Limousin Assurance Program

The Froghollow Limousin Stud is proud to be a

Limousin Assured Herd

As part of the program we sell only registered Limousin cattle which have been docility scored and therefore have EBVs for docility.  We also provide warranties for fertility and docility as follows:

Fertility Warranty

Females

Females over 12 months and sold as unjoined are warranted fertile to natural service within 12 months.  The purchaser is to have the right to a full refund of the purchase price of the female (excluding any costs and expenses of the purchaser) on submitting a veterinary report after the expiration of 12 months to the effect that the purchaser has been unable to get the female in calf to natural service.  The veterinarian must state that in his opinion there is no evidence that the female has suffered any injury or illness since being sold to the purchaser which could have affected her breeding ability.  The veterinarian must also state that in his opinion there is no evidence that the female has been subjected to embryo transfer procedures.  The veterinary report (together with a statutory declaration by the purchaser to the effect that the substance of the report is true and correct) must be forwarded to the vendor (with a copy to ALBS) within 14 days of the first anniversary of the sale date.

Bulls

All bulls sold as fertile and capable of natural service.  The purchaser is to have the right to a full refund of the purchase price of the bull (excluding any costs and expenses of the purchaser) within six months of the date of the sale subject to submitting a veterinarian's report stating that the bull is infertile or incapable of natural service.  The veterinarian must also state that in his opinion the bull has not suffered any injury or illness since being sold to the purchaser which could have affected his breeding ability.  The veterinary report (together with a statutory declaration by the purchaser to the effect that the substance of the report is believed by the purchaser to be true and correct) must be forwarded to the vendor (with a copy to ALBS) within 14 days of the date being six months after the sale date.

Docility Warranty

All animals are sold as having acceptable docility as defined as score 1, 2 or 3 in the official scoring system of the Australian Limousin Breeders’ Society.  The purchaser is to have the right to a full refund of the purchase price of the animal (excluding any costs and expenses of the purchaser) within 28 days of the date of the sale or a replacement animal of similar quality and price to be supplied by the vendor subject to submitting a veterinarian’s report stating that the animal is of unacceptable docility defined as score 4 or 5 in the official scoring system of the Australian Limousin Breeders’ Society.

The veterinarian must state that in his opinion the animal has not been mistreated in a way which would have affected its behaviour since being sold to the purchaser.  The veterinary report (together with a statutory declaration by the purchaser to the effect that the substance of the report is believed to be true and correct) must be forwarded to the vendor within 14 days of the date being 14 days after the sale date.
