With regard to "Bio-Security",

give their customers greater "piece if mind" concerning health
protocol |
|
|
All sheep are slick shorn so "What you see is what you
get". This year lambs will be shown two week before and not washed,
to help reduce stress when lambs make the long trip to their new
home. |
|
|
Sale Sheep are presented loose in pens on barley straw and there are
no ramps or racks, helping to eliminate the surprise when the newly
purchased animals arrive home. |
|
|
Every sheep is fed the morning of the sale, which helps to reduce
stress and allows the lambs to look natural. |
|
|
With every 1-2 lambs purchased buyers will receive a 50 lb bag of feed,
which allows the lambs a healthier adjustment to their new location. |
|
|
The day of their sale the entire ewe base and ram battery is on
display for prospective buyers to observe. They feel you should
never buy a ram without seeing its mother. |
|
|
The day of their sale all prospective buyers will have in hand a sale catalog filled with
volumes of information ranging from two generation pedigrees for dam and sire of each lamb
to REA & BF scan data, codon test results, adjusted weaning
weights plus much much more. |
|
|
All sheep offered for sale are started at a reasonable floor bid,
and there will be no running of bids. |
|
|
Any lamb purchased may be left at their farm until June 1st. They stand
full risk and expense should anything happen. |
|
|
Their guarantee is that should you have any problems with stock
purchased from their offering, they would like to be the first to know.
They have traditionally tried to share in buyer's losses that may be
considered their responsibility. Repeat business is built on "standing
behind your product". |
|
|
Every buyer receives a "Kimm Suffolks - Home of Balanced
Genetics" baseball cap or t-shirt when they settle up after the sale. |
|
|
A complementary meal of brats, chips, brownies and soft drinks will
be served from 4:30 - 6:00 pm prior to the sale. |
|
|
Three weeks before the sale they will put a preliminary catalog on
line at this web site. |
|
|
They always welcome visitors prior to the sale to view the offering,
however NO SHEEP will be sold before the sale. The lambs will be shorn
one week in advance of the sale day. |
|
|
Approximately two weeks before the sale the entire sale consignment
will be pictured on their web site. |
|
|
They will be glad to work with anyone concerning mail bids and
promise to handle them just as if you were there in person. |
|
|
They will be happy to make deliveries to the Des Moines Sales or to
Sedalia, MO, National Suffolk Show and Sale, OH at no cost, pending
justifiable numbers are headed East. |
|
|
| The prices paid for sheep at the Kimm's sale are established by buyers
bidding at their auction. This is the fairest way they know to establish the worth
of an animal. |
