I sold a bull to a guy in mid April. Bull was 16 months old at the time and passed fertility test with flying colors. They bought him to turn out with 15 cows that did not calve until May&June. Guy called monday to tell me that all cows came back open after they palpated them. Kicker is that they had an outbreak of anaplasmosis go through the herd end of July and lost 2 cows and several others that got very sick. They had bull tested this week and claim he came back neg for anaplasmosis and that he failed fert test as 50% of semen had kinked tails. Still waiting on them to fax me copies of paperwork for verification. My vet told me he would not warranty bull as there are just too many variables once he left my place, and that the bull was good when I sold him. At a cross roads, First time ive ever had any trouble with a bull ive sold, and I dont have anything on hand to exchange him with, just weaned bulls. Dont want to refund a bull if I shouldnt but I also dont want to get a bad rep for not standing behind cattle. So what would you do??
