Bull Calf
Bring heritage and calving ease to your herd with this traditional type Highland bull calf.
Merrick’s pedigree offers direct Scottish import genetics on the dam side and old-school
proven Canadian and US genetics on his sire side. Where else can you find Ben Eniglair
of Scone Palace, Yarnelle Farms Betula, Glen Osprey Farms, Cape St. Mary’s Fold, EZ
Acres and Pitcher Mountain cattle all in the same pedigree in the first few generations?
His father, Taunton Maddock, is a phenomenal proven heifer bull with a moderate frame.
Maddock’s calves are strong and smart at birth. We expect Merrick to follow in his
father’s footsteps. Anyone who meets his dam, Summit Ranch Gretta, instantly adores
her as she is a gem for personality and gentleness. Gretta was shown as a youngster by
juniors and always placed very well. Don’t miss out on this exciting opportunity!

EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, AS TO THE MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE WITH RESPECT TO
THE CATTLE BEING SOLD. Care of Animals Pending Pick-Up - Seller will provide feed and care for the cattle until they are loaded for transport.
If Buyers do not pick up their cattle immediately after they are paid for and released by Buffalo Livestock Marketing (the “Sale Barn”), OR make
arrangements with the Sale Barn to keep cattle there until prompt pick-up, all cattle will be transported back to Highland Spice after the auction
to await pick-up. If you are not present in person at the sale and you do not want your cattle transported back to Highland Spice after the sale,
you must notify Angie by phone or text immediately after the sale.

remain at Highland Spice after December 31, 2023 unless arrangements are made with Highland Spice for later pickup.
Delivery - Highland Spice will transport cattle at no charge to the following “hubs” to meet buyers or transporters on mutually agreed

Health/Vaccinations - All animals are eligible for interstate shipment within the USA. Canadian buyers, please allow three weeks
for export paperwork and testing to be completed. All calves will have received two rounds of Pyramid 5 + Presponse and Vision 7 Somnus by sale
time and have been vaccinated for pink eye. Calves will be wormed, given Nasalgen 3+pmh and Endovac within three weeks of the sale. Bred
females were given Virashield 6 VL+ in the Spring of 2023. All cattle are BVD-PI tested free. All females over one year of age have been vaccinated
for brucellosis “Bangs Vaccinated.” Bred females have been confirmed pregnant unless announced otherwise at time of sale.
Feed - All calves will be weaned onto a 14 percent high-fiber pellet and free choice hay to help with the transition from milk to hay and assist
with rumen development. We typically feed 2-3 pounds per calf per day from about a week prior to weaning, through the winter. They can
transition onto any program from this weaning regimen very easily.
Premium Females - We have designated four females in our sale as “premium females.” Taking nothing away from the other
cattle for sale, these are our “breeder’s pick” females that we think can compete with the best Highlands anywhere. These females qualify for our
“Golden Ticket Buyer’s Appreciation Credit” issued to our past auction semen purchasers. Golden Tickets are personal to the holder and must be
presented at the time payment.
Retained Embryo Interest - Highland Spice retains a 50 percent embryo interest on Lots 1-12. These females may not be
flushed/aspirated until they have had one natural born calf. No more than eight (8) embryos shall be recovered from any of these females by any
party, ever, unless the number of embryos recovered from two flushes/aspirations exceeds eight (8) embryos.
Announcements - Announcements from the auction block shall take precedence over the sale catalog and any additional printed
information regarding animal(s) sold.
Liability - Everyone attending the sale does so at his or her own risk.
