Our Guarantee
Any Te Mania Angus bull that proves to be structurally unsound, infertile or incapable of service is guaranteed for up to three years from date of sale.
Under these circumstances Te Mania Angus will:
1) Replace the bull with a satisfactory substitute if available, or
2) Issue a refund equal to the value remaining *see below, less the salvage value.
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 Angus. 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 the sale bulls are vaccinated for Vibriosis and Pestivirus (BVDV) prior to sale. We recommend that any bull that is purchased receives an annual booster for both these diseases.
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. See also Bull Management.
Arthrogryposis Multiplex (AM) and Neuropathic Hydrocephalus (NH)
The sale bulls have been tested for AM and NH prior to sale. All non carriers are either NHF or AMF (tested free) or NHFU or AMFU (pedigree free, no need to test). There are some carriers in the sale line up, and these are depicted as NHC or AMC. If you purchase a bull that is a carrier, we suggest that they are used over animals with very low probability of being a carrier - non Future Direction descendants, for cross breeding, or as terminal sires. Te Mania Angus has tested all females that could be carriers, and the recessive gene is being eliminated from the herd. More Information.
Some of the bulls we offered in the 2010 Autumn Bull Sale are carriers, but we felt that they were such outstanding animals it was better to include them so their benefits were not lost to the industry. The following lots are carriers:
Carrier lots are: 7, 11, 21, 23, 30, 32, 44, 60, 74, 75, 141, 142, 143, 145, 147, 149, 151, 156, 159, 162, 165. In total there are 21.
