Forster Farms Right to Collect . . .
Forster Farms
reserves the right to collect semen, at their expense, on any bull selling
for within herd use only. We are retaining 1/3 semen interest in every
bull selling.
How the bulls are fed . . .
This year the bulls were started
on a weaning ration then moved to Purina Impact Backgrounder that
does not require hay. We fed them grass hay free choice for several
weeks to move them up slower. The final weeks before the sale, after
yearling data they will be transitioned to a TMR of Ground hay, silage
and Wet Distillers grain.
Every bull sells with . . .
a first breeding season guarantee
against injury, not death for the first 60 days from turn out. We will prorate your
credit minus salvage value for credit only on your next purchase.
