Herd Health
All sale cattle are in excellent health and have been poured with
Ivomec. The coming two year old bulls are virgins, have been
semen tested and scrotal measured. The bred heifers have had
all pre-breeding shots as well as two scour (guardian) shots.
They were ultrasounded and have been reexamined to be safe in
calf. DeRouchey Vet Clinic, Miller will handle all health require-
ments on the cattle.
Breeding Guarantees
All bulls will be guaranteed through first 60 day breeding season.
In the event, an animal fails to breed, a suitable replacement will
be made or credit will be given in the next sale. The bred heifers
are safe in calf and thus will be considered a breeder at time of
sale, no further guarantee will apply.
