Under these circumstances Te Mania Angus will: 1) Replace the bull with a satisfactory substitute if available, or The guarantee covers the purchase value of the bull, without interest, cost and damages. The guarantee shall apply providing the bull's incapacity is not caused by injury or disease contracted since leaving Te Mania, the value remaining is calculated on the basis that the guarantee is reduced by one third of the purchase price for each year of service from the sale date. A veterinary certificate must be supplied by the purchaser on request. If any bull that is purchased does not possess a reasonable fertility, although not totally infertile, any dispute that may arise shall be settled by an arbitrator appointed by the auctioneers and must be lodged within 12 calendar months from date of sale. We recommend that all purchasers discuss injury insurance of their bulls at the sale with Elders Ltd or their Agent. This guarantee is in addition to the normal terms and conditions governing auction sales. Health Treatments All of our bulls receive 7 in 1 vaccinations at three-months of age, six weeks later and a booster as a yearling. They are drenched at weaning and periodically according to worm counts. All Te Mania Angus bulls are examined by a veterinarian prior to sale day which includes palpation of the sexual anatomy and the circumference of the testicles. The jaw is checked for correct bite. Arthrogryposis Multiplex (AM) and Neuropathic Hydrocephalus (NH) Our sale bulls have been tested for AM and NH, prior to sale. All non carriers are either AMF or NHF (tested free) or AMFU or NHFU (pedigree free, no need to test). There are some carriers in the sale line up, these are depicted as AMC or NHC. The carrier bulls offer great genetic opportunities for breeding programs that have not used Future Direction bloodlines excessively and or for cross breeding programs. If you are unsure of the bloodlines of your previous Te Mania sires please email and we will research your herds profile for you and advise you of the likelihood of having carrier females. (We have all clients purchases on our data base) and can research HBR and APR bulls you may have purchased from other studs if you supply their identifications. It is worth noting that in recent months we have made valuable sales for some of our top proven females who are carriers. Stud breeders with foresight realise the genetic potential for these carrier females very desirable traits, make them worthwhile donor cows, even though they will have to continue DNA testing and some of the progeny will come up as carriers. Astute commercial breeders are using carrier females knowing that by using tested bulls in the future the current AMC and NHC genes will be eliminated over time.
