Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The perfect tender rule only applies when both parties are able to perform their obligations under the contract. In this case, Calf & Cow is unable to deliver the cattle due to the quarantine, which means they are not able to perform their obligations. Therefore, the perfect tender rule no longer applies to either party.
