OWNERSHIP - We are selling full possession, full salvage value and 1/2 revenue-
sharing semen interest in every bull in this sale This means the bull is totally in your
control in how you want to handle him plus you get 100% of the salvage value of
the bull. We are retaining 1/2 revenue-sharing semen interest in every bull in
this sale This simply gives us the right to half of the semen sales revenue from
the bull if at some time in the future, semen sales become a possibility If you
sell the bull to anyone else, R A Brown Ranch retains our semen interest If
you wish to buy a bull in this sale and would prefer that we did not retain a
semen interest, then please talk with us about it prior to the sale and we will
consider selling the bull(s) to you without us retaining an interest and make
that agreement in writing prior to the sale The buyer may elect to purchase
as much additional semen interest as you desire by paying the additional
pro-rated amount. For example you can purchase 2/3 or 3/4 semen interest
by paying an additional 343% or 50% of the final bid price respectively.
If a buyer is not interested in marketing the semen from a bull then R A Brown
Ranch has the right to collect a semen bank on the bull at our cost and the buyer’s
convenience This That semen bank would be 100% owned by the R A Brown
Ranch for our use or marketing
EXCLUSIVE SEMEN MARKETING RIGHTS - The buyer may elect to purchase
exclusive semen marketing rights on any bull in this sale by paying double the final bid
price on the bull at the time of the sale In the event that the buyer elects to purchase
exclusive semen marketing rights, then R.A. Brown Ranch retains the right of first refusal
on the purchase of natural service rights of the bull if the original buyer decides to sell the
natural service rights and or possession of the bull anytime during his lifetime
REALISTICALLY SPEAKING - It is unlikely that large amounts of semen will be sold
from very many bulls However, the reason we are keeping an interest in every bull, is that
we want to keep it simple and we have great bulls scattered throughout the sale The bulls
that do develop a market for large amounts of semen can be very financially rewarding;
therefore, as a breeder of some of the best seedstock in the industry, we want to share with
you in these bulls Even bulls sold to commercial herds may become popular at a later
time, especially if carcass data is collected on their calves We want to be a great partner
with you
SEMEN RIGHTS - Buyers receive semen rights proportional to the interest
purchased. Therefore if you purchase a 1/2 revenue-sharing semen interest then you
are entitled to 1/2 of the semen collections at cost provided that you indicate that
you want semen prior to collection If you choose to collect semen from one of
these bulls as an “insurance policy” for your own use, that semen is 100% yours,
but before any semen is collected on any bull in this sale, R A Brown Ranch must
be notified.

Again this year we have several bulls in the sale from cooperating herds We have hand selected these
herds to help us increase the number of bulls in our sale while maintaining the strong quality we demand
in our breeding program. These herds are similar to ours in 1)the strength of their genetics, 2)the
strictness of their herd health program and 3)the integrity of the data reported. These bulls come with
the same breeding guarantee and customer service you have come to expect from the R A Brown
Ranch If you have trouble with one of our bulls, then let us know here at the Brown Ranch because
we handle all of the customer service All of these bulls came here after weaning to be grown and developed
with our bulls under the same management program. You can buy these bulls with confidence. The bulls are denoted with
the following herd codes including the RAB and BFG for bulls raised here in our own program One of the blessings that has
developed from this aspect of our business is the relationships we have developed with these fine people.
