Read the facts and the question and then choose the best answer.
A, a farmer, sees a bull offered for sale by B at an auction. The bull is described as 'a breeding bull'. A bids for the bull and buys it for $5,000 which is a fair price. But after he has paid B and taken delivery of the bull, tests show that the bull is infertile. As a slaughter animal, the bull is only worth $500.
A claims that, having paid $5,000 for a bull that is only worth $500, he has suffered a direct loss of $4,500. Can he recover this amount as damages for breach of contract?
