OK People -- LET'S get BUSY !!!!
Now that we have your attention, this is what I want to do, and I need everyone's help doing it!
Christmas - this year will not be limited to Christmas Day. Some one will get a Christmas gift when THEY want it -hehehe
I am donating an expense PAID superovulated flush of the winners choice of cows. This is something I have wanted to do for some person or family for a very long time, I personally can not go out and buy a gift for some one that would make a difference in thier lives like this will.
There are considerations listed below that I ask you to PLEASE adhere to -- after all -- this is Christmas from Me to Winner -- and I want that to be felt as it is meant -- from the heart. Please read the listed requirements for this project -- and let's all get some one something that will last an entire lifetime -- genetics are good for that -- they just get BETTER!!!!
1) Nominated person/family must NOT know they have been nominated, that I feel is the true spirit of Christmas.
2) Please -- no self nominations.
3) Person/family must trully need a shot in the arm, be financially unable to do this without some help.
4) There should be a "COW" already in thier possesion that they would like to flush, I wouldn't want the winner to win, then have to go buy a donor female, that is not the point.
5) There is no restrictions as to WHERE they live, but considering the cost of travel, it may prohibit certain people from getting the cow here to be done, consider the options of this.
6) The winner will be selected from the list of names YOU folks will send -- our very own RED has been gracious enough to volunteer (Actually I drafted her) to help orchestrate the entire deal. The nominees need to have contact info complete -- a breed listed - and the nominating party please send along a short assay as to why this party needs to be considered.
7) No time limit on getting this done -- any time the cow is ready in 2008 -- but seeing how I am inpatient -- the sooner after warm weather the better!!! hehehe
8) Winner will get an entire flush -- including prep work, collection, and freeze -OR- transfers of resulting embryos FREE of charge. All I will ask is that the donor's feed be covered while here -- how long she stays will be up to the cow and the winner!
9) Winner to furnish thier choice of semen -- 2 units are required.
10) I ask that NO VIRGIN hfrs be presented for this flush -- they are risky at best --and I want to make sure that the winner will get something good and usefull out of this -- plus -- hfrs are not real productive unually until they calve.
RED has agreed to accept the nominations -- and will be my unbiased ace in the hole!
Selecting the winner will be as fun as it is unbiased -- to fully appreciate how I feel about any human intervention in finding out who wins this -- I have asked RED to gather ALL the entries we recieve - write the name on a small piece of paper -- and when we have enough -- she will throw them all in the air with our little buddy WOODY watching. What ever piece of paper he FIRST grabs and runs off with will be the winner. I kid you not!!!
If you know cannineguage (?Jeez) -- you might want to talk to him!! hehehehe
Good luck every one --
Do not post any nominations on the board -- they ALL need to be kept confidential so as not to allow a potential winner knowing it may be coming, I want this to be a total surpise!!!!
Let's all make some one be more proud to be in this great business of livestock production. I am trully looking forward to this, this will make the last 26 years of my life even more full of memories than it already is!!!
God Bless - and Merry Christmas
Terry
PS-"" The very fact that you have been thoughtfull enough to nominate some one will be in itself your gift to them. Let's all get the spirit and see how we can make some ones day. I would also BET you all, that if some one wins from far away -- we as a TEAM could figure out a way to get that cow here and back home again - if we were to take a few bucks here and there -- it could happen hey??
