Breeding Guarantee
–
All bulls are guaranteed in
accordance with terms and conditions recommended by the Red
Angus Association of America. This guarantee does not cover mortality
and we encourage buyers to consider buying an insurance policy. All
bulls covered by our guarantee will require that we retain salvage value
for the bull. Any bull kept for 30 days immediately following the sale will
incur a $1,000 “breeding use” fee to be applied to any settlement reached
with the buyer. Any bulls returned to Red Alliance for non-performance will
require a vet statement.
This guarantee does not cover injuries
.
We
urge all buyers to carefully introduce new cattle into your existing herds
with an abundance of caution. Most injuries to bulls are the result of
fighting with other bulls with injuries to legs or testicles. Injuries can occur
with females as well. All bulls returned for a guarantee claim must be
returned to a member’s ranch within 14 days of submitting a claim. Our
guarantee will provide for a replacement bull of equal quality and value or
a full purchase credit to be used in future Red Alliance auctions.
