Happy to oblige.
No matter where I buy from I never accept an animal until the following is done - ESPECIALLY if it is a friend or neighour - prevents hard feelings in event of a deal gone bad.
Veterinarian comes to farm and does complete examine including semen count.
Vaccinations
and boosters are completed - but only if veterinarian says animal is good to go.
Booster usually means animal stays on home place for an additional two weeks unless it can be proved this has all been done within the past six months - and the protocol matches my needs.
Animal stays at original owners risk - I pay when I load.
If it fails the veterinarian exam the seller pays the vet. If it passes I pay the vet.
If this bull is going to breed your cattle it had better be worth the above - or it is a hamburger bull and anyone buying him gets what he deserves.
What I think we have here on this post is a "come and buy my bull - he is a good bull - cheap like borscht".
I would run from that deal as fast as my old legs could carry me. Too many things can go wrong and then it is a "he said and she said" argument - that could end up in court.
In my mind - with the information you have provided - this is a bad deal.
As for the warts?? or whatever - you will find out when the veterinarian sees them.
Here comes what could be considered an insult - it is not - you sound like someone who does not have a great deal of experience with cattle - watch your wallet CLOSELY!!
