CDP BRANGUS TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Non-Breeders If an animal is claimed to be a non-breeder and meets applicable health requirements, the buyer may receive a credit toward a future purchase or an animal of equal value, subject to buyer approval. Alternatively, the seller may require the animal to be returned at the buyer’s expense for a 180-day breeding trial. If confirmed a breeder during the trial, the claim is considered fully resolved. Transporta- tion costs are the responsibility of the buyer. Safe-in-Calf Adjustment If a female sold as safe-in-calf proves open, the seller shall provide a satisfactory adjustment, replacement, or credit. Claims must be made within 60 days of sale. Wrong Sire If a female sold as bred to a specific bull proves bred to another bull, the seller shall make a satisfactory adjustment. Claims must be submitted on or before the first anniversary of sale. Open Female Found Pregnant If a female sold as open proves pregnant, the buyer may return the animal prior to calving for a full credit or replacement. Transporta- tion costs are the responsibility of the seller. Parentage Verification If parentage is proven incorrect and correct parentage can be deter- mined, the seller shall make a satisfactory adjustment or credit upon return of the animal. Claims must be made within one year of sale. Animals with IBBA-verified parentage will be noted. Buyers assume responsibility for compliance with IBBA parentage rules for semen and embryo production. Calf Sex If a calf is not of the represented sex, the seller shall make a satisfac- tory adjustment or credit upon return of the animal. Claims must be made within one year of sale. Transportation for Claims Unless otherwise stated in a specific provision above, transportation costs associated with claims, adjustments, returns, or breeding trials are the responsibility of the buyer. RIGHTS & OBLIGATIONS These terms constitute a binding contract between buyer and seller. No warranties or guarantees, expressed or implied, exist beyond those stated herein. Each sale constitutes a separate transaction. Neither CDP BRANGUS, the host ranch, nor sale management as- sumes liability beyond the terms stated. ERRORS & OMISSIONS CDP BRANGUS believes all information to be accurate as provided by breeders and the IBBA but assumes no liability for errors. EPDs are subject to change with each genetic evaluation. Updated infor- mation available on sale day supersedes printed materials.
If replacement is required, CDP BRANGUS may provide an animal of equal value, subject to buyer approval, or issue a credit toward a future CDP BRANGUS purchase, subject to the Adjustments, Credits & Returns provisions below. This is a breeding guarantee and is not an insurance policy covering death loss, debilitating physical injury, or other morbidity or mor- tality. Buyers desiring additional coverage are encouraged to obtain livestock insurance. Females with Calves at Side Females selling with calves at side are presumed breeders with no further fertility guarantee. Safe-in-Calf Females Females represented as “safe-in-calf” have been examined by a licensed veterinarian or qualified reproductive technician using accepted methods, including ultrasound, rectal palpation, or blood testing.
Exposed Females Exposed females are not guaranteed to be with calf.
Open Females Females represented as “open” are guaranteed to be without calf at the time of sale. Donor Females Unless otherwise agreed in writing: • Females previously used in embryo transfer or IVF programs are not guaranteed breeders after the sale date. • Females used or attempted to be used in embryo transfer or IVF programs after the sale are not guaranteed breeders. • Virgin open heifers placed in IVF or conventional embryo transfer prior to confirmed pregnancy void all seller breeding and embryo production guarantees. Pregnant Recipients The seller guarantees that the recipient female is pregnant, the resulting calf is of the stated pedigree, and the resulting calf is of the represented sex if a sex was stated. SEMEN & EMBRYOS Unless otherwise agreed in writing, semen is sold “as is” with no guarantees regarding performance, fertility, or characteristics. Embryos are sold “as is” unless additional guarantees are specifically stated by the seller. ADJUSTMENTS, CREDITS & RETURNS Seller liability shall not exceed the original purchase price of the animal, excluding transportation expenses. Unless otherwise speci- fied below, all claims for adjustment or refund must be submitted in writing to CDP BRANGUS within 180 days of the sale date.
