AIR TRANSPORTATION:
Oklahoma City Will Rogers for
commercial transportation is 2 hours east of Putnam. If you are flying
privately: Clinton, Woodward or Elk City have runways.
HEALTH:
1) To insure that our cattle are healthy and to provide you with
healthy cattle, we have a strict vaccination, herd health and biosecurity
protocol. 2) All cattle have been VACCINATED to prevent Blackleg, IBR,
PI3, BVD, BRSV, Vibrio, Lepto and Pinkeye. 3) All bulls in this catalog
are CERTIFIED AS VIRGINS unless otherwised marked. All non-virgin
bulls have been trich tested. 4) INTERSTATE HEALTH PAPERS will be
provided for animals going to states that only require the specifications
listed above. Any additional testing (i.e. TB, Trich on Virgin bulls over 12
months of age etc.) will begin after the sale and those interstate health
papers will be ready after all testing is completed. If you plan to haul your
own cattle after the sale across the state line, please check with your state
veterinarian to make sure your state will receive cattle from us without
additional testing.
FERTILITY GUARANTEE:
All bulls and females are guaranteed
breeders as described in the “Terms & Conditions” at the back of this
catalog. All of the bulls have passed Fertility Test. None of us can afford a
bull not doing his job. Bulls can become temporarily infertile due to fever,
excessive heat, injury, diet (whole cottonseed or poor diet), etc. We have
experienced this with bulls we purchased with breeding soundness exams
and took for granted that they were still ready to breed cows. If is several
months until breeding season and we recommend that you fertility test all
your bulls 30 days prior to each breeding season every year. These bulls
have been fertility tested but it does not prevent a bull from becoming
temporarily infertile during the time before you use him. We tested all
bulls a few years back, finding only 1% of our bulls that did not pass
the breeding soundness exam. Over the past 42 years, we have had
less than 1% returned. If you find a bull infertile please contact us
immediately. After a second failed test, at least two weeks after the first,
we will replace the bull or give you credit, according to the “Terms &
Conditions” in the back of this catalog. Getting your cows pregnant is a
high priority for us.
DELIVERY of BULLS and FEMALES:
Please see the
detailed information on our Delivery Service, pages 12-13.
INSURANCE:
Insurance will be available for purchase on sale day
from Ag Risk Management.
FUTURE CARE:
We appreciate your investment in R.A. Brown Ranch
genetics and want to make some recommendations to help you protect your
investment. The stress of the sale, hauling, and relocating these animals can
weaken their immune system; therefore, keep them up close so you can check
them daily for a couple of weeks. We recommend vaccinating for Vibrio/Lepto
and fertility testing your bulls 30 days prior to the breeding season each year.
18 month old bulls can be used very effectively when turned out with one cow/
month of age (18 months - breed 18 females). Remember they are still growing
and losing their baby teeth so they may need some extra care after their first
breeding season.
BUYING OPTIONS:
Obviously we prefer for you to be with us on sale
day but, if you are unable to make it you have two options. 1. Webstream &
bid by DV Auction (see info at top of page 9). 2. SUS (Sight Unseen) is always
an option. We will be glad to find you the bulls you need, with your budget. To
utilize this option, like about 20 of our long-time customers, please call Donnell
Brown at our office (940-849-0611) before sale week so that we can discuss
your genetic needs. We have a SUS form on our website if you’d like to fill it
out and fax it in.
MORE INFORMATION:
We want you to have all of the info
you need to make the best decisions. To view more information, we have
included registration numbers on the registered animals so that you can look
them up on the web, or you can visit our website at
com to sort the animals and/or view their data in spreadsheet form. If you
want more information about these bulls and/or females than what is in this
catalog or on the web, please call and ask prior to Sale Day. In an effort to
simplify the process, we have included the information in this catalog that
we believe to be the most useful tools in describing genetic merit of each
animal for economically relevant traits. To contact Donnell or Kelli Brown,
you may call the ranch at 940-84-0611 or email us at info@rabrownranch.
