COW POWER BUYERS GUARANTEE FOR CURLY CALF SYNDROME

  1. Each Cow Power consignor guarantees their consignments to test negative to a diagnostic test within 6 months of when the diagnostic test is commercially available.   ANY CLAIMS MUST BE MADE WITHIN 6 MONTHS OF THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST BEING AVAILABLE.
     
  2. Information on this syndrome is available on the American Angus Association website.  Copies are available from the sale manager.
     
  3. If an animal tests as a carrier, the buyer has the option for a full refund.  Buyer is responsible for trucking and management costs, plus the test costs of a negative diagnostic test.  Should the animal be tested as a carrier, the costs of the diagnostic test will be reimbursed by the seller plus the sale value of the animal if the buyer wishes.
     
  4. If a bred female tests negative, but the unborn calf she is carrying tests positive as a carrier after birth, settlement will be reached using the following formula:  75% of the sale price will be assigned to the pregnant female and 25% to the unborn calf.  A base price of $750 (estimated feeder price) will be assigned to the calf, and the buyer will be reimbursed the difference between the 25% of sale price and the $750 base price.  For example:   For a $5000 bred female, the unborn calf's value is $1250 (25%).  $1250-$750 base price= $500 refund for the calf. 
     
  5. The buyer and seller agree to fully and promptly comply with all rules of the American Angus Association relating to genetic defects.  This guarantee is in addition to those Angus breed sale terms and conditions.
     
  6. Seller offers a full refund on carrier animals or mutually agreed upon replacement animals.  The return of the purchase price in connection with a carrier animal will be deemed full satisfaction and settlement.
     
  7. Seller reserves the right to retest a carrier animal at another qualified lab approved by the American Angus Association that is accepted by the buyer.  Retests must be done within 45 days of notification of the first test.
     
  8. This guarantee is designed to protect both the buyer and the seller.
