Cattle Load Out
Palpation
Cattle can be loaded out during and after the sale on Friday and Saturday. We ask that any pot-sized loads wait until the conclusion of the sales to load out. We will load out cattle on Sunday and ask that each buyer inform the clerks of your desire to load out on Sunday along with an approximate time of arrival. If you require a load out on another day, please inform the clerks concerning your desired date and time.
Females noted as examined safe have been palpated by ultrasound technology. We have given you our best estimate as to the approximate calving time frame. Palpation and dates due are a best estimate and not guaranteed to be 100% accurate. Each female called bred is so guaranteed.
Genetic Conditions
Herd Health
Relative to genetic disorders, every animal in this sale has a notation in their respective data box as either “Free” or noted with a carrier condition prefix (DDC). Those noted as “Free” are either tested free or considered free due to their free sires and dams. Those noted with a “C” in their genetic prefix are carriers only of a non-lethal recessive condition.
All cattle have been inspected for health and fertility by our veterinarian, are current with annual vaccinations and come with interstate health papers.
Terms and Conditions Sale terms and conditions can be found on page 104.
