The perfect tender rule states that the seller must deliver goods that conform to the contract in every detail, and any deviation from the contract terms constitutes a breach of contract. However, in this situation, the outbreak of disease in the feedlot is beyond the control of both parties and makes performance impracticable. Therefore, the perfect tender rule does not apply, and both parties are excused from their obligations under the contract.
