RETAINED SEMEN INTEREST IN BULLS Buyers have full possession of bulls and 100 percent salvage value of bulls unless otherwise noted in sale day Supplement Sheet. Town Creek Farm retains one-half revenue sharing semen interest in bulls.

SALE LOT EAR TAGS ON CATTLE Ear tags on animals correspond to lot numbers listed in the sale catalog.

USER-FRIENDLY BULLS Certain bulls will be identified as UF –User-Friendly–on the supplement sheet. Bulls selected as UF bulls

have temperaments that appear to be docile under stress and pressure conditions. UF bulls are highly recommended for single bull buyers who handle bulls alone or in small areas. Town Creek Farm makes every attempt to properly identify these bulls and errs on the side of caution when making this determination. This designation is not a guarantee of disposition. SALE ORDER Printed sale orders will be provided on sale day. Sale cattle will not pass through an auction ring. An individual video of each bull lot (Lots 1-145) will appear on viewing screens as lot is sold. High-quality bulls will sell throughout the entire sale as bulls are sold individually by pen group. Commercial bred heifers will sell in groups of five (±) by consignor. Groups will appear on viewing screens as they are sold per supplement sheet. Buyers have the option to roll two pens of heifers at established price as long as heifers are from the same consignor. After three pens, price is reestablished through the bidding process.
