I sold a heifer in a mart and was contacted by the mart four months later to say that the heifer turned up in calf and the buyer of the heifer was looking for compensation. I contacted the buyer of the heifer, who told me that she was seven months in calf. I told him that I would buy her back but he told me that he was restricted so could not sell me back the heifer and consequently wanted compensation for the feeding costs. What are my rights?This is a common occurrence in farming situations, equally where an animal is sold in calf but turns up not to be in calf. Each party’s respective rights depends ultimately on the facts of the case and who is able to prove what.
