TERMS
: Terms of the sale are check or cash. Every animal will
be sold to the highest bidder. The right of property shall not
pass until after complete settlement is made. All settlements
will be made with the clerks of the sale immediately following
the conclusion of the sale and before any cattle will be released
from the sale facility or ranch.

RETAINED INTEREST:
We are retaining a 1/2 interest in all bulls
in the catalog. We are selling the remaining interest, full posses-
sion, and full salvage value on these bulls. We also retain a
breeding interest for in-herd use only in all other bulls in the
catalog. We reserve the right to collect semen at the conven-
ience of the buyer.
SEMEN RIGHTS
: Buyers receive semen rights proportional to
the interest purchased. If you purchase a 1/2 interest then you
are entitled to 1/2 of the semen collections at cost provided that
you indicate you want semen prior to collection. We intend to
collect some of the bulls in the sale and sample them in our
herd. We will cooperate with the buyer in collection of the bull.
We prefer to collect most bulls after the first season of use and
we will contact the buyer when we intend to collect the bull at a
time convenient for the buyer.

: Each animal becomes the risk of the pur-
chaser as soon as sold. Animals will be fed, watered and cared
for at the purchaser’s risk until November 20, 2016. After that,
there will a per day feed cost added to the purchase price,
payable before possession occurs.

catalog relating to the animals offered for the sale will be an-

rected by announcements at sale time and such corrections will
take precedence over the printed matter in this catalog.

a breeder within six months after date of sale, if in healthy con-
dition, may be returned to seller at buyer’s expense. The seller

prove the animal is a breeder. The seller, at his option, may ei-
ther replace the animal with another of equal value or grant the
