SALE PROCEDURE & SALE ORDER
HERD HEALTH
Bulls will be available for viewing and bidding starting Friday, March 20, 2026. At this time, bulls are open for bidding at the starting bid listed in the sale book, and bids can be raised in $100 increments prior to sale day. The bidding process operates as a silent auction until 4:30 PM CDT Monday, March 30, 2026. The silent auction concludes with a live auction sale day. Sale order is established based on the number of bids on a bull as of 4:30pm CDT on sale day with the bulls with the most bids selling first. Any bulls without bids as of 4:30pm will sell in sale book order. Bulls are sold with the highest accuracy EPDs that can be provided on young sires. Genomic Enhanced EPDs (GE-EPDs) are generated on all bulls and backed by full performance information including carcass ultrasound. In addition to full GE-EPDs on the bull crop, our entire cow herd has also been genomic tested to ensure the most accurate genetic predictions possible. PERFORMANCE DATA & GENOMIC TESTING
Oak Hollow cattle undergo some of the most rigorous vaccination and disease testing protocols anywhere. The calf crop and cow herd are vaccinated and disease tested under the consultation of Dr. Roger Thomas of Thomas & England Veterinary Service. All relevant disease testing is conducted on the full calf crop each year, including PI-BVD. Every vaccine, blood test and biosecurity measure is taken to ensure that nothing leaving our herd brings a problem into yours. All bulls are sold with the necessary health papers going to states that accept cattle without additional testing. If your state requires additional testing, this can be done the week following the sale.
RETAINED SEMEN INTEREST
Oak Hollow will retain a one-half semen interest in every bull selling. Realistically, this would affect only a handful of bulls that sell. Oak Hollow reserves the right to collect semen at buyer’s convenience and Oak Hollow’s expense. If you sell your bull, Oak Hollow will still retain one-half semen interest. The buyer owns 100% possession and salvage value on the bull.
BREEDING GUARANTEE
All bulls have passed a Breeding Soundness Exam and are guaranteed breeders for a period of 90 days following the initial turnout with the buyer’s herd, as long as the bull has received proper care. For any bull failing to breed, we will provide a credit equal to the bull’s purchase price minus the salvage value received for the bull. A veterinarian must diagnose all infertile bulls. Please notify us as soon as possible should an issue occur and prior to the bull being sold for salvage. All claims must be made by September 1, 2026. This is not an injury policy, a sickness policy, or a life insurance policy. SIGHT UNSEEN AND ABSENTEE BUYING If you are unable to attend the sale or view the bulls prior to sale day, we have a variety of ways to get you the bull you need through absentee bidding and sight unseen deliveries. Please contact us prior to the sale, and we would be more than happy to help you find the bull that fits both your breeding program and budget. Video of bulls will be available on our website in the weeks leading up to the sale.

FREE DELIVERY All bulls qualify for free delivery within a 100-mile radius. All multiple bull purchases or individual bull purchases over $6,000 qualify for free delivery within a 200-mile radius. Purchases of $15,000 or more qualify for free delivery within a 300-mile radius. Contact us prior to the sale if you are outside 300 miles about possible delivery arrangements. We offer free delivery on purchases provided the buyer is able to make arrangements to receive bulls when delivery is made in your area. Due to time constraints and fuel costs, we must consolidate trips. If you can’t make arrangements to receive your bull, you will need to arrange to pick up the bull at the farm. Bulls that are picked up at the farm can be held until April 30, 2026 free of charge. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us before the sale
