SC — SCROTAL CIRCUMFERENCE:
A measure of fertility. Testicle size indicated by scrotal
circumference measured in centimeters is a highly heritable
trait very much correlated to reproductive efficiency. A
valuable indicator of bull fertility and puberty, and highly
related to early puberty in heifers and cow fertility, in-
creased bull scrotal circumference should improve fertility
and inherent cow herd productivity.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS:
Terms of the sale are cash. Every animal

property as soon as sold. Bull calves returned to seller will be fed free
until April 1st. Feeding arrangements will be made on bull calves only.
We would appreciate that all bull calves we feed be insured. Neither the

Every animal in the sale is to the best of our knowledge,
free from any disease or defect. All bulls are guaranteed breeders. All
claims must be submitted in writing to seller within eight months of sale

from veterinarian. Seller must be contacted as soon as buyer is aware
of the problem and before the bull is disposed of. Seller shall have the
privilege of trying bull after his return before making any adjustments. In
case an adjustment is required, it will be made with a replacement animal
of equal value to the animal. We assume no liability, legal or otherwise,
to make any further compensation to the buyer. All Hereford bulls selling

Baumgartens. Breeding season is defined as the 90-day period following
the first turnout of the bulls. 100% of the value of the injured bull, minus
full salvage value, will be given as credit in a future sale or toward a re-
placement bull if one is available. Salvage value, if any, belongs solely to
the buyer. All injured bulls must be diagnosed by a veterinarian. Please
notify us as soon as possible should injury occur and prior to the injured
bull being sold for salvage. All claims must be made by September 15,
2017. Injury resulting in death or death of bull will not be the responsibility
of Seller. This is an insurable risk that the purchaser can obtain coverage
for through Joana Friesz, (701) 400-8744 or (701) 843-8744.
EMBRYO TRANSFER PROGRAM:
Just a short note here to advise you
about some information on our ET program. Please remember that the
calves that are ET calves are not raised on their natural mother, but in-
stead a recip cow. Some of these recip cows do not have that natural
ability to milk and feed a calf the way the original ET mama cow does.
Therefore, sometimes the performance of an ET calf is not as good as
her natural calf is, but the genetics are still there to produce that type of
performance.
INJURY OR DEATH PRIOR TO DELIVERY:
Injury resulting in death or death of the bull prior to delivery will not be the
responsibility of Baumgarten & Nord. This is an insurable risk with cover-
age offered at the time of sale at the following cost of coverage.
