JBBA A.I. Program Rules In the past we have relied on donations of semen from breeders across the country for our junior members. This year breeders nominated their top bulls to the JBBA A.I. program. Rules for the A.I. program are as follows: 1. BBU members will nominate Beefmaster bulls to the JBBA office and pay a nomination fee for each bull of $150. 2. Bull nominations and fees are due by January 20, 2016 to JBBA office. You may email picture of bull (if available) and footnotes to mwoolfolk@beefmasters.org. 3. JBBA members will be allowed to contact BBU members from March 1 - May 1, 2016 and purchase semen on bulls nominated from BBU breeders at a cost of $15 per straw of semen. 4. BBU members are allowed to limit number of straws of semen a JBBA member is allowed to purchase on each bull. 5. If breeder limited the number of straws of semen that they are willing to sell to JBBA members on a particular bull is sold breeders does not have to sell any more semen to a JBBA member at a discounted price of $15/ straw. 6. JBBA office will provide JBBA members with a list of bulls that have been nominated by BBU members. 7. Semen purchased by JBBA members will not be allowed to transfer to BBU members. 8. BBU members are responsible for releasing semen to JBBA members once payment has been received and sending in an AI Transfer Certificate to the BBU office. 9. JBBA members are responsible for all freight cost associated with semen. 10. Breeders need to turn in AI Certificate Transfer Forms to BBU Office by June 1, 2016 for each bull that is nominated with JBBA member’s information. We encourage all JBBA members to contact the breeders that are offering semen for sale to junior members at a discounted price and visit with them about their bull(s). We appreciate the support of the BBU breeders that are participating in the 2016 JBBA AI program.
