BREEDING GUARANTEE: Females – Females represented as being “safe in calf” will have been examined and declared safe; they are considered breeders without further guarantee. Cows with calves at side shall be considered breeders also without further guarantee. Females represented as bred or exposed are not guaranteed as “safe in calf,” but they and the open heifers selling as individual lots are guaranteed to be breeders. NO guarantee shall apply to suckling salves. NO guarantee is given that bred females will deliver a live calf. Any animal that appears to be a non-breeder within six months after date of sale, if in healthy condition and of breeding age, may be returned to seller at buyer’s expense. Seller will then reserve the right to prove the animal a breeder within a six-month period, using any purebred registered Maine-Anjou bull of his choice, A.I. or natural service, and if successful will return bred female to buyer, again at buyer’s expense. Should the animal fail to prove a breeder, the seller, at his option, may either return purchase price to buyer or replace the animal with another of equal value in full settlement and satisfaction of all claims. In no event shall seller be responsible for more than the purchase price. In case the animal in question should develop to be a problem breeder due to negligence or improper management by the purchaser, the seller’s guarantee does not apply. In cases where the animal is subjected to any hormonal or surgical reproduction techniques after this sale, this guarantee shall be null and void. Any complaints regarding breeding difficulties must be reported in writing by the buyer to seller within the time limit specified above, and animals returned must be free from disease and in good condition.

Her sire, Changemaker, was National Champion at the 2021 Cattlemen’s Congress, and her maternal grandsire, Red Dirt, has produced numerous National and Reserve National Champions. This heifer has the attitude for a beginner. With the IJBBA adding a Fullblood Division in 2024, take this opportunity to try a different route with a Fullblood Maine-Anjou.
