLOX.

They tell me its been a bad year for infertile bulls and barren herds

Tested him again back in July I think.
Failed again of course.
Contacted mart they contacted him.
Sent bull to kill after nfu contacted me to settle.
They have paid out so now a line under it.
Lesson learnt..

There’s no reason a vendor couldn’t voluntarily have a fertility test done prior to the sale, if it were to lead to better prices. I somehow doubt it would though, as folks would still clammer after the one with a rosette and a wobbly great arse.

Never seen evidence that the cost of fertility testing was returned by higher sales prices

My argument would be ‘you sold me a bull that you guaranteed and it’s not right so whether you like it or not mr breeder he’s coming back’.

I would be sat in his yard with the trailer on. Mr breeder ought to offer money back or a swap for another. None of this fannying about. Longer it goes on the harder it is to sort. Breeder is just stalling hoping @Estuarybeef goes away

but still there could be another side to this

Its a fair argument but personally I'd never suggest accepting one back on biosecurity grounds, better to be taken cull or something and have a financial sort out after rather than setting hoof back on the place

They could do what they wanted with it. I would be beyond caring if we had got to that point
