Availability
Most
of our Longhorns are for sale. Some of our foundation stock are
essential in our breeding program, so we must retain certain animals
in order to reach our goals. If you are interested in an animal
that is not listed in the “Sale Pen”, contact us for
availability and pricing.
Pricing
All
sale and lease quotes are good for 30 days. We may change our
prices at any time and without notice due to market prices or
the breeding or calving status of a cow/heifer. We reserve the
right to withdraw any animal from sale or lease availability,
as long as there is not a contract pending on that animal.
Payment Methods
Full
payment is required at the time of purchase, unless prior lay-away
arrangements are made. Payment can be made by cash, cashier's
check or personal check. Wire transfers can also be arranged.
Pickup or delivery of the animal cannot be completed until payment
has cleared.
All checks should be made payable to: Gail Kocian
Possession of Animal
Upon
completion of all purchase transactions, the Buyer will assume
possession of the animal. The New Owner assumes sole risk and
responsibility for the animal. Pickup or delivery of the animal
will be required within 2 weeks. However, unforeseen circumstances
may delay this process, so each situation will be handled on an
individual basis. Should the buyer want to delay the pick-up of
the animal, boarding fees will incur.
Boarding Fees
Boarding
fees fluctuate depending on the price of feed and our pasture
conditions. Please contact us for current boarding rates if you don't plan to pick up or have us deliver your purchase(s) within 2 weeks.
Registration
We
are members of both the Texas Longhorn Breeders Association of
America (TLBAA) and the International Texas Longhorn Association
(ITLA). Upon final payment of your purchase, the transfer application
will be sent to the association of your choice. As responsible
sellers, we pay for all registration and transfer paperwork.
Health of Our Cattle
Healthy
cattle are easier to maintain, utilize their feed better, are
more resistant to diseases and have fewer reproduction problems.
Our cattle are vaccinated routinely for blackleg and lepto/vibrio,
are wormed several times a year and are kept free of horn flies.
Heifers receive their brucellosis vaccination…OCV (official
calfhood vaccination)…before the age of 10 months.
Branding
All
weaned calves are branded with our holding brand and a private herd
number before leaving the ranch. Young calves sold at side with
their dams are not branded.
