Fees and Marketing Policy

---

• Print/Deposit fee (per buck): $100 due in advance, $25 applied to processing fees
• Processed semen: $5.00 per straw(30 straw minimum, then increments of 10)
• Straw printing for late additions: $100
• $100 no-freeze fee. *

*  Processed semen will be rated using an iSperm and the motility will be included on your invoice and also on our website if we are marketing the semen.

Quality of semen Is primarily dependent on the buck, not the processing. 

If a buck cannot provide fresh semen at 65% motility or more, according to the iSperm analyzer, a $50 analysis fee will be charged and you will be given your printed straws to use at a later collection. If an owner elects to go forward with fresh semen at less than 65% motility, they assume full responsibility for the end product, regardless of post thaw motility. 

If semen is not at least 30% motility post thaw, a $100 no-freeze charge applies.

If semen is greater than 30% motility post thaw, the per straw charge applies with a minimum charge equivalent to 30 straws, even if the buck produces less than 30 straws.

We can help market your boys:  

• Pricing is set by the buck owner (i.e., $250 / 5 straws)
• Marketing fee is 25% of gross sale, this helps cover the cost of storage, handling, cane splitting, listing, etc.
• Marketing terms are for a 12 month period.  At the end of that period, re-negotiation will be made on the status of the semen, i.e., reduce pricing for quick sale, or seller to make arrangements to transport remaining balance, or pickup at the next major ADGA event that we attend (i.e., Nationals or Convention)
• If remaining balance is not picked up per above, a storage fee of $20 per cane per quarter will be assessed. 
• Marketing consists of sharing your posts to promote your buck to our social media page, listing on our website with an ADGA link to pedigree, and the ability to have straws transported to other stops and stored at our location when not enroute.
