by a reputable veterinarian and a report is provided by the veterinarian doing the evaluation. If the vet determines the bull is no longer a fertile or mobile breeder, we will refund your money, or we will supply you with a bull to use for the upcoming breeding season, plus you will receive full credit at the next year’s sale. The bulls are 100% guaranteed for one breeding season, not to exceed 60 days from turnout, provided the bull is managed properly and is in acceptable nutritional health. All issues beyond our control, such as broken legs, infectious diseases, mismanagement, neglect, frozen scrotal conditions, or hoof rot will be handled on a case-by-case basis. We reserve the right to request the bull be returned to our ranch prior to credit being given. We have always prided ourselves with satisfied customers and will continue to offer the same great customer service. REGISTRATION PAPERS & INSURANCE Registration papers will be transferred on all bulls. A fee of $100 will be charged on heifers that we are asked to transfer. Please leave all information, plus your ASA number at settlement. Let us know within four weeks if you have a name preference for your bull. We encourage insurance on all bulls. You can call Virginia at 701-320- 0331 for more Information. See page 2. SEMEN RIGHTS We are selling full possession, full salvage, plus 2/3 semen revenue. This means any semen sold on any of the bulls, TNT Simmentals will receive 1/3 the selling price per unit. We also reserve the right to collect up to 100 units of semen on any of the bulls, for our own use. This semen will be collected at our expense and the buyer’s convenience. Please contact us if you have any questions. HOMOZYGOUS BLACK/HETEROZYGOUS BLACK A homozygous black bull will only sire black calves when used on black or non-di- luter red cows. You will get mostly gray calves when used on yellow cows or red cows that have the dilution gene. A heterozygous black bull will sire both black and red calves when used on non-diluter red cows. When used on yellow or red cows that have the dilution gene you will get roughly half red and the rest will be gray, with some blacks. All cattle are homozygous or heterozygous black verified, which is listed in each animal’s title. HOMOZYGOUS POLLED/HETEROZYGOUS POLLED A homozygous polled bull will be polled and requires both parents to be polled and both to pass on the polled gene to their offspring. All bulls selling are homozygous polled. TRAIT LEADER QUALIFICATIONS You will see the term trait leader used in our comments. This means that animals EPD must be in the top 10% with an accuracy of 60% or higher. HEALTH All the cattle were vaccinated with BoviShield Gold 5, One Shot, Ultrabac 7/ Somubac, and given Valcor dewormer and Clean-Up II pour on. Bulls will be given Fusogard at semen testing and prior to delivery. All heifers have received a magnet, two doses of Express FP 5-VL5 HB prior to breeding and in the fall were given Virashield 6+ VL5 HB, ScourBos 9, Valcor dewormer and Clean-Up II pour on.

SCROTAL CIRCUMFERENCE Each bull was measured to the nearest .5 centimeter and adjusted to 365 days using the ASA recommended daily adjustment of .0543 centimeters. Only bulls with a minimum of 30cm were selected. The ratings for 12 14-month bulls are 30cm and less = poor; 30-35cm = good; and 35cm and over = very good. GENOMIC ENHANCED EPDS AND PARENT VERIFICATION All cattle have been parent validated to their sire and most are to their dam as well, which qualifies every bull to be used as an AI sire. All cattle have genomics incor - porated into their EPD’s unless otherwise noted. A better explanation is on page 2. BOLT EPDs used were current as of 1/12/2026. We have formatted our EPD boxes to Include the percentile ranking for each trait If they rank within the top 50% of the breed. This will make it easier to evaluate each bull.
