Terms and Conditions
1.
Terms of Sale:
Cash. Each animal sold to the highest bidder.
The auctioneer will settle any disputes as to bids. All transactions
will be in U.S. dollars. All cattle are to be paid for by the purchaser
during or immediately after the sale and will not be released until
after settlement has been made, unless other arrangements have
been made through the owners or the sale manager. Cattle will not
be transferred until paid in full.
2.
Announcements:
All announcements at the sale by the owners
or the auctioneer concerning the cattle will take precedence over
statements in the sale catalog. We reserve the right to withdraw
any sale lot not meeting our specifications prior to sale time.
3.
Mail or Phone Bids:
If you would like to place a bid on any lot
but will not be able to be with us, we would be happy to handle mail
or phone bids for you. Please direct them to the owners, the sale
manager of any of the sale staff.
4.

All cattle selling will have interstate health papers
required for shipping into other sections of the United States. All

be at the purchaser’s risk immediately after it is sold.

Guarantee:
The cattle offered for sale are sold under the terms
and guarantees recommended by the American Hereford
Association.

Registration Certificates
: The animals will be transferred to the
buyer at the seller’s expense. Each buyer must be sure to give the
clerk his proper name and address for making transfers. All calves
born before the sale are to be registered by the seller; all born after
the sale are to be registered by the purchaser. For animals bred to
AI sires not owned by the seller that have not calved by the sale
date, the buyer is responsible for purchasing the AI certificate.
Proper breeding statements will be signed by the seller for the
buyer to use in registering calves born after the sale.

As the sale manager, the Illinois Polled Hereford
