(2) Unless otherwise noted in the catalog, or announced from the auction stand prior to the animal being struck off, each animal is sold as sound. All udder guarantees will cease when the cattle are loaded for removal from the barn.

(3) Animals are guaranteed to be breeders in accordance with the following: (A) Bulls are sold as being able to serve and settle after reaching 14 months of age. The buyer us expected to provide reasonable care and feeding. Should the bull prove to be a non-breeder, the buyer shall notify the seller within four months after a bull reaches 14 months of age.

PERMITS: Before shipping cattle into some states, it is necessary to obtain a permit from the Livestock Sanitary Official of the state into which the cattle are to be shipped and since no charge is usually made for a permit, it may expedite the shipping of cattle if intended purchasers secure their permits before the sale.
