Have you still got the catalogue from the sale? Usually there is a page there with terms and conditions and about what happens in a case like this. There is a time limit, it might be 6 months.

Might be worthwhile sending a solicitor's letter if you don't get talking to him.

it sounds a bit long since the sale. When did you first contact the vendor.
Have you had a sample tested to confirm?
Most pedigree guys will do the right thing but it sounds like you need to build your case as quite a bit of time has passed.

Had a similar problem with a bull from a Charolais sale, the bull was a dud but in fairness the breeder couldn't do enough for me. He gave me another bull for a couple of months to get my cows in calf, took the dud bull back and gave me a replacement bull this spring.

did solicitor say what their fees are? also just to warn you i am 3 years into a court case,,so it is not the quickest way to solve the problem, but if needs must
