2016 CSBBA Annual Performance Bull Sale
Terms & Conditions
BIDDING
Each animal will be sold to the highest bidder without reserve. The auctioneer will settle any
disputes as to bids, and his decision on such matters shall be final.
TERMS
The terms of the sale are cash, check or money order at the conclusion of the sale. Each animal
becomes the risk of the purchaser as soon as sold, but it shall be the obligation of the seller to
see that animals are fed and cared for until loaded for shipment or until the expiration of 48
hours after the sale, whichever occurs sooner. After 48 hours a maintenance fee of $4.00 per day
will be assessed until pickup unless CSBBA arranges shipment.
SIGHT UNSEEN PURCHASES
Buyers may purchase bulls through CSBBA personnel at auction without viewing the cattle. For
sight unseen purchases, the buyer has the right of inspection at the time of delivery. If the ani-
mal is deemed unsatisfactory, it may be reloaded on the delivery truck and returned to the bull
owner’s ranch. All transportation expenses will be the responsibility of the buyer. If the animal is
deemed unsatisfactory within one week of the purchase, the buyer may at their expense, return
the animal to the owner’s ranch for a full refund of the purchase price.
CERTIFICATE OF REGISTRY
A transferred certificate of registry will be furnished to the purchaser for each registered animal
once proper settlement has been made.
HEALTH
Health papers suitable for interstate shipment will be furnished on all animals.
ANNOUNCEMENTS
Any changes from the information of any kind in this catalog will be provided in a sale day sup-
plement sheet or announced from the auction block and such information shall take precedence
over cataloged information.
BREEDING GUARANTEE
1. All animals are guaranteed to be breeders with the exception of: a) calves under 12 months
of age; b) animals shown by purchaser after sale in which the guarantee (if any) shall be be-
tween the seller and the buyer; c) injury or disease occurring after the sale; d) gross negligence
or willful misconduct on the part of the purchaser; e) death by any reason.
2. Any bull which settles cows by natural serice and passes a fertilty test made by competent
veterinarians, mutually agreed upon by the buyer and seller, during any six month period of trial
(provided for in paragraph 2 of the section of these sales terms and conditions entitled“Options
and Privileges of Return or Adjustment”) shall be considered a breeder. All partial interest bulls
are guaranteed to produce freezable quality semen.
3. This is not a life insurance policy. Seller will not replace a dead animal if it is killed or dies for
any reason. We would suggest that normal care still needs to be exercised toward these animals
and that yearling bulls should be fed so they can continue to develop properly
OPTIONS AND PRIVILEGES OF RETURN OR ADJUSTMENT
1. All claims for adjustment or refund must be made in writing within six months of the sale
date.
2. In the event an animal is claimed to be a non-breeder, the animal may be returned to owner’s
ranch, if in good condition and complying with the health requirements of their state. The seller
shall be entitled to a six month trial following the return of the animal in which to prove that
the animal is a breeder. If at the end of six months the seller is unable to prove the animal is
a breeder, the seller shall at the option of the buyer replace the animal with another of equal
value or issue a credit for the initial selling price. If the seller proves the animal to be a breeder,
it shall be the obligation of the purchaser to take delivery of the animal and pay all expenses
incurred for transportation.
3. If an animal is sold and at a later date proves not to be eligible for registration under asso-
ciation rules, the seller shall be obligated to make a satisfactory adjustment on the purchase
price to the buyer, refund the purchase price or issue a credit for the initial selling price upon the
return of the animal to the farm of the seller.
4. If an animal is sold and through DNA is proven to have incorrect parentage as represented by
the certificate of registration, and for which the parentage can be determined, the seller shall
be obligated to make a satisfactory adjustment on the purchase price to the buyer, refund the
purchase price or issue a credit for the initial selling price upon the return of the animal to the
farm of the seller.
RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS
1. The above terms and conditions of sale shall constitute a contract between the buyer and
seller of each animal and shall be equally binding on both. Other than the guarantees and
warranties stated above, no other warranties or guarantees are expressed or implied. Each sale
or resale of an animal constitutes a separate transaction.
2. Neither bull owners or CSBBA nor any other person connected with the management of the
sale, assumes any liability, legal or otherwise.
