[QUOTE="Chris H, post: 307327, member: 1974"] I'm thinking you won't get a thing for loss of income due to delayed breeding. I don't think you showed due diligence to mitigate your damages by waiting to breed for fall calves. You may not be as fortunate as I, but if I found my tank empty I could get semen from the most popular bulls for the major breeds and club calves within 4 hours; you might miss a few cows on that breeding but you could have gotten most of them. And worse case scenario if you don't live close enough to get semen that quickly, you could have given a heat sync shot in 2 weeks and gotten all bred to the bull of your choice. The extra cost of processing the cattle for breeding in 2 weeks would probably have been recoverable, if their negligence was responsible for the tank failure. Have you had your tank tested? I find it hard to believe it was empty in that time except for 2 reasons, a bad tank or theft of nitrogen. If your tank was good then you should consider the possibility of theft of the nitrogen.
