Over the last couple of months, I've been getting every sale catalog that I could, even breeds that I might not be interested in, so that I could get a better grasp on these big time bull auctions.
Previously, we've always bought bulls private treaty.
My concern is that in a little less than half of the farm catalogs, the fine print in front states that the seller has the right to collect semen in the future if they so desire.
My guess is that they do this in case the bull you/me buy from them turns out to be a big money bull. This way they could get some of that big money.
I have to admit that I don't like the thought of me paying a large amount of money for a bull, taking care of it, and having someone call me to tell me that they want semen.
Is this standard in the big time bull industry?
I'd like some comments, because right now, I'm leaning torwards just not considering purchasing from these sellers.
