All bulls are guaranteed for a period of three years for fertility and soundness.
Fertility
All bulls must pass a rigorous Serving Capacity test for fertility before they make the sale. This test identifies and removes the bulls that are unfit to be mated. Bulls with a medium (will serve up to 30 cows a cycle) to very high serving capacity, are available for sale.
Soundness
All bulls must also pass a rigorous test for structural soundness, testicle size and confirmation by Eastland Vet Services.
If for any reason a Turihaua bull, within the “Three Year Guarantee” period does not perform as a result of his own fertility or structural defect, excluding injury, we will refund the purchase price or part thereof over the 3 years of Guarantee.
Conditions of Guarantee
- Notify the breeder, so he can advise on Guarantee procedures.
- A vet certificate or letter of infertility or unsoundness must be sent to the breeder.
- Please notify the breeder prior to disposing of the bull unless for humane reasons
