ANNOUNCEMENTS

The sale is governed by Texas law. The terms and guarantees listed on this page shall constitute a contract between the buyer and the seller of each animal sold. Announcements from the auction box will take precedence over the printed matter in this catalog and all other announcements made online or otherwise.

Everyone who attends the sale does so at their own risk. England Cattle Co. and the sale manager assume no liability, legal or otherwise, for any accident that may occur.

BIDDING

Each animal on which there are two or more bids will be sold to the highest bidder. The auctioneer in charge will settle any bidding disputes and his decision on such matters will be final. Prospective buyers must register in person at the sale office or online with Premier Livestock Auctions to receive a buyer number and other important information.

PAYMENT AND TRANSFER

All sales are final and payment is due immediately following the sale, upon receipt. All purchases will be settled for in U.S. funds by cash, check, or bank wire due upon receipt and before the animal leaves England Cattle Co. Buyer’s account must be paid in full before the animal leaves ECC. Unpaid accounts are billed 14% interest, beginning 14 days after the sale. Upon receipt of payment, ECC will transfer registration papers to the buyer. If full payment is not received within 14 days, then upon written or electronic notice to buyer, ECC shall retain ownership of animal with full property rights, including the ability to sell the animal to another buyer.

HEALTH

Every animal in the sale is, to the best of our knowledge, free from disease and sound. Health papers will be furnished for cattle selling out of state. Out of state buyers should make themselves aware of the health requirements for their respective states.

BREEDER’S GUARANTEE

We are confident in our females and their ability to be longtime breeders. Open or exposed females are guaranteed to be a breeder. This, however, is not a lifetime insurance policy. This guarantee does not include injury, death, management, or feed or nutrition issues. Bred females will be considered breeders without further guarantee. Buyer has 30 days from the date of the sale to have an accredited veterinarian check pregnancy status of bred females. Breeding guarantee is voided if any of the following occur: injury, death, disease, natural disaster, gross negligence or misconduct, heifers not in suitable body condition to breed, or virgin heifers flushed or IVF’d prior to having a natural calf. Should a breeding concern arise, buyer is responsible to report the concern to England Cattle Co. as soon as possible. If an animal fails to breed, it may be returned to ECC in good condition. ECC reserves the right to try said animal for six months, and if it proves to be a breeder, return it at the buyer’s expense. If the animal proves to be a non-breeder, an animal of comparable rank or credit toward the purchase of another animal will be offered. No cash refunds will be given.
