In order to qualify for a fertility guarantee, the seller (consignor) MUST be notified from the buyer within 8 months of the date of sale. This will allow the seller (consignor) the opportunity to offer the buyer a credit for the subsequent Bet on Red Sale, if they so choose. If the females that meet this guarantee fail to breed, they may first be returned to the seller (consignor) in good condition and in compliance with their respective State Health Regulations. The seller (consignor) reserves the right to try and maintain a pregnancy in the said female for 6 months . If it proves to be a non-breeder after the seller (consignor) exercises their right to try and achieve pregnancy, either an animal of comparable rank will be substitute, or a sale credit will be given from that respective seller (consignor) to purchase an animal from the seller (consignor) directly, in the future. No credits will be issued from the Bet on Red Sale or the Western States Red Angus Association. They will be offered from the consignor specifically, to be used with only that consignor specifically. Those credits are to be used within one calendar year from when the credit is offered. No cash refunds will be dispersed.
