About 'Preg-Checked' & 'Exposed'...

Seller's representation that cows and/or heifers offered for sale within a listing are "confirmed bred by a preg-check" is limited to certifying that the cows/heifers underwent, or will undergo prior to delivery, a preg-check conducted by an individual or entity that seller believes to be qualified and competent and that the preg-check indicated the cows/heifers were pregnant.
However, seller does not guarantee that the cows/heifers that leave seller's premises "confirmed bred by a preg-check" are or will remain pregnant for the full term and give birth to a calf.
Accordingly, buyers should assess the qualifications of the individual/entity that conducted or will conduct the preg-check. Additionally, buyers should anticipate a normal abortion rate which, according to Merck Animal Health, can be up to 5% on an annual rate.

Cows and/or heifers within a listing being sold as "Exposed" means the seller is certifying that the cows/heifers are or were exposed to a bull or bulls. Although seller may have reason to believe the cows/heifers are pregnant, they sell with no guarantee of being pregnant, and unless guaranteed otherwise, with no guarantee they will conceive.

Seller's estimate of the period of time in which the cows and/or heifers should give birth to a calf is based on the following:
- For cows and/or heifers that are "confirmed bred" by a preg-check, the calving period estimate is based on the results of the preg-check.
- For cows and/or heifers that are selling as "exposed" or will undergo a "preg-check" prior to delivery, the calving period estimate is based on the time period in which the cows and/or heifers were or will be exposed to a bull or bulls.
