Terms
of Sale: Cash or approved check.
Send 20% of the selling price of each lot to the sellers within two weeks
of the sale date. The balance is due when the heifers are
picked up.
Registration: All heifers are
registered with United Braford Breeders and each will be transferred to the
buyer at the seller's expense.
Health: All heifers will have
the customary respiratory and Clostridial vaccinations. Given the opportunity, they will
also have calfhood vaccinations for Brucellosis.
Horns: Every effort will be
made to distinguish horned from polled heifers before the sale. There is no
guarantee that those initially identified as polled will not develop scurs or
horns at a later date. No heifers will be dehorned prior to the sale
so that buyers can have heifers dehorned by their method of choice (cosmetic or
otherwise).
Viewing: All of the heifers can be viewed in the
pastures at Wayne Boozer's Farm near Douglass (Nacogdoches County), Texas.
Call 936.560.3483 or 936.569.4872 to set
up a time to view the heifers. We are very flexible in our scheduling and
look forward to showing you our cattle.
Delivery:
Heifers will be picked up or delivered at the buyers’ expense. We will keep the
heifers on their dams until contemporary group weaning weights are recorded (all
animals in group must be at least 160 days old). We plan to work and wean calves
at two different times: around July 4 for those calved by January 20 and around
September 1 for those calved after January 20. You can pick up your heifers
accordingly. Or, if you purchase a heifer that can be weaned at the early date
but prefer to leave her on the cow and pick her up at the second date, just let
us know.
Guarantee: Overfeeding show heifers is a common malady that
often negatively affects reproductive as well as milking performance. Therefore, heifers haltered and fed
high-energy feed for an extended period cannot be guaranteed to be
breeders.
Flush: The sellers reserve the right
to flush any heifer in the sale one time at the seller’s expense and the buyer’s
convenience.
Minimum prices
and sale order: We have provided the firm managing the internet auction
with minimum (starting) prices for the heifers. They say that their sale
procedures do not show the minimum prices until the bidding actually begins.
This will be very early on Saturday May 10. Click on this link to a list of minimum
prices
of the sale heifers. We reserve the option of
rearranging the sale order prior to the sale close out. We feel that this sale
procedure works best for the buyers if the most active lots
close out first. Please take the time
to read about the Sale Procedures at the link below. It will be an advantage to
learn about and utilize proxy bidding.
