A son won the Barry County Fair Rate of Gain contest, gaining 3.8 pounds per day. His daughters are making very good, easy keeping brood cows. Their maternal grand sire, Endsley’s Duke Stone 257, was an American-International Charolais Association Multiple Trait Leader for three years.

Guarantee 1 pregnancy (per package) if implanted by a certified embryologist. I never planned on selling another daughter of this great donor, I wanted a whole herd of her around! But my daughter, Kylea, has decided that she enjoys the steer projects more and this is why we are offering these embryos. Full sibs to these embryos have sold to Texas, Oklahoma, South Carolina & Ohio. Sons of the dam have sired show winning females, a steer won the Winter Beef Show as well as several other Shorthorn shows that year and her daughters have competed at the highest level in the show ring and out in the pasture with the best producing cows. This cow is hands down the best female I have ever owned a part of, a truly amazing beast in person!

If, at the end of six months, the seller is unable to prove that the animal is a breeder, the seller shall, at the option of the buyer, replace the animal with another of equal value or refund the purchase price. The return of the full purchase price shall in any case be deemed as full satisfaction and settlement. Any expense incurred for transporting an animal claimed to be a non-breeder back to the seller’s farm shall be the responsibility of the seller. If the seller proves the animal to be a breeder, it shall be the obligation of the purchaser to take delivery of the animal and pay all expenses incurred for transportation back to the purchaser’s farm.

Terms & Conditions (con’t) Genetic Condition Disclaimer (cont.) 3. The seller should print in the catalog all EPDs and accuracies for each EPD trait and all breed indexes on each animal selling. This information should be presented in a standardized manner as seen in sire summaries or breed EPD information released by ASA. This performance information should be the latest and most actuate data at the time the catalog is printed, providing the animal qualifies to have EPDs attached to their registered pedigree. Any other pertinent performance data such as BW, WW, YW or Carcass Data that is available should be added to the performance listing in the catalog at the seller’s discretion. 4. Special designations with letter terminologies will be given to breeder’s sales and / or individual lots in a sale that make it a priority to test and disclose all Genetic Conditions and Comply with All Performance data listed. a) GCF (Genetic Condition Free) –A sale offering or an individual lot that has been tested or all animals and/or genetic material found in the pedigree within 3 generations to be free of any Genetic Condition Abnormalities. b) GCT (Genetic Condition Tested) – A sale offering or individual lot that has tested all animals and/or genetic material that may be potential Genetic Condition carriers and the results of those tests are displayed in the appropriate manner for all animals and/or genetic material that may be at risk as a Genetic Condition carrier. This means that all possible Genetic Condition Carriers are identified according to the descriptions in paragraph 1 under Disclosure of Genetic Conditions and Performance Data. There may be carrier animals or genetic material selling but they have been tested and are disclosed and all potential animals and/or genetic material at risk to be a carrier have been tested and the results disclosed. c) CAP (Complies with All Performance listing) – A sale offering or an individual lot. That complies with all performance listings of all Shorthorn EPD traits with accuracies and indexes in the appropriate standardized manner as described in paragraph 4 above under Disclosure of Genetic Conditions and Performance Data. Standard Breeding Guarantee 1. All animals sell under the terms and conditions of the American Shorthorn Association Standard Breeding Guarantee. 2. All animals are guaranteed to be breeders unless they fail to breed due to injury or disease occurring after purchase. 3. Bulls are guaranteed breeders, regardless of age at date of sale, provided that: a. the bull is at least 14 months of age before being allowed to breed cows in a pasture situation. b. the cow herd is healthy. c. A breeding soundness exam (BSE) shall constitute fertility if performed after the bull becomes 12 months of age and is performed no more than 30 days prior to date of sale. d. the ability to freeze semen does not imply fertility guarantee. A guarantee for this would require an additional agreement between buyer and seller. 4. Females are guaranteed breeders, regardless of age at date of sale, except if after date of sale, female is flushed (single egg or multiple ovulations) prior to being bred for a natural calf. 5. Females sold as safe in calf should be determined by a licensed veterinarian. If a female proves not to be in calf to the bull stated, in the time frame stated, the buyer can exercise his choice of options as follows: a. request a full and prompt refund of the purchase price upon return of the female to the sellers farm b. request an adjustment to the purchase price c. request service to the bull previously used, if available d. request a combination of options b and c e. if option b,c and/or d is used, such female is still guaranteed to breed f. if female sells guaranteed bred to a certain sire, and proves to have been bred to a different sire, the buyer can choose from options a, b, c or d as stated above. g. seller has a six month period of time to prove that the female is a breeder. 6. Females sold as served. Served females are believed to be in calf, but not so guaranteed. If the female proves to not be bred, the buyer may obtain service from the bull previously used, if available. Such females are still guaranteed to be a breeder. 7. Females sold as “pasture exposed” are regarded as “females sold as served”, and same particulars apply. 8. Females sold as open are believed to be open, and are so guaranteed. If a female sold as open proves to be in calf, the purchaser may return the animal to the farm of the seller, prior to calving, for a full and prompt refund of the purchase price or for another animal of equal value, whichever is acceptable to the purchaser. It is the obligation of the seller to bear any expense incurred for transportation. 9. Cows with calves at side, when sold as pairs, cows are presumed breeders with no further guarantee. In cases where the pair is split, the standard breeding guarantee applies to the calf. 10. Females that are flushed after purchase and produce a fertilized embryo are considered breeders, and need not conceive for natural calving after that flush. 11. Females that have been flushed prior to date of sale are still subject to the standard breeding guarantee, unless the seller clearly and prominently states the female is not guaranteed. 12. All females, including virgin heifer calves, regardless of age at date of sale, are guaranteed breeders, unless the buyer chooses to flush the female prior to breeding for natural calf. Such flush, even if unsuccessful, negates the standard breeding guarantee, unless a specific and separate agreement is made with the seller prior to flush 13. A female which fails to conceive for a natural calf, at the option of the buyer, with agreement with the seller, can be flushed and if the flush produces fertilized viable embryos, such constitutes fertility and satisfies the guarantee.
