[QUOTE="Davy_g, post: 9151222, member: 3544"] Shame they were not in-calf as bought. Without legal recourse I suspect there is not much you can do. As a matter of courtesy I would go back to the vendor to see if they have any records of service date and scan date. They should have both and you should also have them when you bought the cows? As soon as something was amiss - there is probably some responsibility on you to notify the vendor - such as observing a cow in heat, scanning but having the incorrect calving date or a cow going over her time. That said the vendor will have a reputation to keep and may be able to help smooth things over. Such as a discount, offer of semen or something similar. What are you thinking? If I sell cows as in calf. I pass on service details, scan details and expected calving date. I tell the buyer to scan the cow within a week of delivery for any comeback as my scanning information is only good on the day the vet told me. If the cow was not in calf at that stage, one offer would be a full refund if that's what the buyer wanted. I sold a fat cow a few years ago. Topped the market at about 2K. Next time i was in the mart a dealer approached me, told me he bought the cow and she died on him a few weeks later - had not got a post mortem done as his first loss was his best loss. I took his word for it and even though I had no reason to do so - I gave him half of the money back as a good will gesture. [/QUOTE]
