[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1319756, member: 24816"] Had a very similar issue to that years ago. This was back before BSE was a standard practice, folks only did that when they thought they had a problem. I sold a yearling Charolais bull, a few months later, not sure exactly, got a call from a vet saying that the bull didn't pass a BSE. I knew and trusted the vet, so when talking to the buyer, I said that I had another bull that I had bought, that I would switch out with him. When I got the bull in question back, he was thin as a rail. The next year the same buyer, had the same issue with a bull he bought from another Charolais farm, and theirs was also returned in thin shape. Now a days I won't even think about selling or buying a bull without a BSE. On side note, there are some folks out there that will try to pull you for what ever they can. Had a buyer one time, want me to buy back the bull after about 3 months when his cows were bred. As far as your customer saying someone down the road had had trouble with a bull from you, it could just be a ploy to try to get one at a cheaper price or trying to get you to accommodate him .
