Sale Procedure:
The sale order is determined by consignors drawing for a position in the
sale rotation. Each consignor selects those heifers to sell in each
rotation. Heifers are sold in uniform lots sorted according to breed
type, and size. All lots of heifers are expected to calve within a
45-day period. Heifers become the property of the buyer immediately
after the sale. Each animal will be at the buyers risk as soon as sold.
The consignor will aid in the loading of the cattle on instructions
from the buyer, but at the buyer's risk. No cattle will be loaded until
the conclusion of the sale. All financial transactions will be conducted
by the sale agent and are to be fully completed before loading.
Necessary health papers to go to any state will be available on all
heifers after the sale.
Guarantee:
All heifers are guaranteed bred and are guaranteed to remain pregnant
for 30 days from the sale date. Calving dates are approximate. Females
can range two weeks or more around a projected calving date even if they
were A.I. bred on the same day. The consignor will refund the purchase
price or replace the heifer with one of similar value if a heifer is
found to be open within 30 days of the sale by a veterinarian. All
guarantees are made by the consignor and not the Southwest Missouri Beef
Cattle Improvement Association or other organizations or individuals
involved in the sale. In case the buyer and seller are unable to reach
an agreement over a heifer, an arbitration committee can be asked to hear
both sides and render a decision.
Tags:
A special tag that carries the "Show-Me-Select"TM trademark and name
identifies all heifers in the sale. This tag signifies that the heifers
have met all the requirements of the Missouri "Show-Me-Select"TM
replacement heifer program.
