Terms and Conditions: Cash on sale day. All cattle will sell under the recommended terms of the AGA. If you would like to be offered credit, please call Duane prior to sale day. We will be retaining 50% semen and certificate interest on every bull in the catalog unless it is noted different on sale day. Guarantee: The cattle are guaranteed to be fertile and reproductively sound. All bulls selling come with a first-year breeding-season guarantee against injury or infertility issues. “Breeding season” is defined by the time of turnout to 60 days later. All bulls will have passed a semen evaluation before being delivered. If any fertility problems happen during the first breeding season, a replacement bull will be available until the purchased bull’s long- term fertility can be determined. If a bull sustains a breeding injury during the first breeding season, a credit on a future bull purchase will be given. If a bull sustains an injury or fertility issue, we ask that it is evaluated and treated immediately by a veterinarian and a report is provided by the veterinarian doing the evaluation. If the vet determines the bull is no longer a fertile and mobile breeder, the following formula will be used to determine credit issued on a future purchase: purchase price – salvage value - $2,500 (if injury related) = credit. Volume Discount: If you purchase five or more bulls in one year, you will receive 5% off the price of each bull. Sight Unseen Purchases: If you can’t attend the sale and you want to buy call Dustin Rippe about your different purchasing options. We handle several customers bull purchases each year. If the bulls don’t meet your approval when we unload them, you don’t own them. Delivery & Trucking: Free delivery within 300 miles of Hubbell, NE. For all bulls further than 300 miles, we will make every effort to accommodate the buyer. Delivery will not exceed $300/bull to a central location. Any bull taken on sale day, we will deduct $100 from the bill. Transfers: Registration papers will be transferred upon request. Liability: Neither the sale host, sale facility, sale management, nor the auctioneer assumes any liability for any accidents that may occur. Genetic Information: All lots have had a HD 50K test, and the EPD’s listed reflect the 50k enhancement. The test verifies parentage and increases predictability. All animals are tested free of any known genetic defect. ET Bulls: The ET bulls are raised by a surrogate mother. Therefore, the bulls actual birth weight and weaning weight are not a representation of the bulls genetics. Consequently, we have chosen not to provide this information as it is inaccurate. EPDs do a much better job of showing the genetic value of these bulls.
