Bison Purity Guarantee
All Ozark Bisons are genetically tested to be free of cattle introgression based on all mitochondrial and nuclear microsatellite allele testing currently available at time of sale.
Ozark Valley Bison Farm LLC warrants all bison sold to be free of all evidence of cattle introgression based on all mitochondrial and microsatellite nuclear tests commercially available at the time of sale. Specifically, animals are warranted to contain bison-type mitochondrial DNA and free of all 25 nuclear microsatellite alleles associated with cattle introgression. In addition, using a new under-development nuclear test looking at 10,000 suspected markers to create a cattle score, our bison all score less than a 1% likelihood of cattle introgression.
All purchases will be accompanied with the introgression test results from a Nationally recognized and accredited laboratory, both mitochondrial and nuclear, from sire and dam of the animal purchased or from the individual animal purchased if greater than 1 generation from tested parentage.
Purchasers may have their own testing performed, at their own expense, to verify the purity of any bison sold within 1 year of sale.
Any animal claimed to have evidence of cattle introgression based on mitochondrial DNA or nuclear satellite allele testing available at time of sale must present Ozark Valley Bison Farm LLC with laboratory results performed by an accredited National laboratory. The laboratory results must identify the animal by its 18-digit ID and the sample for DNA testing (hair, blood, or other tissue) submitted to the laboratory) must have been obtained by and submitted for testing by a licensed veterinarian. Ozark Valley Bison Farm reserves the right to have a follow-up test performed by a mutually agreeable laboratory and samples obtained through a mutually agreeable licensed veterinarian.
If any animal fails an introgression test and as a result is determined to be unsuitable for breeding purposes, the animal will be returned to Ozark Valley Bison Farm LLC or a mutually agreed upon location with ownership of the bison reverting to Ozark Valley Bison Farm LLC. A full refund of the purchase price will be issued to the buyer of record.
Ozark Valley Bison Farm LLC will not provide a replacement bison that has failed subsequent DNA tests within the specified time and has been determined to be unsatisfactory for breeding purposes. The warranty is for full monetary refund only.
This warranty is valid for 1-year from the date of purchase and completely void thereafter
