[QUOTE="Jessica06, post: 1070165, member: 5612"] I don't remember what sale it was, but they defined a satisfactory breeder as producing 1 or more calves. Which seems pretty fair to me. Even if the bull had low libido, I think that's just the chance that you take when you buy any young bull..some of them just aren't going to work out, through no fault of the breeders'. As far as what the breeder should do above and beyond basic obligations, I think that's just something that everyone will handle a little differently depending on what they feel morally obligated, and able, to do. We bought a bull several years ago. He had one calf but went bad probably soon after he settled the cow. I contacted the breeder, just to let them know for their own info. They ended up taking the bull back and letting us pick another, without us even asking. We still have the bull we replaced him with and he'll probably be here a while longer. I guess that made an impression on us, because we ended up doing a LOT more business with them. [/QUOTE]
