Doguet ’s Diamond D Ranch
Bidding
Each animal will be sold to the highest bidder without reserve.The auctioneer will settle any disputes as to bids,
and his decision on such matters shall be final.
Terms
The terms of the sale are cash, check or money order at the conclusion of the sale. Each animal becomes the risk
of the purchaser as soon as sold, but it shall be the obligation of the seller to see that animals are fed and cared
for until loaded for shipment or until the expiration of 48 hours after the sale, whichever occurs sooner. After
48 hours a maintenance fee of $3.00 per day will be assessed until pickup unless Doguet Diamond D or AMS
arranges shipment.
Sight Unseen Purchases
Buyers may purchase females or bulls through the owners or American Marketing Service personnel at auction
without viewing the cattle. For sight unseen purchases, the buyer has the right of inspection at the time of
delivery. If the animal is deemed unsatisfactory, it may be reloaded on the delivery truck and returned to female
or bull owners ranch at no obligation to the buyer. All transportation expenses will be the responsibility of the
seller. If the animal is deemed unsatisfactory within one week of the purchase, the buyer may at their expense,
return the animal to the female owner’s ranch for a full refund of the purchase price.
Certificate of Registry
A transferred certificate of registry will be furnished to the purchaser for each registered animal once proper
settlement has been made.
Health
Health papers suitable for interstate shipment will be furnished on all animals.
Genetic Conditions
We have tested our entire herd bull battery and all our donor cows.To the best of our knowledge all DDD
animals sold are free of any genetic conditions. All animals tested are so noted in the catalog. All animals not
noted as tested, have not been tested and sell as is with no further guarantees.
Announcements
Any changes from the information of any kind in this catalog will be provided in a sale day supplement sheet or
announced from the auction block and such information shall take precedence over cataloged information.
Breeding Guarantee
1. All animals are guaranteed to be breeders with the exception of: a) calves under 12 months of age; b)
animals shown by purchaser after sale in which the guarantee (if any) shall be between the seller and the
buyer; c) injury or disease occurring after the sale; d) gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of
the purchaser; e) death by any reason.
2. Safe in calf females have been examined by competent personnel and are so guaranteed.
3. Exposed females have been exposed but are not guaranteed to be safe in calf.
4. Open females have not been served and are so guaranteed.
5. Donor Females. a) A female is not guaranteed to be a breeder after the date of the sale when that female
is to be used or attempted to be used, in an embryo transfer program, unless by separate agreement
between the buyer and seller. b) Embryo transfer guarantee. Even though it is possible some of the female
lots have worked successfully in our embryo transfer program in the past, and should in the future, there
is no guarantee or warranty on future embryo production of any lot. Flush records are available upon
request.
6. Any bull which settles cows by natural service and passes a fertility test made by competent veterinarians,
mutually agreed upon by the buyer and seller, during any six month period of trial (provided for in para-
graph 2 of the section of these sales terms and conditions entitled“Options and Privileges of Return or
Adjustment”) shall be considered a breeder. All partial interest bulls are guaranteed to produce freezable
quality semen.
7. This is not a life insurance policy. Seller will not replace a dead animal if it is killed or dies for any reason.
We would suggest that normal care still needs to be exercised toward these animals and that yearling
bulls should be fed so they can continue to develop properly.
Pregnancy Determination
The registered females in this sale noted safe in calf have been determined pregnant by physical palpation or
ultrasound technology. Our best estimate of service sire will be given in the case of the females with both an A.I.
sire and a natural breeding sire.
Options and Privileges of Return or Adjustment
1. All claims for adjustment or refund must be made in writing within six months of the sale date.
2. In the event an animal is claimed to be a non-breeder, the animal may be returned to owner’s ranch, if
in good condition and complying with the health requirements of their state.The seller shall be entitled
to a six month trial following the return of the animal in which to prove that the animal is a breeder. If at
the end of six months the seller is unable to prove the animal is a breeder, the seller shall at the option of
the buyer replace the animal with another of equal value or issue a credit for the initial selling price. If the
seller proves the animal to be a breeder, it shall be the obligation of the purchaser to take delivery of the
animal and pay all expenses incurred for transportation.
3. If an animal is sold and at a later date proves not to be eligible for registration under association rules, the
seller shall be obligated to make a satisfactory adjustment on the purchase price to the buyer, refund the
purchase price or issue a credit for the initial selling price upon the return of the animal to the farm of the
seller.
4. If an animal is sold and through DNA is proven to have incorrect parentage as represented by the certifi-
cate of registration, and for which the parentage can be determined, the seller shall be obligated to make
a satisfactory adjustment on the purchase price to the buyer, refund the purchase price or issue a credit for
the initial selling price upon the return of the animal to the farm of the seller.
Rights and Obligations
1. The above terms and conditions of sale shall constitute a contract between the buyer and seller of each
animal and shall be equally binding on both. Other than the guarantees and warranties stated above, no
other warranties or guarantees are expressed or implied. Each sale or resale of an animal constitutes a
separate transaction.
