Quiet Auction:
Our intent of going to a Quiet Auction is to provide a low stress environment for our customers to have an equal opportunity to purchase British White Cattle. What is a Quiet Auction? A Quiet Auction is a sale without an auctioneer’s chant. Our Sale Referee,  will accept bids and will have the last word on whose bid is the final bid. A minimum price will be set for each animal to be sold and the referee will call out the bid in increments of $50 until the animal is sold. The animals will be sold from their pens rather than in an auction ring.

Quiet Auction Procedures:
The minimum price for each animal will be posted at the pen along with his or her tag number. A sign up card for each animal will be used for customers to designate which animals they have an interest in buying.  Signing on the card represents the buyer's interest, but not obligation, to purchase the animal.  The first person to sign the card has the opportunity to buy the animal for the base price.  Sale order (beginning with heifers) will be determined by the animal with the most buyers expressing interest in the animal. Between the selling of each animal there will be a brief opportunity for any buyer to sign up for another animal. Sale Referee, Norm Andrews, will settle all questions and disputes.

Absentee Buyers:
Buyers unable to attend the sale but who would still like to be able to bid on a certain animal may place bids with any representative of Bohaty Farms. Purchases must be paid for within ten (10) days of the sale or before the animals leave the premises, whichever occurs first. We can help you find transportation for your animals.

Terms: Terms of the sale are cash. All settlements are to be made with the clerks immediately following the conclusion of the sale and before any cattle will be released from the premises.

Health: All animals are eligible for interstate shipment, except as otherwise announced, and health papers will be furnished for each animal of age as required. If your state has unusual or stricter requirements, health papers will be arranged and may not be available on sale day.

Registration Certificates: A certificate of registry and transfer will be furnished for each animal at no cost to the Buyer within forty-five (45) days after settlement of animals purchased or receipt of full payment. This includes suckling calves. Purchaser must inform the clerks as to how they want the animals registered.

Handling and Risk: Each animal will be at Purchaser’s risk as soon as sold. Loading assistance will be provided after the sale and settlement has been made. It shall be the responsibility of the seller to see that animals are properly cared for free of charge to the buyer until delivered to him or until the expiration of 24 hours after the sale, whichever occurs first. If additional time is needed buyer must make arrangements with Bohaty Farms for care of the cattle.

Inspection Of Cattle: Cattle will be penned at the sale site by April 13, 2012 and may be inspected at your convenience. Contact Walter or Nancy Bohaty to make arrangements for earlier inspection of the cattle.

Breeding Guarantee: All animals sold in the sale are guaranteed to be breeders provided they are properly handled and cared for. If the animal fails to breed, the seller must be notified in writing within one year. The seller will have the option of breeding the animal in question for six months or making other arrangements. All suckling calves are given free with the purchase of their dam and no guarantees of any kind applies to suckling calves.
