Sooooooo
We ordered some sexed semen from them in late January. We were informed it might not be available fair enough. We were asked to supply a substitute which we did. So last week we were informed that the original bull was not available and oh by the way neither is your substitute because we sold it to somebody else.

Suggestions on how I should approach the situation please.

Go for some Irish cogent grazing semen and when you've got it confirmed cancel all this year's LIC.

When you start serving? I Had a funny call last week asking when I needed it, said mid April so I could get it tested before service. He said may have trouble getting by then but would try his best.

I was trying to be polite. If they sold his semen to someone else, lazy farmer should tell them to fudge off and not call again.

 

[Barmyfarmer]

Tell them to shove it and you won't bother with them again

 

[FarmerEd]

Thats such a shame to hear, iv had nothing but great service over the years.
Out of intrest did you buy through an agent or directly via LIC?

 

[Sid]

2 months and then they tell you?

What a SOS.

Well done for posting.

 

[Cows 'n grass]

The trouble is that despite LIC sexed semen being very expensive, the whole spring stock sells out in January every year. If you tell them to fudge off they'll still sell the semen elsewhere.

Exactly we would be 20 yrs using their semen. It’s no accident we have the milk solids and percentages we do. I would be loathed not to use them in the future. It was bought via an agent. Though i personally received a confirmation text from them. And have subsequently seen the confirmation emails sent to my agent.

I wouldnt throw 20yrs of breeding away just over this if it happens again maybe id leave them.
