delivery is made to your area, usually within a few weeks of

solidate trips. If you are unable to receive bulls when delivery

free anywhere in the continental U.S. with a $4,000 or more
purchase and can be arranged by the Yons.
If you pick up
your bull at the farm, deduct $75 off the purchase price.

Bulls will be fed and cared for free of charge for 2 weeks fol-
lowing the sale and will be housed at a rate of $2.75 per day
thereafter until you are ready to pick up your bull. Insurance
will be available for cattle on sale day.
6. All bulls sell satisfaction guaranteed. For one year following the
date of sale, if a buyer is not satisfied for any legitimate rea-
son, he is entitled to a credit, refund or replacement, provided
the animal has been properly cared for.
7. Yon Family Farms is a Brucellosis certified and TB accredited
herd, and has been Johne’s testing for 13 years (level JPL4).
Bulls are ear notched and tested for PI-BVD. Health papers for
shipment anywhere in the U.S. will be available.
