- LIABILITY -
Owners, their agents, or anyone associated with the conduction of this sale will
not be held responsible for any personal injury, loss, or accident while traveling
to or from or while attending this sale.
- REGISTRATION CERTIFICATES -
Registration certificates on all registered cattle will be transferred to the buyer at no additional expense to the buyer. Remember that EPD’s update every six months and may change.
- '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 price. 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 to place the opening bid. If any animals remain unsold in a pen, then we "pass the pen" and any remaining animals are available at the "opening bid price" at the settlement table on a first come first serve basis. Any remaining animals will be priced based on quality. None will be priced below their opening bid price.
