This auction has staggered ending times. The first item will close at 8:00 PM EDT Tuesday, March 30, 2010. Each item will close TWO MINUTES after the previous. For example: Lot 1 closes at 8:00 PM. Lot 2 closes at 8:02 PM. Lot 3 closes at 8:04 PM. This will continue until all items have closed. Also, note that extended bidding is still in place. Therefore, if Lot 1 goes into extended bidding, Lot 2 will still close at 8:02 PM and Lot 3 will still close at 8:04 PM, etc. (unless they also go into extended bidding) while Lot 1 is still in extended bidding. This scenario applies to all lots. With extended bidding in place no item will close until a period of 5 minutes has lapsed without a bid.

Maximum Bidding is a feature you may use during the duration of the auction. This feature allows you to place a private maximum bid that only you will know and allow the computer to bid on your behalf when another bidder places a bid on the same lot you are seeking. Visit the Online Auction Tips for more information.

All Embryo and Semen Packages will be your bid x the number in the package. Example $400 x 3 Embryos = $1200 final bid and auction price! When you submit your bid the extension number will multiply times the number in the package to create a total final auction price. This number will create your final invoice and sale price. Each lot will say in the notes selling 2,3,5 etc. Items selling with a RESERVE will have in the notes 'Selling with Reserve.' When reserve is met it will flash on the screen Reserve Has Been Met. The balance of the lots in the auction sell without reserve at or above the starting bid unless otherwise noted.

Note the Buyers Bonus in some lots as sellers offer incentives to buyers free with your purchase. The following terms apply to each lot unless otherwise stated under each individual lot.

Standard Breeding Guarantee and Genetic Defect Disclaimer
We require that each consignor agree to the "Standard Breeding Guarantee and Genetic Defect Policies" endorsed the American Hereford Association. Should a defective calf result, buyer is responsible for reporting the defect and following through each of the breed associations steps and protocol or other breed registry standards. If animal is verified to be defective by the Hereford Association, buyer must submit a written copy of the verification to the Seller, The Wendt Group, Inc. and BuyHereford.com within 30 days after birth. Seller is responsible for refunding the purchase price in total or making an adjustment to the purchase price. This guarantee applies only to calves at birth that show signs of a genetic defect recognized by the breed association as there is not a test to determine if some genetic lines are carriers for a defect but do not show signs as an individual at birth. Unless an animal is listed on the individual breed association "genetic defect status list" the breed, breeder, and BuyHereford.com makes no representation of any kind as to whether an animal has a genetic defect. Consult with each breed association for more information. All transactions are between buyer and seller.
