EXPRESS RANCHES BREEDING GuARANTEE
We guarantee that all bulls sold by Express Ranches are fertile to the best of our knowledge
and have passed a Breeding Soundness Exam 30 to 45 days prior to the sale. Although all bulls
have passed a BSE, we know certain problems can arise after you receive your purchase. to
help ensure your investment, Express Ranches will guarantee all bulls selling against breeding
injury, and to be sound breeders for the first breeding season. Breeding season is defined as
the 90-day period following the first turnout of the bulls. We will provide you with a satisfactory
replacement, if available, or issue you a credit equal to the bull’s purchase price minus the
salvage value received for that bull. this is not a life insurance policy however. We will not
replace a dead animal if it is killed or dies for any reason.

All bulls are developed on a high roughage ration from weaning until sale time in large traps allowing them to get out and be bulls! We feed to obtain optimum performance while not sacrificing
longevity! While extreme weights are impressive, we feel keeping cattle sound and functional are equally important. We have spent countless hours developing a feeding program that not only
allows us to amplify the genetic potential, but keeps the cowman in mind that purchases him. All Bulls are on a 40-45% hay-based ration fed not over 3% of body weight. After all scan data is
retrieved, bulls are backed off of feed, and hardened up to first turn out condition. this allows us to eliminate the bulls that fail to respond when conditioning for the upcoming sale.
To sum it up, we try to get the bulls into the same shape we like to buy them in!
