SALE PROCEDURE & SALE ORDER
RETAINED SEMEN INTEREST
Bulls will be available for viewing and bidding starting Friday, October 17, 2025. 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, October 27, 2025. 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. PERFORMANCE DATA & GENOMIC TESTING 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. FREE DELIVERY All bulls qualify for free delivery within a 100-mile radius. All multiple bull purchases or individual bull purchases over $5,000 qualify for free delivery within a 200-mile radius. Purchases of $15,000 or more qualify for free delivery within a 300-mile radius. 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 November 30, 2025 free of charge. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us before the sale
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
Each bull sells with a breeding soundness evaluation (BSE) performed by a veterinarian. They are guaranteed for their first full breeding season, defined as the 90-day period following the first turnout of the bull. If a bull develops a breeding injury that will not heal, a credit (minus any salvage value) will be issued. In addition to breeding guarantees, we also offer an injury guarantee on bulls selling for $5,000 and above. Multi-sire breeding groups will only be covered if all bulls in the group are purchased from Oak Hollow and of the same age. If a bull should have a physical injury in the first breeding season that will not heal, the buyer will receive a credit of 50% of the purchase price minus any salvage value. Credit will be made toward a future purchase or a replacement bull if one is available. A veterinarian must diagnose all infertile or injured 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 March 1, 2026. These are young bulls that are still developing and proper care and adequate nutrition is the responsibility of the buyer. This is not a life insurance policy. A bull will not be replaced due to death for any reason. Replacement bulls are not covered by this guarantee. 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.

HERD HEALTH
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.
