Fink Customer Marketing
For many years, we have helped customers market their
cattle and we take this job very serious. As time has pro-
gressed, we have also progressed in our methods, reach-
ing more potential buyers and contacts than ever before. In
1995, we developed calf sales; 1996, females Genetic
Credit, Alliance and feedlot partnerships. We have given
numerous speeches, and have had articles written about
our innovative approach to customer marketing.
Present
2010
Developed a system to ensure that when a customer
sells calves, bred stock, fats, we get that information
out to over 350 potential buyers. With our network we
make no guarantee to the sellers, but we sure do try
hard!
Work closely with local markets, Superior Video, and
other internet sales across the United States.

2016 Bull Buyer Information
Bulls will sell in sire group order.
Bull scan was done by Dr. Paul Ritter. Because the Angus
bulls are DNA tested they were not scanned. The Charolais
bulls were scanned on 8/30/16 and data processed
through approved CUP lab.
Sight Unseen Program
If you can’t make it to the sale, we will do our best to repre-
sent the bulls to you. Please call at least 5 days ahead of
the sale, if possible, to go over your needs. This gives us
time to determine the best possible bulls for your opera-
tion and get back with you to discuss them. You may leave
bids with us if desired, we will buy the bulls as cheap as we
can, or you may call any of the representatives. Our pro-
gram is built on trust and honesty.
All bulls have had full BSE (breeding soundness exam) by
Dr. Don Musil at Prairie Valley Vet Clinic, Blue Rapids, KS.

Guarantees
Announcing the first 3-year guarantee, that we know
of… Another Fink Industry First!
- All bulls have been evaluated for structural soundness,
fertility, and disposition.
- Starting fall 2010, the following policy has been in place.
1st Year Guarantee—Single Bull Pasture
Full coverage for 12 months from date of purchase:
- Broken penis in single-sire pasture
- Structural problems due to feet, swollen hocks
50% coverage purchase prices—Multi-sire groups of bulls
- Broken penis
- Stifle
- Broken legs
- Lightning
- Disposition
+Exception: Foot rot; nails in hooves; penile cuts due to wire,
corn stalk leaves, etc; illness; diseases; freeze damage; testi-
cle injury, etc.
+Any reproductive injuries must be examined by a veterinari-
an within 48 hours of injury. Quick treatment can cure many
problems. Injuries not checked and treated promptly will not
qualify for 50% coverage. A letter from your vet will be re-
quested.
+We do not guarantee bulls to freeze semen.
3-Year Guarantee
Any bull sold by Finks that proves to be structurally un-
sound, infertile, due to foot shape, swollen hocks or fail-
ure to pass a complete BSE exam is guaranteed for 36
months from date of sale.
That guarantee will apply providing the bull’s incapacity
is not caused by injury, disease, or founder since leaving
Finks. The value remaining is calculated on the basis
that the guarantee is reduced by one-third of the pur-
chase for each year of service.
A veterinarian certificate must be supplied by the pur-
chaser. Fink reserves the right to have bull semen test-
ed by two different veterinarian clinics, if requested.
It is important to understand that normal care must be taken
and good husbandry practices observed, as we cannot fully
replace a bull that is injured or dies for any reason. We rec-
ommend you insure animals against injury. This includes not
putting younger and older bulls together; and having too
many bulls in relation to too few cows.
Any guarantees will be covered by satisfactory bull replace-
ment, if available, or credit on future bull purchases for the
amount covered.
Testing bulls 35 to 40 days prior to turnout is recommend-
ed for all herds. Generally, bulls retested 30 days (+-) do
retest OK, but it can cause panic when tested a few days
or the day of turnout!
Remember, at Finks, you keep any salvage value!
Always have!
