Important Notice to Vendors ARRIVAL OF STOCK: As per timetable of events (page 7).

PRE-SALE INSPECTION: All animals entered for the sale must be available for inspection in the sale premises by a panel of inspectors, including a qualified Veterinary Officer. The Inspectors will have regard to general health and genetic defects, particularly mouth, teeth, eyes, testicles, locomotion and general conformation. Any animal discovered with a genetic fault, disease, disorder or is considered by the panel to be not in a proper and healthy condition to be presented as representing a good specimen of the breed will be REJECTED and the Entry Fee forfeit. Animals will be placed in a crush for this inspection - as required by the inspectors. No pedigree or grade registered stock, entered for the sale, shall have horns.

Two Society Members will form an appeal committee, one of whom will be a society council member.

The appeal committee will be elected prior to the sale.

If any exhibitor feels the need to formally lodge an appeal against the result of an inspection, they must from the beginning speak ONLY to the Chief Inspector. He will then ask for a deposit of £20 from the exhibitor. The appeal committee will then carry out their own inspection of the animal and their decision will be final. The deposit will only be returned if the appeal is successful.

RECORD WEIGHTS & HEIGHTS: All bulls will be weighed and measured by an official as an integral part of the pre-sale inspection procedure and the data will be displayed above the animals pen.

EVERY ANIMAL entered for the SHOW and SALE must be halter trained and shall have no horns. Bulls must be led with a nose rope. Every animal entered for the sale must be provided with a serviceable halter, which shall become the property of the Purchaser.

UK TAGS/TATTOO MARKS - All cattle entered for the Sale will have their UK Tags/Tattoo marks examined as an integral part of the pre sale inspection procedure. Any marks found to have faulty, incorrect or illegible marks will be REJECTED from the Sale. Vendors are therefore urged, in their own best interests, to examine the UK Tags/Tattoo marks of Sale cattle before the animal(s) leave their farm, so that faulty marks can be recitified in accordance with the required Society procedures.

CONDITIONS OF SALE The sale will be held subject to the Auction Rules and Conditions of Sale drawn up by the British Blue Cattle Society: “No member shall withdraw from sale any animal catalogued for sale. Any member who, having entered an animal for sale under these rules, fails to bring that animal to that sale, must produce, either at the sale or by post to reach the Registered office of the Society within 7 days of the sale, a veterinary surgeon’s certificate accounting for such absence on grounds of health. Failure to produce such a certificate within the time stipulated will automatically render the member liable to a summary fine of £50 (imposed by the Council and subject to variation from time to time) in respect of each animal not brought forward. In addition, all entry fees will be forfeited, and no further pedigree registrations or entries for other sales will be accepted from that member until such fine or fines have been paid.”

The proceeds of sale are guaranteed by the Auctioneers, who will account to Vendors on the day of the Sale. Such guarantee, however, does not extend to the animals sold for export, to which special conditions apply.

UPSET PRICES - There will be an “upset” price of 1500gns on each bull presented for sale - i.e. if no opening bid of 1500gns is received for any particular lot that lot will be passed out of ring unsold.

ALL REGISTERED CATTLE entered for the Show & Sale (Pedigree or Grade Register), also pregnant recipient cows or heifers will be sold in guineas (105 pence) and a commission 5% will be charged by the Auctioneers on all sale.

RESERVE PRICES: Vendors shall have the right to refuse to accept the final bid for their animals, or to fix a Reserve Price, which must be notified to the Auctioneers in writing before or at the time their animal enters the Sale Ring. The auctioneers reserve the right to charge half commission on the amount of the final bid in the case of animals which fail to reach the Vendors reserve price.

All animals will be sold in guineas (105 pence) and a commission of 5% will be charged by the Auctioneers on all sales.

9 No animal may be sold privately before being passed through the Auction Ring and FULL COMMISSION will be charged on the sale of any animal sold by private treaty after the auction. All such transactions MUST BE PASSED THROUGH THE AUCTIONEERS OFFICE. PRIZE MONEY: Will be withheld unless the winners are sold, either by auction or private treaty.

STRAW: A limited amount of bedding straw will be provided by the Auctioneers free of charge. Additional Straw, if required, may be purchased from the Auctioneers.

The British Blue Cattle Society’s Sale levy, amounting to 1% of sale price, will be deducted by the Auctioneers from the proceeds of sale.

INSPECTION CRITERIA AT SOCIETY SPONSORED SALES MINIMUM HEIGHT WEIGHT AND SCROTUM DIMENSIONS January 2013 This document is published to help members select cattle of the right type and specification, for entry into prestigious sales, held under the auspices of the Society. It also sets out criteria for the Society’s Volunteer Inspectors to work to, which in turn, facilitates uniformity across all Society sales. Apart from meeting the minimum standards stated below, pedigree cattle should also conform to the Society’s Bylaws, number 1.1 of which states: “The definition of the breed’s characteristics is as follows: A long, large bodied beef animal with fine bones, double muscle, sloping rump and hidden hips, strong legs and correct mouth. Coat colour can be black, white, blue, or any combination of these colours that is acceptable to the Council.”

1. The ear tattoo should be clearly legible and the letters and numbers agree with the pedigrees. Animals born after 1 January 1998 require no tattoo, on condition that they have been double tagged, as per Ministry regulations 2. Animals must conform to minimum heights and weights specified by the Society’s Council. See over for the detailed charts 3. Teeth and jaws should be correct in terms of position and bone structure. A degree of latitude shall be allowed where an animal is cutting teeth. The Chief Inspectors decision is final, with regard to acceptable jaw and teeth configurations.

4. The testicles and sheath shall be checked for correctness. Testicles should be of good conformation and consistency, with the epididymis showing definition. The minimum circumference of the scrotum between 10 and 24 months is shown overleaf. Animals over 24 months must have a minimum scrotal circumference of 32cm.

5. All animals must be in good, healthy condition and free from signs of infectious diseases, such as Viral Warts, Live Ring Worm etc. (A Veterinary certificate must accompany animals if previously treated, this treatment must have been carried out at least 14 days prior to the sale), Mange, New Forest Disease, Lice.

6. All animals should be able to walk correctly, on the day of inspection, with no genetic defects. The general mobility of the animal should be acceptable for practical use and not be detrimental to the breed’s reputation. Bulls with an exceptional conformation will be allowed a degree of latitude with regard to mobility The Council of the British Blue Cattle Society would urge all potential vendors to adhere strictly to these notes when entering cattle into official sales and to seek advice, prior to the sale, if they are uncertain as to whether an animal will pass.

This will avoid the disappointment of any of their cattle being rejected by the Inspectors.

Should any cattle be rejected, it is the vendor’s responsibility to ensure that the Lot Number is sprayed in red at the time of inspection. Such cattle may be sold privately from the pens, the sale going through the auctioneer’s books.

Rejected animals may not be sold through the pedigree or commercial ring at a Society sale SAFETY A Vendor must not enter for sale, any animal with a potentially dangerous temperament. The Society’s Inspectors have the right to demand the immediate removal, from the sale and the sale premises, of any animal, which, in their opinion, demonstrates a temperament, which could be dangerous to the public x x x

x

All Animals Must Be Halter Trained No Animal Shall Have Horns It is a statutory requirement that any bull over the age of 12 months, sold through a public auction, shall have a ring in its nose The objective of the Official Society Inspection is primarily in place to raise the breed standard and the inspection panel’s decision is intended as a purchasers guide only. Prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves as to the suitability of an animal for their particular requirements. By bidding for an animal the intendedWEIGHT purchaser accepts the Societies and Auctioneers conditions FOR AGE of sale, the animal being theirs at the fall of the hammer.

3 Month Rule – No calf, whether pedigree or commercial, under the age of 3 months will be accepted for either the show, or sale C:\Users\User2\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Content.Outlook\ACED23EU\Criteria Revised January 2013.doc

Bulls over 24 months of age will pass inspection, provided that they are over 687 kg in weight.

Heifers over 24 months of age will pass inspection, provided that they are over 617 kg in weight.

14 NOTICE TO PURCHASERS The objective of the Official Society Inspection is primarily in place to raise the breed standard and the inspection panel’s decision is intended as a purchasers guide only.

Prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves as to the suitability of an animal for their particular requirements. By bidding for an animal the intended purchaser accepts the Societies and Auctioneers conditions of sale, the animal being theirs at the fall of the hammer.

The British Blue Cattle Society Guide to looking after your new Bull It is often, quite correctly said, that the bull is half the herd. This should mean that he is treated as being as important as all the other stock put together. What often happens, in practice, is that he is lucky if he is given half the care and attention that others receive. This is in spite of being possibly, the most expensive single animal in the herd.

The first thing to do, when buying, or hiring a new bull, is to plan ahead. Do not rush out to find a bull today, because you want to use him tomorrow. First, be sure about what kind of bull you want and, how many you need and give yourself time to get the right ones. How many you need, depends, not just on the size of the herd but also on the breeding season. It is the number of cows per day, when working, which matters, not the total number of cows.

Another reason for planning ahead is to allow time for the bull to settle in. Leaving home for a young bull is just as big a wrench, as it is for your children when they go to ‘big school’, or leave home. Some bulls are affected by the stress of travel, showing and the sale ring. Stress can disrupt the reproductive system. Some bulls will have poor semen quality for up to two months, following transport. By the time poor results are noticed and a vet, like myself, gets around to looking at the semen, the situation is back to normal. The wise farmer uses this period for quarantine and settling in.

You should, of course, always buy bulls from a reputable source, for both quality and health. As far as reproduction goes – size does matter but it is the testicles, rather than any other anatomical feature. Scrotal circumference is a good ‘rule of thumb’ indicator of a bull’s capacity and you should be looking for 31cm+.

However, remember that bulls are still maturing in this respect, up to 2 years of age, or so, so do not overtax them when young.

Some bulls will be 18 months old, or more, before beginning to produce decent semen. British Blue bulls being warranted from 20 months. Give your bull a gentle introduction to the herd. Just give a small group of females at first, (preferably heifers, for a young bull). Young Blues are often unbalanced by their large backends, and, if they cannot get a good grip on the cow, will do an involuntary backward somersault, at the critical moment. Present a young ‘Blue’ with a large Holstein and you are in “It’s a business doing pleasure with you” territory!

These are simply matters of common sense; a young bull will not have the capacity, skill, or psychological strength to cope with being suddenly turned out with a herd of large, bossy cows.

Always keep a close check on your bull in the early days. Watch him to ensure he is not having problems with service and, that his libido is good. Check the females regularly for pregnancy. If there is a problem you need to know quickly.

Finally, do not forget his psychological development. Few bulls are natural born killers. Those that turn nasty are mostly made so, by lack of attention and by only being handled for unpleasant purposes.

Keeping a tractable, well-behaved bull takes time and effort. He should be handled and put through handling facilities regularly, for no reason other than to give him a reward. He should have comfortable quarters and his feet etc., should be well cared for. Your bull can make a great contribution to your business: Look after him and he will look after you!

UNDERSTANDING BREEDPLAN Only British Blue GROUP BREEDPLAN EBVs or INTERIM EBVs with Accuracy (Acc) can be validly compared between herds.

ESTIMATED BREEDING VALUES (EBVS) The EBV is the best estimate of an animal's genetic merit for that trait.

ACCURACY An accuracy value is presented with every EBV and gives an indication of the amount of information that has been used in the calculation of that EBV. The higher the accuracy the lower the likelihood of change in the animal's EBV as more information is analysed for that animal or it's relatives. Accuracy below 75% should be considered low.

CALVING EASE Calving Ease EBVs are based on calving difficulty scores, birth weights and gestation length information. More positive EBVs are favourable and indicate easier calving.

DIR: Direct calving ease indicates how this animal influences the birth of its progeny.

DTRS: Daughterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s calving ease indicates how well the animal produces daughters that have easier calving.

BIRTH AND FERTILITY GL: Gestation Length EBV (days) is based on AI records. Lower (negative) GL EBVs indicate shorter gestation lengths which generally relate to easier calving and increased growth after birth.

BWT: Birth Weight EBV (kg) is based on the measured birth weight of animals, adjusted for dam age. The lower the value the lighter the calf at birth and the lower the likelihood of a difficult birth. This is particularly important when selecting sires for use over heifers.

SS: Scrotal Size EBV (cm) is an indicator of male fertility in regards to semen quality and quantity. Higher (positive) EBVs indicate higher fertility. There is also a small negative correlation with age of puberty in female progeny.

GROWTH MILK: 200-Day Milk EBV (kg) is an estimate of an animal's milking ability. For sires, this EBV is indicative of their daughterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s milking ability as it affects the 200-day weight of their calves.

200: 200-Day Growth EBV (kg) is calculated from the weight of animals taken between 80 and 300 days of age. Values are adjusted to 200 days and for dam age. This EBV is the best single estimate of an animal's genetic merit for growth to early ages.

400: 400-Day Weight EBV (kg) is calculated from the weight of progeny taken between 301 and 500 days of age, adjusted to 400 days and for dam age. This EBV is the best single estimate of an animal's genetic merit for yearling weight.

600: 600-Day Weight EBV (kg) is calculated from the weight of progeny taken between 501 and 900 days of age, adjusted to 600 days and for dam age. This EBV is the best single estimate of an animal's genetic merit for growth beyond yearling age.

MWT: Mature Cow Weight EBV (kg) is an estimate of the genetic difference in cow weight at 5 years of age. Smaller, or more moderate EBVs are generally more favourable.

16

CARCASE CWT: Carcase Weight EBV (kg) estimates the genetic difference in carcase weight at a standard age of 650 days.

EMA: Eye Muscle Area EBV (cm2) estimates genetic differences in eye muscle area of a 300kg dressed carcase. More positive EBVs indicate better muscling on animals.

FAT: Rib Fat EBV (mm) estimates the genetic differences in fat depth at the rib in a 300kg dressed carcase. More positive EBVs indicate more subcutaneous fat and earlier maturity.

RBY%: Retail Beef Yield Percent EBV (%) represents total (boned out) meat yield as a percentage of a 300kg dressed carcase. A more positive EBV indicates higher percentage yield for the 300kg carcase size.

IMF%: Intra-muscular Fat Percent EBV (%) is an estimate of the genetic difference in the percentage of intra-muscular fat at the 12/13th rib site in a 300kg carcase. Depending on market targets, larger more positive values are generally more favourable.

INDEXES An index combines the EBVs with economic information (costs and returns) for specific market and production systems to rank animals based on relative profit values. Note that the different types of animals can give similar profit values, so you should also consider both the index and the component EBVs when selecting animals for your production system.

BBB Profitability Index (£’s) - Estimates the genetic differences between animals in net profitability per cow mated for an example commercial herd targeting the EU market with no marbling requirement. All progeny are assumed to be marketed at around 550-580 kg live weight (280-320 kg carcase weight) at approximately 19 months of age.

Bulls with a higher BBB Carcase Yield Index will have a greater genetic potential to sire heavier finished progeny. As there are no maternal traits included in the calculation of the BB Carcase Yield Index, bulls with a high Index will not necessarily be suitable for breeding heifer replacements.

BBB Pedigree Breeding Index (£’s) - This index (£ per cow joined) targets herds that breed their own replacement cows and bulls and slaughter progeny from large framed cows. Steer progeny are slaughter at around 16 months of age at 620 kg live weight (360 kg carcase weight). The main EBV emphases are on weight, carcase retail beef yield and calving ease.

The index estimates the genetic differences between animals in net profitability per cow mated for a herd targeting the EU market with no marbling requirement. With this in mind, the index also identifies suitable replacement breeding animals by also considering the maternal and fertility traits of the animal. Therefore, both direct and daughters calving ease are included in the index.

This index is only reported for animals with at least moderate accuracy for the key traits.

Animals must also be in the top 50th percentile or better for Calving Ease Direct, 400 Day Weight and Retail Beef Yield % EBVs. The British Blue GROUP BREEDPLAN Estimated Breeding Values contained in this Sale Catalogue were compiled by the Agricultural Business Research Institute (ABRI) from data supplied by the breeders. Neither the British Blue Cattle Society nor the ABRI oversee or audit the collection of this data.

The British Blue Cattle Society draws purchasers and vendors attention, to the following Conditions of Warranty Bylaw, incorporated into its Bull & Female Breeding Warranty.

Conditions of Warranty Taking care to settle a newly purchased bull properly will assist in ensuring that you have many years of good service from him.

Under the terms of the British Blue Bull and Female Breeding Warranty the purchaser is required to maintain the animal in normal breeding condition, in accordance with the rules and practice of good animal husbandry and management, as referred to in clauses 4.2 and 6.1 and 8.1.4.2.

Following purchase the Society would require a purchaser to adhere to the following points to fulfil the requirement of ‘Good husbandry and management’ 1)

The bull is not used within one month of the date of purchase.

2)

Ensure that the bull is in ‘Breeding condition’ before use.

3)

When the bull is first used, try it with 1-2 smaller cows first, in a yard on a non-slip surface, so he is introduced to service gradually and safely. Observe him closely to ensure that he is inseminating the cow properly.

4)

Once you are satisfied that these cows are not returning then put the bull out with the rest of your cows. 20 to 25 cows is a maximum in the first year.

5)

British Blues are warranted fertile from 20 months of age. The Bull is not warranted if it is used prior to this age.

6)

It is a fact that ‘British Blues’ as a breed, sexually mature, 4-5 months later than some other Breeds. Please bear this in mind

Failure to observe the above could invalidate a claim under the Bull Breeding Warranty

It is a condition of sale, that where a warranty claim on a bull is upheld, that the purchaser shall agree to the Society or its agent, on behalf of the vendor, should it choose to do so, of having access to all calves that he has bred in the last 12 months, along with their dams if necessary, for the purpose of undertaking DNA parentage checks.

4.2

BASIS OF THE CONTRACT These Terms shall (subject to Clause 2.2 hereof) form the basis of the Contract between the Vendor and the Purchaser and from the said Contract all conditions and warranties implied under the Sale of Goods Act 1979 or any other statutory enactment or implied by law or custom are expressly excluded subject to the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977 or any statutory re-enactment or modification thereof.

These Terms may not be varied in any way except by an announcement by the Auctioneers before or at the time of the sale and, apart from such announcement, no servant or agent of the vendor has authority to make any representation, waiver or variation of or inconsistent with any of these Terms or to make any collateral contract or other arrangement to which these Terms do not apply.

The British Blue Cattle Society does not accept any liability arising out of the use or application or form of these Terms.

Only animals owned by a member of the British Blue Cattle Society and entered in the Herd Book of the Society or registers supplementary thereto shall be offered for Sale under these Terms.

GENERAL WARRANTIES Each animal offered for sale has been bred by the Vendor unless otherwise stated in the Sale Catalogue or by the Auctioneers at the time of sale.

The Vendor guarantees the identity, correctness of pedigree, history and description of each animal submitted for sale and contained in the Sale Catalogue (including all flushings for embryo transfer, caesarean operations and calvings recorded) save to the extent that any miss-description would be apparent on inspection or unless specifically amended by an announcement by the Auctioneers before or at the time of the sale.

BULL BREEDING WARRANTY Subject to the provisions of Clauses 4.2, 4.3, 6, 8 and 11 hereof each bull over the age of ten months at the date of the sale is sold with a warranty by the Vendor that it is capable of getting stock by natural service from twenty months of age which shall be deemed to be fulfilled as soon as six Females or fifty per cent of the herd whichever shall be the lesser number of the animals put to the bull are in calf to the bull by natural service subsequent to the sale.

TRIAL PERIOD. The Purchaser shall give the bull sufficient time and opportunity to prove itself capable of getting stock by natural service while applying the standards of good husbandry and management, including the Society’s “Conditions of Warranty” Bylaw shown below, and subject to Clause 4.3 hereof, in any event within six calendar months of the date of the sale or within six calendar months of attaining the age of twenty months (whichever is the later).

50

4.3

“Conditions of Warranty” Bylaw 1. The bull is not used within 14 days of the date of purchase.

2. Ensure that the bull is in ‘Breeding condition’ before use.

3. When the bull is first used, try it with 1-2 smaller cows first, in a yard on a non-slip surface, so he is introduced to service gradually and safely.

Observe him closely to ensure that he is inseminating the cow properly, thus giving the opportunity to identify any possible problems at an early stage, this being very much in the purchaser’s interest.

4. Once you are satisfied that these cows are not returning then put the bull out with the rest of your cows. 20 to 25 cows is a maximum in the first year.

5. British Blues bulls are warranted fertile from 20 months of age. The Bull is not warranted if it is used prior to this age.

6. It is a fact that ‘British Blues’ as a breed, sexually mature, 4-5 months later than some other breed’s please bear this in mind.

Failure to observe the above could invalidate a claim under the Bull Breeding Warranty

4.3

A claim for infertility or unsatisfactory mating performance will not normally be accepted, in the case of an inexperienced bull, until he has been allowed a minimum of three natural heat cycles with the females.

DEFERMENT OF THE COMMENCEMENT OF THE TRIAL PERIOD. If upon purchase of the bull, it is found impracticable for the Purchaser to try the bull fairly, within the period stated in clause 4.1 above, due to the purchasers normal calving programme, the purchaser shall ON THE DAY OF THE SALE, or within the next seven days, give the auctioneer notice IN WRITING of the month in which it is proposed to commence using the bull.

AT THE DISCRETION OF THE VENDOR (in consultation with the auctioneer, if applicable), the vendor may extend the date of commencement of the Trial Period to the first day of the month in which the Purchaser has notified the vendor as in clause 4.2. Acceptance or otherwise of the purchasers written request, shall be conveyed to the purchaser, by the auctioneer, in writing, within seven days of the request being made.

4.4

NB. The maximum time allowed for extending the trial period is three months from the date of the sale, or the bull attaining 20 months of age, whichever is the later.
