[QUOTE="preston39, post: 146932, member: 1487"] cypress...., Retaining 1/2 interest and full possession is rather standard. It usually comes into play when pre-evaluations strongly suggest that the animal has the POTENTIAL to become popular. How many times have you seen that pre-condition in place during the sale of a pure breed at a local salebarn? I haven't. Years ago when getting involved with the purebreeds I somewhat resented the desire for retention. Then I got to thinking ...it may be a plus for me in that anything I missed in my evaluation of the purchase was somewhat overridden by a more experienced breeder because he saw something that looked good. Then I turned my attention to the principal of...is the purchase with the 1/2 interest retention worth the money? A principal we apply each time we make a purchase notwithsanding the little bother involved in collecting semen. That can be controlled..after all the bull is not really needed in off season breedng times..so let him work. No interference...and they must feed and care for him during the time being collected. I do insist on knowing the enviroment he is going into and how he is to get there and back. After all it's my investment. On one occasion we refused to allow a bull to be collected at an environment that we thought to be less than ok. We had no problem the seller found another source. Full possession carries a big stick! [/QUOTE]
