GENERAL SALE INFORMATION
Terms and Conditions:
This sale is conducted under the
standard terms and conditions adopted by the American
Simmental Association. If you have any questions, please contact
us. In no instance shall the seller be responsible for more than the
purchase price of the bull.
Registration Papers:
Registration papers will be provided upon
request to those who want them. Please let them know in the sale
office.
Feeding Arrangements:
If you are unable to take your bulls
home on sale day, we will feed them until April 20th, at the cost of
$1.50 per head per day. We are not responsible for accidents on
the bulls brought back to the ranch; therefore we encourage you
to insure your purchases before they are sent back home with us.
The bulls that we take home to feed will be put in with our bulls
and cared for in the same manner we care for our own.
Trucking:
$50 discount for those that haul their bull(s) home on
sale day. If the purchaser requests after the sale, we will assist
in making delivery arrangements. We will deliver bulls to central
locations within a 200 mile radius of Mandan.
Health:
All animals have been vaccinated three times with Vision
7/Covexin 8, Virashield 6 +/- Express 5 + Haemophilus somnus,
Pulmoguard-PMH, Mycoplasma and Clostridium Type A. They were
treated for internal and external parasites with an avermectin and
Safeguard. The entire herd has been enrolled in the ND Voluntary
Johne’s Certification Program and whole herd tested multiple
times with no Johne’s disease detected in the herd. We continue
to test new additions and do annual random testing within the
herd.
Scrotal Circumference:
Scrotal circumference and ultra sound
data information will be available sale day or on our website
(kbhrsimmental.com) prior to the sale.
Breeding Soundness Examinations:
If bulls are sent back to
the ranch with us, they will be tested at the ranch prior to delivery.
If taken home on sale day, we encourage you to have your bulls
tested prior to turn out for breeding.
Feeding Program:
These cattle have had no creep feed.
They were weaned onto a high roughage diet. The starting diet
consisted of chopped hay and corn silage. Then we slowly added
rolled corn and distillers grain to their ration. They have been
on a TMR ration which includes Hubbard’s Grain Rite consisting
of chelated minerals and vitamins. Hubbard tests all of our feed
samples and make balanced ration recommendations. We slowly
step them up on a bull development ration.
Announcements:
Announcements made sale day, and from
the auction block during the sale, take precedence over printed
material in the catalog or other printed material associated with
the sale.
