Flying H Genetics has offered to share death and injury losses suffered during the first breading season with customers for years. After some confusion over the old warranty and interest by many customers to cover the full cost of their purchases at a reasonable cost we have initiated the following new warranty.
Coverage/LimitationsThe coverage of this warranty is limited to the first breeding season or a maximum of 6 months from the date of purchase, unless other arrangements are made ahead of time. Indemnity under this warranty covers all death and loss-of-use injuries except those caused by negligence or willful misconduct or mistreatment of the bulls covered. Replacement value will be limited to actual purchase cost of the Flying H Genetics bull covered minus any salvage value or other compensation received by the customer.
ClaimsAll claims for death or injury must be reported to Flying H Genetics within 24 hours of discovery and a complete diagnosis by a licensed veterinarian must be reported.
InjuredIf the injury is not life threatening or permanent and the bull can be returned to service Flying H Genetics will work with the customer to supply a replacement bull to use at no cost, until the original bull can be returned to service.
Loss due to injuryIf the injury is permanent and prevents the bull from returning to service, Flying H Genetics will supply a replacement bull as close to the original bulls type and quality as possible to complete the first breeding season. At the end of the breeding season the customer can keep the bull as the replacement bull as fulfillment of this warranty or return him to Flying H Genetics and receive credit on a replacement in next year’s sale. The credit will equal the price of the original bull minus salvage value if any from the original bull. The customer agrees to provide humane care and obtain maximum salvage value from the injured bull. This guarantees the customer a bull to get their cows bred and full compensation for the purchase price of the bull through a replacement they get to pick and price.
Loss due to deathWhen a Flying H Genetics bull dies between the date of purchase and the end of the first breeding season, through no fault of the customer as described above, Flying H Genetics will supply a replacement bull, as close to the original bull’s type and quality as possible, to finish out the breeding season. At the end of the breeding season, the customer can either keep the replacement bull as fulfillment of this warranty or return him to Flying H Genetics and receive credit on a replacement in next year’s sale. This credit will equal the purchase price of the original bull minus any compensation received if insured by an insurance company. This guarantees the customer a bull to get their cows bred and full compensation for the purchase price of the bull through a replacement they get to pick and price.
CostCost for the death and injury warranty will be 5% of purchase price, due at the time of purchase. If a customer chooses not to cover their animal against death and injury, they assume all loss due to death or injury of their bull. This warranty does not affect other customer services like the customer satisfaction and calving ease guarantees that all Flying H Genetics bulls carry.
