Page 5 - Red Hill Farms Annual Bull Sale – March 18, 2023

Sale Information Red Hill Farms – 2023
VETERINARIAN: Roger Thomas, DVM, Thomas and England Veterinary Services,
(270-563-0011). Contact Dr. Thomas for any questions regarding Red Hill Farms’ herd
health or breeding soundness exams of the sale bulls.
FERTILITY/DISPOSITION GUARANTEE: We guarantee the fertility and disposition of
every bull selling. All bulls sell with a breeding soundness exam (BSE) certificate. Each
bull is guaranteed to be a satisfactory breeder; assuming the buyer provides acceptable
nutrition, health and management.

• If a bull proves to be a non-breeder, the buyer must contact Bart Jones or Sarah Jones
on or before January 15, 2024, to make a claim.
• Red Hill Farms reserves the right to request a statement from a veterinarian and/or the
bull being returned to Red Hill Farms at the buyer’s expense.
• If proper claim is made, the buyer will be given full credit if the bull is returned, OR full
credit minus salvage value if the bull was sold with the credit to be used in a future Red
Hill Farms sale.
GENOMIC ENHANCED EPDS: Bulls that have genomic enhanced
EPDs are designated in the catalog with a logo.Most of the bulls selling
have been genomically enhanced. DNA markers provide molecular
breeding values which are used to enhance the EPDs and improve the
accuracy of the EPDs. This is particularly important because the EPDs on these bulls are
much more accurate than prior to the use of these DNA values. These enhanced EPDs
now have the same meaning as data for bulls that have several progeny records.
SALE PROCEDURES: We will conduct a “Farmers’ Auction” to sell each individual lot.
Cattle sell in catalog order. Each animal has a base price listed in the catalog. When it
is time to sell a particular animal, we will ask those interested to hold up their buyer
number. If only one number is in the air, the animal will be sold at the base price to that
individual. If there are multiple numbers in the air, we will gradually raise the price until
one number remains. If there is a tie (last two bidders drop out at the same time), the
bid is given to the buyer with the lower buyer number. The other bidder may raise the bid
by $250 if he wishes to stay in the auction. We intend for this to be a simple, low-pres-
sure sale for the benefit of all involved.
HEALTH: All cattle are vaccinated using Merck vaccines. Please contact us with any health
questions.
