The entire herd is on a complete vaccination program for 7-way clostridium, IBR-BVD-BRSV-PI3, Hamophilus Somnuns, Pasturella, Leptospirosis and Vibriosis.  All females are calfhood vaccinated for brucellosis.  All animals are treated twice annually with dewormer pour-on.  Every bull has passed a breeding soundness exam and semen test.  All bulls tested BVD PI free.  All Bulls are AM & NH free by pedigree or DNA test.

All Simmental and SimAngus bulls are homozygous black.  Several years ago we tested all our cows and have tested all subsequent offspring until we have only homozygous black females and use only homozygous black sires.

Semen Interest:
McDonald Farms will retain 1/2 interest in the semen rights on all bulls.  This in actuality will effect very few bulls.

We will collect bulls at our expense and the buyers convenience.  The buyer has 100% possession and 100% salvage value.

"PICK OF THE PEN" Sale Procedure
All cattle will be uniformly grouped in pens of approximately 4-8 head per pen. The sale cattle will remain in the pens throughout the sale or until ready for loading out. The auction will be conducted inside the shop, but there is no sale ring and no cattle will be brought inside. Each pen will be assigned a very conservative opening bid. We will auction the cattle on pen at a time. In order to start the bidding on a pen, someone must offer the opening bid price and then we auction to the highest bidder, who then has the option of selecting which or however many they desire from that pen at the winning bid price. We continue this procedure until the pen is empty or no one wants the opening bid. If any animals remain unsold in a pen, then we "Pass the Pen" and any remaining animals are availabe at the "opening bid price" at the settlement table on a first come first serve basis. Any remaing animals will be priced based on quality. None will be priced below their opening bid price.
