General Terms & Conditions Dear Friends, In front of you you see the catalog from the first online bull sale. This sale offers the very best of the today Holstein Industry. Diamond Genetics sees proud in it to be able to offer you such an outstanding variety of bulls. The interest from breeders across the world to consign bulls to this new iniative has been overwhelming so we very fortunate to select the very very best! The bidding The sale will take place in the week starting November 22nd. The bidding possibility starts this day. From November 29 3.00 PM Amsterdam Time / 8.00 AM Central Time the sale will work with the “8 - minute rule”. Each time someone bids within the last 8 minutes of an auction, the closing time is extended by another 8 minutes until no more bids are placed. Therefore it is unnecessarily risky to wait with your bid till the last seconds before an auction closes. The sale will also work with a “proxy-bid”. With a proxy bid you indicate the maximum price that you are willing to pay for the lot. Then the auction system will automatically increase your bid if you are outbid by a third party. This process continues automatically until your maximum bid is reached. If another bidder places a static bid equal to the maximum of your earlier placed automatic bid, the automatic bid comes first (an automatic bid beats the static bid). The selection The succesfull bidder of each item has the option to select a first choice bull from each sale lot. This can be done with the help of genomics. The successful bidder also has the right but not the obligation to buy all other bulls (except for the second choice) for 50% of the price of the first choice. The sale organization can provide the service for genomic testing. If you need any further information please free to contact us. Best regards,
Jan de Vries Diamond Genetics
