3 About the bulls... The yearling bulls are solid from top to bottom and are as an impressive set of bulls that have ever come out of our program. Whether used in a purebred operation or to bring performance and muscle on an English based herd, these bulls will fill the ticket. Several heifer bulls with low birth weight are in the offering as well. We will keep the yearling bulls until April 10 free of charge so that we can have them semen tested and vaccinated twice for foot rot prevention. If you would like to take your yearling bull after the sale, we strongly recommend you have him fertility tested before being turned out. The two-year-old and fall bulls were semen tested Jan. 4, 2012 and poured again then as well. A few of the two-yearold bulls that are not virgin bulls have been Trichomoniasis tested and are ready to go. We will start delivering these older bulls Mar. 1. Several of these bulls go back to purebred unregistered Limousin bulls we were using on commercial cows back in the 1980 s. Therefore, some of the bulls will be registered as percentage bulls though they are purebred Limousin in blood. Be sure to ask if you have a question regarding this. This year we had DV Auction video the bulls Dec. 27, You can view a video of each bull on our website, or at All the bulls will have ultrasound data, yearling weights, scrotal measurements and frame scores by sale day. Watch our website and limousinlive.com for this supplement data as it comes in. If you have an opportunity, we encourage you to stop in anytime and see the bulls at home in their own environment before the sale. Give us a call if we can be of any help. New this year is the addition of a calving ease score based on a combination of pedigree,, and calving history from sire and dam. E - Recommended for cows only EE - Should work on cows or heifers EEE - A good choice for breeding heifers Dear Cattlemen, Welcome to our inaugural sale. After selling bulls privately for 20+ years, we decided it was time to bring them through the ring and let you, our preferred customers, appraise them. The number of the bulls is small, but the quality runs deep. You will notice as you browse through our catalog, we put a lot of emphasis on cow families because we truly believe that behind every good bull there is a greater cow. Our whole herd goes back to a handful of cow families that represent most of the offering in the sale. After almost 30 years, we are still very passionate about this breed of cattle. Whether it s from the purebred side or the commercial end, Limousin has a lot to offer. Yield grade, efficiency, muscle, calving ease and of course the under recognized Limousin cross cow are just a few of the attributes that makes this breed of cattle right for the times. We ve tried every avenue to present the bull through pictures, videos, performance data, ultrasound scans, measurements, and visual appraisals. If you can t make it to the sale, some very competent sales staff will be available to assist you or call myself and I will help any way I can. If the bull doesn t meet your standards when you see him, you will be totally refunded. Come early on sale day. We will have coffee and donuts followed by lunch at 11:30. To all of you who have supported our program in the past and to those we plan to meet on Feb. 11, a special THANK YOU! Glenn And remember, support your breed, buy registered bulls.

What we found were some great cattle backed by some outstanding Limousin breeders passionate about their cattle. After much research, thought, and shaking out the piggy banks, we settled on this highly sought after yearling bull from the renowned Richmond Ranch in Alberta. This royally bred bull went on to be their high-selling bull as well as the high-selling bull in Canada in This tremendously deep, easy-fleshing, big-quartered bull with awesome performance fits what our program is all about, and he is as gentle as a kitten. On top of being homozygous polled, Xander is also homozygous for the Leptin gene, which indicates high marbling. We are very impressed with his young dam as she consistently produces powerhouses such as Xander while shortening her calving interval each year! We expect great things from this bull and anxiously await his first calves this spring! Semen available through Limi-Gene and Treftz Limousin.

5 The Working Moms! Behind every great bull, there s a great cow. Working behind the scenes at Treftz Limousin are the working moms. Their everyday job is simple, yet demanding. Bring home a big calf every fall, be bred to calve early the next spring, and maintain optimum condition doing all this on grass and hay alone. TREF 30J TREF 897M TREF 800M TREF 98N TREF 770W Uniformity. Treftz Limousin cows are high capacity, deep-ribbed, easy-fleshing, fertile females with an abundance of milk and a nice calm disposition. Efficiency. Years of selection pressure producing easy-fleshing, moderateframed females that can cope with fluctuating nutritional conditions and still be highly productive.

Further, each critter carries a wonderful disposition. Treftz Limousin cattle are the type and kind that are easy to get along with! Andy Peterson, Founder of Limousin Live, Osceola, WI Predictability. The cow herd is backed up by generations of strong cow families that have all been born and raised in our program. We are proud that every Limousin female in the Treftz herd carries the TREF prefix in her left ear. The TZ brand on her right hip signifies our stamp of quality.

18 North American Limousin Foundation (NALF) Suggested Sale Terms & Conditions Identification of Animals 1. Each animal sold will have a readable tattoo corresponding to its registration paper. 2. Seller agrees to check all tattoos for accuracy prior to the sale. The buyer has the responsibility for rechecking the tattoos after taking possession and reporting any discrepancies to the seller immediately. 3. All animals to be sold will be identified by their official registration numbers, their tattoos and their registered names. If nicknames are used, they should be in addition to the other information. 4. The NALF Board of Directors recommends that, when any animal is sold, there is complete disclosure of any retained genetics in the form of pregnant recipients, frozen embryos or frozen semen.. The prefix in an animal s registration name cannot be removed or changed by subsequent owners. Owners other than the original applicant cannot add a two-, three- or four-letter prefix to the name of the animal unless it matches the prefix in the animal s tattoo. Registration Certificates 1. The seller of the animal will submit the original registration certificate with transfer information or an application for registration with transfer information on it so that a certificate can be produced by NALF and transferred to the new buyer. The seller must sign the back of the certificate on the application to authorize the transfer. 2. It is the responsibility of the seller to provide NALF with the buyer s complete name, address and membership number (if available) so the transfer can be completed. It is important that the membership number be given if the buyer is already a member of NALF. 3. It is the seller s responsibility to provide the registration certificate or application and transfer information to NALF within 60 days following the date of sale and pay transfer and registration fees. Terms Terms of all sales are considered to be cash unless credit arrangements have been made prior to the sale between the buyer and the seller. Health 1. On all animals sold, health tests will be announced at the sale or printed in the sale catalog. It is understood that health papers reflect the condition of the animal at the time of the sale but carry no further guarantee as to the future health of the animal. 2. Buyers having special health requests or who wish to take cattle into states with specific and rigid health regulations should inquire specifically about the health tests required for entry into their state prior to the sale. 3. All females sold are considered to be calfhood vaccinated for brucellosis unless they are otherwise stated in the catalog or announced from the block. It is suggested that verification of vaccination be written on the health certificate. Purchaser s Risk Each animal becomes the risk of the purchaser as soon as it is sold. It is the responsibility of the buyers to see that their purchases are fed and cared for following the sale. It is the responsibility of the buyers to arrange all trucking for their purchases. Announcements Any change from the information that is printed in the catalog will be announced from the auction block. All announcements made from the auction block take precedence over the printed catalog. Cataloged lots not selling will be announced prior to the sale or printed on a current supplement sheet. Breeding Guarantee 1. All animals are guaranteed to be breeders with the exception of (a) calves under 12 months of age; (b) in the event of any injury or disease that occurs to the calf after sale; (c) gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the purchaser; or (d) females used in embryo transplant/transfer (ET). 2. A lactating cow with calf at side, sold as one unit, is a proven breeder, as indicated by the calf at side. 3. Bulls are guaranteed to be breeders at the time of sale or at 14 months of age if they are younger than 14 months at time of sale. Any bull that either settles cows by natural service or passes a fertility test made by a competent veterinarian is considered fertile. Any guarantee with respect to the ability to freeze semen shall be a separate agreement between buyer and seller. 4. Females sold as safe in calf have been examined by a competent veterinarian or other reproductive technician and are so guaranteed to be with calf. It is the buyer s responsibility to pregnancy-check all females and report any discrepancies within 30 days following the sale.. Any guarantee with respect to ET production shall be a separate agreement between buyer and seller. Options and Privileges of Return or Adjustment 1. All claims for adjustments or refunds must be made in writing either within six months of the date of the sale or no later than six months after the animal reaches 18 months of age, whichever occurs later. 2. In the event that an animal is claimed to be a nonbreeder, the animal must be returned to the farm of the seller in good condition and must have met the health requirements of the original seller s state. The seller shall be entitled to six months trial following the return of the animal in which to prove that the animal is a breeder. If, at the end of six months, the seller has been unable to prove the animal as a breeder, the seller shall, at the option of the buyer, replace the animal with another of equal value or refund the total purchase price. The return of the purchase price shall in all cases be deemed as full settlement. 3. Any expense incurred in transporting the animal that is claimed to be a nonbreeder shall be the responsibility of the purchaser except that the seller shall be responsible for transportation costs in the excess of the distance between the purchaser s farm and the location of the sale. If the seller proves the animal to be a breeder, it shall be the obligation of the purchaser to take 18 delivery of the animal and pay all expenses incurred for transportation. 4. It is the obligation of the buyer and seller to negotiate any settlements on cattle that have not been properly represented at a sale. The selling of an animal constitutes a contract between buyer and seller, and it is not the responsibility nor the right of NALF or of the sale-management firm to settle disagreements between buyers and sellers of cattle that have not been properly represented. The return of an animal at the expense of the purchaser with a refund of the purchase price made by the seller is in all cases considered a complete settlement. Other settlements, which are negotiated between buyer and seller, may be equitable to cover instances in which cattle are not as represented sale day, but that does not warrant complete return of the animal. Blood-Typing for Parentage Verification 1. If, at some time, the purchaser raises a question as to the accurate parentage of an animal he has purchased, it may be settled by blood-typing. Blood samples will be taken by a licensed veterinarian of the animal in question and of its sire and dam if they are not currently on file. The verification of the parentage test will be made by NALF s approved laboratory (MMI Genomics). The results of these tests will be sent directly to NALF and will be sent on to both the purchaser and the seller so they will be aware of the official results. 2. If the blood tests indicate that the animal is not as it was registered originally, the seller will reimburse the buyer for the test and will refund the total purchase price of the animal or replace the animal with another of equal quality and value as determined by the purchaser. 3. It is important to remember that blood-typing is not 100 percent exclusive and that it simply identifies animals that will qualify as the parents or animals that cannot be the parents. 4. All bulls born after December 31, 1990, that are to be used for artificial insemination (AI) must be parent-verified by blood-typing (both the sire and dam). All females born after July 1, 1987, that are to be used for ET and all bulls born between July 1, 1987, and December 31, 1990, that are to be used for AI must be sire-verified through blood-typing. All females born prior to July 1, 1987, that are to be used for ET and all bulls born prior to July 1, 1987, that are to be used for AI must have an identification blood type on file. Horned/Scurred/Polled Definitions 1. HORNED An animal with a horn growth affixed to the skull that has or has not been removed. 2. POLLED/URRED An animal with rudimentary horn growth that will not develop into a horn. The rudimentary horn growth may or may not become affixed to the skull at an older age. 3. POLLED An animal with absence of horn growth. (An animal can have scurs and still be genetically polled.) 4. SMOOTH POLLED A smooth-polled individual has no scurs and does not develop scurs later in life. Guarantees 1. If an animal is sold as polled or polled/scurred and proves to be horned, the seller shall be obligated to refund the purchase price upon return of the animal to the farm of the seller at the expense of the seller or may be exchanged for a polled animal of equal value, whichever is acceptable to the buyer. The buyer has 30 days from date of sale to notify the seller that an adjustment is in order. 2. If an animal is sold as smooth-polled and proves to be scurred, the seller shall be obligated to refund the price upon return of the animal to the farm of the seller at the expense of the seller or, at the buyer s option, shall be exchanged for a smooth-polled animal of equal value. 3. If an animal is sold as polled and develops scurs, the seller will not be obligated to make any adjustment because a scurred animal is considered polled. 4. If an animal is sold as polled and has scurs, it shall be announced at the time of sale that the animal has scurs. If it is not announced and the buyer finds before the animal leaves the sale premises that the animal has scurs, the buyer must notify the seller of the findings. The seller shall then be obligated to refund the purchase price. Disclosure of Retained Genetics Because the sale of a registered Limousin animal constitutes the transfer of ownership of all, or a portion of, a genetic package, it is the sellers responsibility to inform potential buyers of all retained genetics of animals in circumstances where potential exists for buyers to be mislead. This includes, but is not limited to, semen collected and frozen prior to sale, embryos flushed, existing clones as either live animals or embryos, and cows carrying the service of an offered bull. Disclosure of Tests Results for Known Genetic Defects & Factors 1. The seller shall have an affirmative duty to notify the buyer of any test results for genetic defects or genetic factors not otherwise reflected on an animal s pedigree. 2. Nothing contained herein should be construed to relieve the parties from complying fully with the rules and policies of NALF relating to genetic defects generally or individually. Limitations of Obligations 1. If these suggested terms and conditions are adopted, they should constitute a contract between the buyer and seller for each animal sold under these terms, as such; and it should be binding upon both parties. Animals resold following purchase in a sale shall constitute a separate transaction, and the privileges and obligations of the original two parties connected thereto are not covered by the terms and conditions of sale. 2. NALF, its directors and employees are not in any way responsible or liable for enforcing the suggested terms and conditions of any agreement involving transactions between buyers and sellers.
