Live Foal Guarantee (LFG). It is agreed that a live foal result from this mating. Live foal means the foal shall stand and nurse on it's own. If the mare proves barren, aborts her foal, or if the foal is stillborn; Nagrom Farm will reship semen during the current year until July 1st and/or give a return service the following year. If the mare does not settle the second year, Nagrom Farm may require "on premises breeding for mare with standard breeding fees applying". This LFG will apply only if written certification is provided by a licensed veterinarian that the mare has aborted or produced a nonviable foal; and if the mare has been properly vaccinated for Rhinopneumonitis as indicated by the drug manufacturer (Booster at 5th, 7th, and 9th month of gestation). In addition, Nagrom Farm requires that the mare be checked for pregnancy by ultrasound examination at 14-16 days and again at 25-35 days to ensure LFG. |

The stallion has been DNA tested. The semen has been analyzed and tested and is free from infectious or contagious disease. The sperm count, motility/collection and packaging process meets or exceeds the industry standard.
