After having posted about female production sales and mentioning Peterson Angus not transferring ownership of cattle that was sold in March, I spoke with a few on this board privately whom said they've been unable to reach Peterson also. I only brought that up because that operation is whom I'd have preferred to do business with. They are the PA Safeguards, Fortifieds, Valors, Power Tools... for those not familiar with anything but a prefix. I really do hope that there is nothing more than a piss poor communication going on.
I called Angus Association today and they told me that there are a number of steps to get this moving in the right direction and I wanted to share that with you here. If you've been unable to get your registered angus transferred from seller to you, you can provide the association a written statement about the events.
They need it to outline the registration #s of animals purchased, a cancelled check, and/or a sales receipt. In your statement, you should detail the date of sale, how many head, # of animals purchased, the contact info to which you've attempted/made contact with seller.
They'll then attempt to remedy with the seller and if that cannot be done, a certified letter will be sent. Somewhere in that process, they'll also come look for tattoo/brand to verify your possession of said animals.
If that isn't answered to, there are "legalities" to force the seller to transfer ownership that she says, is extremely aggressive and not in sellers best interest.
I would not under most circumstances be so uptight about this but being unable to find that operation on the internet any longer or make any contact with them (return a call or text) makes me extremely nervous.
I.E. with the flooding and hardship here, I didn't sweat transfer of ownership by those who were also affected. I knew the H E double L that they were going thru.
Just wanted to pass on what I learned so that maybe it could help others.
