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.

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. 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.
