Waiterenui bulls have an excellent reputation for reliability. They are bred to exhibit good health, functionality and performance off grass. All sale animals are independently and objectively evaluated for structure, temperament, semen and service ability.
Guarantees are by way of replacement (if available) or cash, on a sliding scale of depreciation depending on the length of service. Yearling bulls carry a twelve month guarantee. Two year old bulls are guaranteed until they are five years old, with neither guarantee applying to injury or neglect post sale.
This guarantee is in addition to the normal terms and conditions governing auction sales. All sale animals are blood tested negative for BVD and EBL, are vaccinated for BVD and are brucellosis free. The Waiterenui herd carries a C10 TB status.
