Issuu

Welcome!

It’s been 34 years since we started buying cattle in the tri-state region from Wade. It’s been a great relationship and I hope for it to continue for another 34 years..Kelly keeps taking on more of the management every year! To me it looks like we have 4 more years of excellent markets! That being said the weather gods need to cooperate. If not the markets will stay for a lot longer. A man who I have great respect for thinks this could be the new normal. The quality of beef you raise is without a doubt are some of the best in the U.S.A. You should be very proud of the cow herds you have put together. The bulls are outstanding and keep getting better. I hope they meet your needs. The genetics and numbers do met our exceptions. God willing 2026 will be another great year.

GUARANTEE

All bulls have been scrotal measured, and fertility tested prior to the sale and are guaranteed breeders at time of sale. The guarantee becomes void if the bull suffers from an injury or disease after leaving Seward’s possession or by the negligence or willful misconduct of the buyer. If a bull fails a subsequent semen test after purchase and prior to turnout, it is the buyer’s responsibility to contact Seward Cattle Co. or Wade Stephens immediately so that the situation can be remedied. Sewards then has the right to re-test the bull. If at that time, it is determined that the bull is unable to breed cows, the seller at their discretion, will issue credit for another sale, or replace the animal with another of equal value in full settlement and satisfaction. In no event shall the seller bear the responsibility of more than the purchase price.

MORTALITY AND LOSS OF USE COVERAGE

Seward Cattle Co. has insurance available for the first breeding season for all bulls sold on their May 7th sale. The coverage will provide traditional full Mortality coverage for death from all natural and accidental causes from the date of purchase through August 31st, 2026. Additionally, Loss of Use coverage is for if a bull is unable to naturally cover cows due to injury. Examples of such injuries include stifle, broken leg, or broken tool. All injuries must be diagnosed by a veterinarian and immediately reported to Seward Cattle Co. A claim shall occur if after fourteen continuous days following the date of diagnosis and first report, the bull cannot be returned to natural service. Loss of Use Claims will be settled at 80% of the purchase price until July 15th, 2026, and 60% of the purchase price from July 16th, 2026 through August 31st, 2026. Mortality and Loss of Use coverage is 5% of the purchase price due at settlement on sale day.

Salvage, if any belongs to Seward Cattle Co. Injured bulls shall be returned to Seward Cattle Co or Wade Stephens before settlement will be made. It is the full responsibility of the buyer to maintain the salvage value of the bull until returned to Sewards. Failure to do so results in negligence and voids this policy. Applicable settlement will be made after any salvage value has been determined. Settlement can be check or credit towards another Seward Cattle Co. sale.
