Volume Discounts:
$50.00/bull discounts if 5 or more are purchased and $100/bull if 10 or
more are purchased.
Guarantee:
All cattle sell under the suggested terms and conditions of the American
Simmental Association (ASA). Sale cattle are free of all know testable
genetic defects, currently monitored by the ASA. In addition all bulls are
guaranteed to be fertile and those selling for $3500.00 and over have a
90 day first breeding season warranty by Bar CK. Should one of these
bulls become incapable of breeding cows, Bar CK will exchange the
bull with a suitable replacement or provide you with a credit equal to the
bull’s purchase price less his salvage value. This guarantee does not
apply bulls that die or are killed and is not transferable to another buyer.
Livestock Mortality insurance:
Mortality Insurance on your purchases can be obtained from Jim
Danekas and JDA through American Livestock Insurance Co. at time of
settlement.
Sale Females - Breeding/Calving Information:
Many of the females selling will have been bred and/or have calved prior
between the catalog press date and the sale date. Status updates for
the female offering will be made available through the BarCK website:
and through the DV Auction website:
tion.com.
Announcements
from the auction block shall take precedence over
this catalog and all other printed material.
Retained Semen Interest:
We are selling full possession, full salvage value and 50% revenue
sharing semen interest in every bull. The buyer has total control of how
bull is handled plus gets 100% of the salvage value. This simply gives
Bar CK the right to half of the semen sales revenue if at sometime in the
future semen sales becomes a possibility. If a buyer is not interested in
marketing the semen from a bull then Bar CK has the right to collect a
semen bank on the bull at our cost and the buyer’s convenience. This
semen bank would be 100% owned by Bar CK for our use or marketing.
Realistically speaking it is unlikely that large amounts of semen will
be sold from very many bulls. However, we have several top end bulls
whose true breeding value will only be known after progeny data has
been recorded and evaluated. Even bulls sold to commercial herds may
become popular at a later time, especially if carcass data is collected on
their calves. Contact us for different options on how data can be collect-
ed on sires relatively inexpensively. If you choose to collect semen from
one of these bulls as an “insurance policy” for your own use that semen
is 100% yours. We want to have a great partnership with you.
Feeding and Possession Options:
Bar CK Ranch will offer a $50 discount per lot for buyers picking up their
purchases on sale day. All bulls can be kept free of charge until March
1, 2014. Bulls can be fed at Bar CK Ranch until spring breeding turn out
for $4.00/day. We will take care of the bulls to the best of our ability, but
we recommend that you protect your investment with insurance.
