Retained Interests

We’ve wanted a transparent scale of retained semen interest that we can refer to and is easily understood by everyone, thus resulting in no behind the scenes deal that benefits one bidder over another. Please refer to the retained semen interest levels below. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to call.

Level 1 - Up to $19,999 we will retain 50% semen interest

Level 2 - $20,000 to $39,999 we will retain 33.3% semen interest

Level 3 - $40,000 and above we will retain 25% semen interest

The buyer has the option to buy out our retained semen interest at the time of the sale if so desired. In the case that the buyout of seller’s retained semen interest happens, we retain the right to collect semen on the bull at our own expense for in herd use only. The formula we use to calculate the semen interest buyout is as follows:

[Purchase price = semen rights already purchased (60% of purchase price) + pasture rights (40% of purchase price)]

Volume Discounts:

We will be offering the following discounts for volume bull buyers:

3 head – 3% off total purchases

4 head – 4% off total purchases

5 head or more – 5% off total purchases

ALLOWING YOU ACCESS...

When semen is collected on a CDI bull with the intent to market:

We would like to visit with you before the sale if considering purchasing and marketing semen on a CDI bull. In a perfect world we would gladly share in all the collection expenses and promotion, then split revenue accordingly, but given the bookkeeping nightmare that can arise when trying to keep track of multiple different bulls per year, we are forced to narrow down our list of bulls each year that we move forward with, collecting and promoting. That being said we realize that you may see something that we are missing, or believe that a herd bull may have potential to sell semen. In the instance that you want to collect semen to market, we give you the go ahead to do so, we only ask that once you’ve recouped your expenses with semen revenue that we can then discuss a portion of the semen revenue be returned to the original breeder. We understand the complexities that can arise and only ask that you keep an open dialogue with us in your plans moving forward. We reserve the right to “opt out” of the expense sharing, but also understand that you will receive the revenue from semen sales till your expenses are covered.

Docility Scores (Doc):

Please note the docility score for each animal. We use a scoring system from 1-6 with lower scores indicating calmer, gentler cattle: 1 – Docile; 2 – Restless; 3 – Nervous; 4 – Flighty; 5 – Aggressive; 6 – Very Aggressive. Most of the bulls will fall in the 1 or 2 category, with an occasional 3. Anything above a 3 is automatically culled from the bull pen. Please use this as a relative gauge for your operation. If you have a lot of help from your family or inexperienced workers while working with your cattle, we recommend buying 1 and 2 scoring cattle. 3’s are completely manageable but have at times shown to be more nervous. These scores are based on our daily interactions with the bull to date. Keep in mind, as an animal gets older, or with different handling, its attitude can change.
