TERMS AND CONDITIONS
TERMS The terms of the sale are cash or check. Animals are to be paid for immediately following the sale and prior to load-out. Each animal will be sold to the highest bidder. We have made every effort to provide as complete and accurate infor- mation as possible. However, announcements from the auction stand will take precedence over information printed in the catalog. BIDDING Any disputes or challenges regarding bids shall be settled by the auctioneer, and his decision shall be final. Mail or telephone bids will be handled with strictest of confidence. VOLUME DISCOUNT For BULLS only, if a single buyer purchases 5 to 9 bulls they will receive a 5% discount on the check out price. A single buyer purchasing 10 bulls or more, will receive a 10% discount. SEMEN CHECK AND GUARANTEE Each bull is guaranteed to settle healthy, fertile females and has been semen tested. Should any bull be claimed a non-breeder, the recommendation of the American Gelbvieh Association will apply. However, this does not preclude us from making adjustments that are mutually beneficial to both parties. FIRST BREEDING SEASON GUARANTEE ~

If any bull purchased in the Cowman’s Kind Sale or privately from Post Rock is disabled during the first 90 days following the first turn out of a new bull, the following guarantee will apply. The end of the breeding season guarantee shall be September 1 and Post Rock needs to be notified by that date for the warranty to apply. This is not an insurance policy, if a bull develops a problem, proper treatment, and if necessary, vet care is advised. If you breed out of season, please notify us in advance and we will be happy to adjust to fit your needs. If your new bull is temporarily unable to complete the breeding season, if pos- sible Post Rock will provide you with a loaner bull without cost to you other than transportation of the bull from and back to Post Rock. If your bull becomes permanently disabled, Post Rock will allow full credit ($7,500 maximum) toward the purchase of one bull in the next Post Rock sale. Post Rock will receive the salvage value of the injured bull. Should the bull you purchased cost more than your credit, you pay the difference. If he costs less, no further credit is due to you. Credit or liability can never exceed the purchase price ($7,500 maximum). We strongly encourage buying insurance on bulls bought for more than $7,500. Loss of use and livestock mortality insurance will be available sale day at the clerks table. The above warranty is for bulls used in a single sire breeding pasture. If two or more bulls are used in a breeding pasture the warranty is reduced to 50% of the initial purchase cost.
SIGHT UNSEEN PURCHASES If you are unable to attend the sale, a bull can be purchased for you on order dur- ing the auction. Please call either Leland Clark, Kyle Cavalli or Will Johnson in advance of the sale and discuss with us the price range and the type of bull you are looking for, and we will recommend the bull or bulls that will fit your needs. If you don’t like the bull when he is delivered to your place, he’s not yours; and the money paid will be refunded. If the bull can be purchased for less than your maximum bid, you get the bull for the amount he left the ring at, just as if you were bidding for yourself. Each year, breeders take advantage of this free service. Call if you would like more information or a reference. For sight unseen satisfaction guarantees, you must purchase an animal that either Leland Clark, Kyle Cavalli or Will Johnson have previously recommended that fit your needs. TRICH TESTING Many states have new rules for Trich testing and none of the sale bulls have been tested. Should a Trich test be required Post Rock will pay the costs involved and complete the testing requirements soon following the sale.

TELE-AUCTION AVAILABLE Post Rock is located in a very poor cell phone reception area and we encourage you to utilize this service. If you will be unable to attend the sale, you can do your own bidding via a conference telephone hook up that will connect you to ringside for the sale. You will be able to listen to the sale in progress, talk directly to our ringside representative and bid. Buyers interested in the option should call the office prior to sale day at 785-792-6244. You will be given the phone number and pass code to join the tele-auction and assigned a bidder number with which to do your bidding. Your only cost will be your normal long distance charges, charged by your long distance carrier. This would work well if you have looked at the sale offering prior to sale day and for sight unseen purchases.
