The chute fee includes collection and breeding/regular shipping. The chute fee will be charged with each additional shipment of semen and must be paid prior to shipment. Credit card payments require an additional charge of 2-4% depending on the card used. Any remaining balance must be paid in full one week prior to breeding or shipping of semen. For on site breeding, all other expenses, including board and additional veterinary treatments shall be paid in full before the mare is released.

HOWEVER, Harlowton Veterinary or Rimrock Livestock reserves the right to refuse to accept any mare which is (1) not in proper condition or (2) which does not have all of the records, tests, and registration documents required herein.
5. Breeder agrees to diligently try to settle Owner’s mare. Mare owner agrees to give Breeder ample opportunity to settle the mare (having bred her through at least two (2) heat-periods. IF THE MARE LEAVES BEFORE PREGNANCY CHECKED, THE LIVE FOAL GUARANTEE THEN BECOMES VOID. If, however, for any reason the mare does not settle, mare owner will hold Harlowton Veterinary Clinic and Rimrock Livestock harmless.
6. This contract contains a “Live Foal Guarantee”. A live foal is described as a newborn foal, which stands and nurses unassisted. If the foal is born dead, return privileges shall apply only if Rimrock Livestock is notified within seven (7) days thereof and receives a veterinarian’s statement confirming death. Breeder makes no warranty as to the quality or conformation of the foal. The live foal guarantee in this contract is non-transferable and should the mare be sold or otherwise disposed of prior to the birth of the foal, the live foal guarantee granted, shall be void. Return privileges shall apply only to the next normal breeding season.
7. If the mare miscarries, proves barren after being pregnancy checked in foal, or fails to conceive during the normal breeding season, Breeder agrees to breed said mare again during the immediately following year’s breeding season. There will be a charge of $450.00 for the “re-breed” service expenses. Should the original mare be deemed unfit for breeding, a substitute mare may be accepted at the discretion of Rimrock Livestock.
8. A “Breeder’s Certificate” will be issued for the foal conceived by the mating when stallion fees and all other expenses have been paid in full. Mare Owner will receive a “Breeder’s Certificate” when Rimrock Livestock has been notified that a live foal has been produced.
