Retained semen Interests As always we reserve the right to collect semen on any bull sold in the sale (for in-herd use only).This would be done at the seller’s expense and the buyer’s convenience. Please refer to the following levels of retained interest. Level 1-Up to $19,999 we will retain 33% semen interest. Level 2-$20,000 and above we will retain 25% semen interest.
When semen is collected on a CDI bull with the intent to market: We would appreciate open dialogue concerning moving forward with marketing semen, promotion and cost sharing and reserve the right to opt out at our discretion. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to call.
Docility Scores (Doc): Please note the docility score for each animal.We use a scoring system from 1-6 with lower scores indicating calmer, gentler cattle: 1 – Docile; 2 – Restless; 3 – Nervous; 4 – Flighty; 5 – Aggressive; 6 – Very Aggressive. Most of the bulls will fall in the 1 or 2 category, with an occasional 3.Anything above a 3 is automatically culled from the bull pen. Please use this as a relative gauge for your operation. If you have a lot of help from your family or inexperienced workers while working with your cattle, we recommend buying 1 and 2 scoring cattle. 3’s are completely manageable but have at times shown to be more nervous.These scores are based on our daily interactions with the bull to date. Keep in mind, as an animal gets older, or with different handling, its attitude can change.
Volume Discounts: We will be offering the following discounts for volume bull buyers: 3 head – 3% off total purchases 4 head – 4% off total purchases 5 head or more – 5% off total purchases
