Herd Health:
Delivery:
Ask any cattle buyer today and they will tell you that two of the most important factors when they are buying your cattle are genetics and health. Our cattle have been developed under our very extensive health protocol. All animals and the entire Trinity Farms breeding herd are properly vaccinated and boostered annually with Inforce 3 (2x in calves) Bovishield Gold 5 FP5 VL5 HB (3x in yearlings by sale time), Ultra Choice 8 (3x per year), One shot (pasturella), Multimin, Vitamin A&D, Pinkeye vaccine at branding, injectable de-wormer at branding, pour on de-wormer at weaning, and Valbazen drench in the fall for internal parasites and liver flukes. All heifers are calfhood vaccinated for Brucellosis. Free choice salt and minerals are provided year round as required.
We offer free delivery on any bull up to 300 miles to a central point and free delivery on 5 or more bulls up to 500 miles to a central point. All other deliveries are made at cost. We will make every attempt to deliver bulls directly to your ranch when we can. All females are delivered at cost. All cattle will be delivered at the buyer’s risk. Our goal is to complete all deliveries by the end of March and will do all that we can to assist you in getting females delivered to you at the lowest possible cost. With our spring field work and AI programs starting in late March, it makes completing our deliveries by the end of March necessary, your cooperation in this regard is greatly appreciated. For those of you making volume purchases, please contact Robb to arrange for special freight considerations.
Breeding Soundness Exam:
Your bulls may be kept at Trinity Farms free of charge until March 15th 2018. Your bulls may be kept here until May 1st 2018 if needed, feed and care will be charged @ $4.00/day. Although we will care for the bulls to the best of our ability, they are here at your own risk and we recommend that you insure your bulls to protect your investment. Any bulls being fed at Trinity Farms past the delivery schedule will need to be picked up by the buyer.
Don Peter, DVM. All bulls will have passed a breeding soundness exam and will be declared satifactory breeders. Scrotal circumferences are available in this catalog. All females have been palpated and vet inspected.
Semen Interest: Trinity Farms is reserving a 50% net revenue semen interest in every bull. You have full possession of the bull and retain all salvage value. This just provides Trinity Farms the right to 50% of the net revenue semen sales in the event that future semen sales on your bull become a possibility. As many bulls are being “discovered” later in life with the increasing use of AI in commercial settings, this allows for maximum opportunity for you as the buyer as well as Trinity Farms. You are free to collect the bull as you see fit and that is something that we certainly encourage on higher value bulls as a way to protect your investment. If the buyer is not interested in collecting or marketing semen from a bull, Trinity has the right to collect a semen bank on the bull at our cost and the buyer’s convenience. This semen bank would be 100% owned by Trinity Farms for use in our program or marketing efforts. On those bulls where opportunity exists, we are excited to be able to continue our relationship with you in a marketing effort and will be glad to visit with you about those specifics when the time arises.
Insurance: Livestock mortality insurance will be available sale day through Stockmens Insurance Agency LLC.
Announcements: Announcements from the auction block regarding all cattle selling take precedence over printed material in the sale book or other printed material associated with this sale.
Liability: Trinity Farms' representatives or any of the sale staff assume no liability, legal or otherwise for any accidents or injuries that may occur. Each animal will become the buyer's risk as soon as the animal is sold.
