GeneSTAR and TenderSTAR Tested Genetics

DNA TESTED GENETICS must have been tested and found to have at least 50% of the markers being tested for at the time of listing. As with any other Advantage sales, the honor system of the seller presenting his items honestly and the buyer giving his word as his bond for any transaction is expected and required. As with any other purchase of genetic seed stock, the buyer will need to do his own research to know about the inheritability potential of various matings.
Updates for listing eligibility and additional companies with their respective guidelines will be added as needed.

As of 4/16/07 for listing eligibility:
Bovigen GeneSTAR tests for 4 Quality and 3 Tenderness Genes. Each marker has 2 alleles available so anything listed (livestock, pregnancies, flush donors, and herd sires) must carry at least 7 alleles of the current maximum potential of 14. 

For embryos both the dam and sire involved must each have tested for at least 7 alleles. 

Following each animal will be their markers listed in order of: QG1-QG2-QG3-QG4-T1-T2-T3. So a list showing (2-0-1-x-2-1-2, 8 Star) means the animal has 2 QG1, 0 QG2, 1 QG3, the "x" means that test was not done for QG4, 2 T1, 1 T2, and 2 T3 for a total of 8 Stars (as alleles).

Rules on ACS.  If you as a buyer say you want to purchase something off of the ACS Classifieds and you receive a bill, you own it and we expect payment. 

If you as a seller sell something off of this site, you cannot send the money back to the buyer because of a change of mind or circumstances unless you contact the buyer and the buyer contacts me and says it is alright. If the buyer says it is alright, you will not get the selling fee returned and you must pay the full selling price to the buyer. 

This business has always been on the honor system and your word is your bond. If it is fractured, you will not be able to buy or sell off of this site.

 

WANTED...

Wanted Your Insurance Business When Shipping Semen, Embryos, or Livestock Here is a name of a person insuring semen and embryos for a time frame of when the shipping is to take place. You will have to contact them for all the details but it is real straight forward.
They will need the name of the bull or donor, how many units, the purchase price, who the shipping company is, where it is being shipped from, where it is being shipped to, and how long will it take to ship it.

I know that there will be a minimum charge because they obviously have to cover the cost of their business. The charge of what ever the policy is will have to come from them. If the insured value is above their minimum price they then charge a percentage of the insured value.
You may call, Jerry Gay at 901-276-2855.  His fax number is 901-276-0758.
