1. The Stallion Service Fee and lab fee must be paid in full prior to shipment. Payment is U.S. funds, credit card, certified or cashier's check only. The stallion service fee will be evidenced by signature on the attached Breeding Contract. The lab fee shall be $225 per shipment. The lab fee includes semen collection/packaging, Fed Ex Overnight delivery and a bio-flite disposable container. If a hard-shelled container is used, there will be a $250 deposit (credit card guarantee). There will be a $25 per day penalty charged for late returns. If shipment by counter to counter air transport is required, there will be an additional $100 charge. All hard-shelled containers must be returned at Mare Owner's expense within 4 days.

2. Mare owners shall receive up to three (3) shipments of cooled semen for the listed stallion service fee. Breeder's responsibility is to ship semen in viable condition to the mare owner. The mare must be inseminated within the time criteria designated by the breed association by a licensed veterinarian or technician. The semen may be used for the designated mare only. No semen will be shipped after June 17th unless special arrangements are made.

3. Stallion has been DNA typed. The semen has been analyzed and tested and is free from infectious disease. Sperm count, motility, collection and packaging procedures meet &/or exceed industry standards.

4. Request for semen must be received by 6 p.m. the night prior to shipping, and only for a regularly scheduled breeding day.

Orders not placed by 6 p.m. will be subject to an additional $25 service charge if accepted and filled. Saturday and Sunday shipments are available only by special arrangement and are subject to scheduling availability. Add $15 fee for Saturday deliveries. All requests for semen shipments shall be filled as received, subject to availability. If there is insufficient semen to fill all orders on a given day, the farm veterinarian will determine which orders are to be honored. This decision will be based on information provided by the purchaser's veterinarian.
