Bull Warranty Program Insurance for your bull!
Several years ago, Seedstock Plus instituted an insurance program for new bull purchases in an effort to protect our customers from a catastrophic loss if something should happen to a bull within the first breeding season. This program covers any and all possible things that a bull can do to himself in the first six months of ownership. The warran- ty costs 5% of the purchase price and should you have to use it, we try to either bring you a com - parable replacement or find a suitable loaner bull to get the cows bred if you are still in the midst of breeding season. If something happens to him towards the end of the season, we still cover that but often will either take the bull back and issue a credit towards your next purchase or have you ship the bull, keep the salvage funds and issue a credit for the balance. Any way you look at it - we get you back even! We’ve warrantied bulls that have been hit by lightening, hit by trains, drowned, broken various body parts or been injured in such a way that he won’t ever be sound to breed cows again. There are very few affordable commercial insurance policies that will cover a bull for loss of use. Farm policies will cover ‘acts of God’ (so do we!) but again, an injury is just your tough luck. The 5% of purchase price cost is a small price if something happens to your bull within that first 6 months! We appreciate the fact that you’ve put your trust in us to present you with a bull that has a good disposition, good feet and legs and will breed cows - we feel those things should be ‘on us’ and you don’t need insurance if you have a problem in one of these areas - you just need to let us know and we’ll take care of it. We try to catch every possible problem prior to the sale but things hap - pen and bulls are bulls.... But if your bull gets in- jured or dies, he needs to be insured! Take a good look at what the warranty can offer you and be sure to tell us at the settlement table that you want to insure your bull!
We are proud to announce that moving forward, all Seedstock Plus bulls will be developed by Burbank Bull Development LLC in St. Catharine, MO. Matt & Cammie Burbank, with the help of their kids, will handle the daily feed & care of all Seedstock Plus bulls, on-line females and growing bulls from weaning until graduating into the Seedstock Plus development test. We would like to thank the crew at RJM Farms in Holden, MO for many years of excellent work on be- half of the Seedstock Plus group developing the bulls for our program. The entire Anstine family, Tim & Janet Evert and others in the Holden area are friends, customers and have contributed to the past success of Seedstock Plus. We will continue to support those re - lationships in the Warrensburg, Holden and Kingsville area but admit that we are excited to bring the devel - opment of the Seedstock Plus bulls home. We would encourage anyone to come visit the new and improved facility that will accomodate all we do here at home and all the needs of the Seedstock Plus program. Although we did not install the GrowSafe system (due to cost & labor issues), we have made some significant improvements to the bull develop- ment process such as large pasture turn-out paddocks for the bulls. Our family is committed to the future success of the Seedstock Plus program.
