Sales Service and Quality Assurance
Is an investment. This investment should contribute to the genetics and sale income of your herd for many years. If you are to get the most from your new bull, it pays to look after him well, especially in the first season of use.

Alpine Back Up Service
As our Quality Assurance program outlined below demonstrates, Alpine Angus have made every effort to ensure Alpine Sale Bulls leave Alpine as fully functional bulls fit and ready to go straight to work!
The sale of a bull we regard as the beginning of a relationship with our clients rather than the end of a deal. As our many long term clients will attest Alpine Angus have worked hard over 25 years to service our clients however we can – particularly when things go wrong! Depending on the situation and circumstances various solutions may apply including the loan of a bull; a suitable replacement bull or a full or part credit. Our promise is to work with our clients to find the best solution.
