Herbster Angus Farms Bull Guarantee:
We guarantee that all of the bulls selling in the 2013 Herb-
ster Angus Farms are fertile and sell with a positive semen
check on the day of the sale. If any bull is injured during the
first breeding season following the sale so as to make him
functionally infertile, we will provide you with a satisfactory
replacement (if available), or issue you a credit to be used
either privately or during the bull sale in 2014 that is equal to
the bull’s purchase price minus the salvage value received for
that bull. You must contact us before culling your infertile or
injured bull.
DELIVERY and You-Haul discount:
A discount of $100 per buyer will be given to any buyer that
hauls his or her bull home directly from the sale on March
23, 2013. (ex: one bull purchased = $100 discount. Two
bulls purchased = $100 discount. One bull and one cow
purchased = $100 discount.) We can also house your bull in
Falls City, NE for up to two weeks after the sale. Bulls left at
Herbster Angus Farms after two weeks will be subject to a $5
per day surcharge. (Females bought are not included in this
discount.)
Previous Customer Discount:
Previous Herbster Angus Farms customers will receive a 5%
discount on their bull purchase.
