Sale Terms and Conditions
Genetic Conditions… The knowledge and testing technology for all types of genetic conditions is almost changing daily. What we knew to be policy yesterday may be obsolete today. Our policy at Gibbs Farms is to fully follow and abide by any and all testing and reporting policy pertaining to genetic conditions as recommended by the American Simmental Association. We further state that our personal policy is to not market any animals known to be carriers or suspected of being carriers of any genetic conditions classified by the ASA as lethal and/ or high occurrence. On any animals known to be carriers of other non- lethal genetic conditions that the ASA recommends testing, we will test and provide results on any animals marketed. For full disclosure and explanation of all genetic conditions monitored by the ASA, please refer to the TraitTrac shown on their individual pedigree on the ASA website. We understand the investment you make in your bulls can be significant; we will make every effort to take care of you if something goes awry. All bulls purchased sight unseen or online carry a 100% satisfaction guarantee.
Herd Health… Every sale animal and the entire Gibbs Farms breeding herd is properly vaccinated and boostered annually for 7-Way Clostridium, IBR-BVD-BRSV-PI3, Hamophilus Somnus, Pasturella, Leptospirosis, and Vibriosis. All heifers are calfhood vaccinated for Brucellosis and every calf born on the farm each year is tested for BVD-PI. All sale animals have been tested negative for Johne’s Disease and the cow herd is being tested annually. All animals on the farm are treated at least twice annually with a parasitic pour-on and at least once annually with Safe-Guard drench. All bulls have successfully passed a complete breeding soundness exam. Guarantee on the Open Heifers... Every open heifer is guaranteed open at the time of the sale and is guaranteed to be a breeder as long as the female has been exposed to proper nutrition and management. In the event of a non-breeder, please contact us, and sale credit will be issued minus salvage value. Guarantee on the Bred Females... Every bred female is guaranteed to be bred at the time as stated in the catalog, unless updated by the auctioneer. In the case of an open female, please contact Gibbs Farms immediately. Guarantee on the Sale Bulls… Every bull has successfully passed a breeding soundness exam prior to the sale and is guaranteed breeders. Our warranty for the bulls includes semen and feet issues (not stemming from injury or management). All other injuries such as broke penis, acts of God, and situations related to management that are beyond our control, will not be covered. A veterinary inspection/ report is required for warranty claims.
NO ONE CAN GUARANTEE EVERY ANIMAL WILL PERFORM PERFECTLY, BUT AT GIBBS FARMS WE GUARANTEE WE WILL MAKE THINGS RIGHT IF THEY DO NOT!
