TERMS :The terms are cash or check on sale day payable to Modern Associates, Sales Manager, in U.S. funds unless other arrangements are made with the consignor prior to the sale. All payments must be made to the clerk of the sale and no release of animals will be given until satisfactory settlement has been made. The guarantees listed below shall be offered by the seller only after payment terms have been met by the purchaser. BIDS: The highest bidder shall be the buyer. In case of dispute, the animals shall again be put up for ad- vance bids and if there be no advance bid, the animal shall be sold to the person from whom the auctioneer accepted the last bid. Every animal is pledged to absolute sale and by-bidding is prohibited. Every animal must be transferred to the new owner and may not be transferred back to the seller, except at the discretion of the recording society concerned. EXPORT TRANSACTIONS: Prospective buyers or agents must make satisfactory agreement regarding health tests and requirements with the consignor and/or sale’s management prior to the sale. Failure to do so shall make the buyer responsible for all health tests. Any special terms of payment must be cleared with the sale’s management prior to the sale. RISK: All animals are at the purchaser’s risk as soon as struck off, but will be cared for free of charge for a reasonable length of time. Purchasers must make arrangements for care of their purchase if not removed within 24 hours following the sale. Separate agreement must be approved on export cattle. All animals are at the consignor’s risk prior to selling in the event of fire or other mishap. All semen and embryos sold shall immediately become the buyer’s property and risk as soon as struck off. CERTIFICATES OF REGISTRY AND TRANSFER: Each animal which is cataloged, offered, and sold as registered shall be recorded in the Herdbook of the Brown Swiss Cattle Breeders’ Association of the U.S.A. The sale management shall be responsible that every animal be transferred within 30 days to the purchaser at the seller’s expense, such transfer to be recorded on the Certificate of Registry by the Secretary of the Association.

WARRANTIES (1) The seller warrants clear title to the animal and right to sell the same. (2) Unless otherwise noted in the catalog or announced from the auction stand, each animal is sold as sound. All udder guarantees will cease when the cattle are loaded for removal from the barn. (3) BULLS: Are sold as being able to serve and settle after reaching 14 months of age. The buyer is ex- pected to provide reasonable care and feeding. Should the bull prove to be a non-breeder, the buyer shall notify the seller within four months after the bull reaches 14 months of age. The seller shall then have six months to prove the bull to be a breeder. In no case shall the seller be responsible for more than the selling price.

Should any other female not pregnant when sold fail to become preg- nant within six months of sale date, or if less than 15 months old when sold, by the time she reaches the age of 21 months, after having been bred to a bull known to be a breeder and after having been treated by a licensed veterinarian, the matter shall be reported in writing to the seller within two weeks of the afore- mentioned times. The seller will then have the privilege of six months time in which to prove the animal a breeder before refunding the purchase price. Females bred when sold are presumed to be pregnant, but pregnancy is not guaranteed. The seller makes no warranty that females announced safe in calf will deliver live calves, or that they will carry calves full term, nor does he guarantee that the calf carried will not be mummified. In no case shall the seller be responsible for more than the sale price of the animal. (4) Above warranties cease when the animal is disposed of by the original purchaser. (5) Transportation charges on all animals subject to adjustment shall be paid by shipper. (6) If, after the sale, embryos or oocytes are recovered from a female or she is superovulated the Breeding Warranty is negated. (7) Embryos - the seller warrants that embryos have been recovered, processed, frozen, transferred and graded in keeping with the American Embryo Transfer Association recommendations unless otherwise announced from the auction stand.

Breeders and Dairymen: We welcome you to Ohio and the Ohio National Hall of Fame Sale. This year’s sale will be the fourth National Sale that we have managed under the sponsorship of the Ohio Brown Swiss Association. It is said that “Time changes all things” and that is definately the case in the dairy and genetics business. We have unquestionably seen dramatic advancements in the way we breed, manage and evaluate our cattle. The increased production is amazing when we look at comparisons. In the 1987 Ohio National, we offered three head from dams over 30,000m including the breed’s leading cows for fat and protein at that time. In 2017, we are offering over half of the entire sale from dams over 30,000m with five over 40,000m. We attempt to select and offer diversity to meet different criteria. Not everyone orders the same items from the menu, thus we present a varied selection: t Deep Production, Type & Foundation Pedigrees t Fancy type to suit the eyes for all levels of competition t Variety of sires, genomics and new pedigrees Enjoy yourself in Ohio but make sure to take advantage of the Brown Swiss opportunities available July 8th. ~ Wayne LIVE ONLINE BIDDING
