 | MLC Video Updates Shaw Farms:Lautner & Polzin Genetics Sale Posted: 5/17/2012 |
$5,000 Reward
From Phil Lautner's attorneys...
Click Here for PDF Version
Phil Lautner hereby offers a reward in the sum of $5,000.00 to the FIRST PERSON to provide acceptable proof to his attorneys leading to the identification and location of the person or facility which collected semen from Bojo in violation of Phil Lautner’s rights. A photograph of a straw of such semen is reproduced below. A photograph of a lawfully collected straw of Bojo semen is also shown below. This straw was collected at Reproduction Enterprises, Inc. The only Bojo semen collected by Mr. Lautner has been collected at Hawkeye Breeders of Adel, Iowa, REI of Stillwater, OK or Integrated Breeders Service of Hearne, TX. The red straw of semen shown below was collected at none of those facilities.
The person coming forward with such proof and who seeks to collect the reward must agree to testify as a witness in any lawsuit concerning Bojo and the contraband semen. The information furnished must be based on the personal knowledge of the person giving the information. Second hand information or “hearsay” is not acceptable as proof in a court of law and therefore will not serve as the basis to receive the reward. If anyone has valid hearsay concerning the collection of the semen or the location of Bojo, Phil Lautner would appreciate that information.
Persons with no first hand knowledge may work jointly with those who have personal knowledge to provide the information and collect the reward jointly. Only one reward is payable, however.
Admissible evidence should be delivered, initially via email, if possible, to Bradley J. Nelson at bnelson@denisonlawyers.com or Jessica Zupp at jessicazupp@denisonlawyers.com, or delivered to Phil Lautner’s attorneys at: Norelius Nelson Zupp Zupp, 1317 Broadway, Denison, Iowa 51442. Mr. Nelson may be reached for questions or comments at (712) 263-4245, Monday-Friday, 8am-5pm, central standard time.

Bojo
For nearly two years now, there have been about half a dozen different stories floating around about what actually happened to Bojo. The parties involved obviously cannot comment on it because of pending litigation.
**Lautner has had no input on this blog, I found the documents while messing around looking up info on a different federal case. (the one I don't talk about)**
According to a motion filed on May 8th by Phil Lautner in Wichita Falls, Tx…
Dan Young bought Bojo in the summer of 2008.
Dan Young sold “possession rights” to Jason Holmes.
Dan Young traded the “semen collection and sale rights” to Lautner to satisfy a debt he had to Lautner. Dan retained semen rights for his own herd and any royalties from SEK.
Bojo was displayed in Denver in 2009, promoted, and collected by Lautner.
In June 2010, Bojo was returned to Holmes so he could exercise his “possession rights.” Holmes leased Bojo out to Tom Klinger (warning: Turn your volume down at work, MIDI version of Poker Face on that site) on a lease that was supposed to expire July 15th, 2010.
According to the court documents, Bojo was picked up the day before the end of the lease by Dan Young and taken back to Texas and him and Holmes have been hiding Bojo from Lautner ever since.
In November of 2010 Lautner filed for damages and the return of the bull and won a default judgment against Dan Young in the amount of $152,544.
Dan Young filed for chapter 13 bankruptcy protection in June of 2011, automatically putting a stay on any litigation.
The motion filed last Tuesday by Lautner is trying to get a lift of the automatic stay so they can commence litigation against Dan Young.

Terminology Tuesday - "Boning"
The fitting style where a calf is slick sheared on the belly, topline, and neck. Hair is only left on the front legs going up to the most prominent part of the shoulder and the rear legs up to the hook to pins area.
At one time an actually popular clipping style for fat steers in some regions, now it's only done in prospect calves. Most common clip job for American influenced show steer prospects. It adds an appearance of lower dimension in calves that have poor to below average hair.
Sometimes called “poodling”, “shucking”, “Bohemian clip job”, a wide range of other things.
Lost Dog
In what I’ve got a sneaky suspicion was a certain somebody’s birthday wish, we lost one of our two Pugs yesterday. We had left them at my parents for the weekend and one of them decided to go homeward bound on them about an hour before I back to pick her up.
I'm not going to make any more jokes about it because people get sensitive when it comes to dogs. However, her sister isn't the slightest bit depressed about this being the only dog left thing.

Monday, May 7th
Two Weeks Ago
Your entire cattle herd was worth less because some dairy cow in California got mad cow disease. Today your entire retirement account is worth less because the French don’t like rich people and the Greeks don’t like paying their bills.
Genius Scheduling
Not sure who over there at the TJLA thought of putting the livestock judging contest the night before the state FFA judging contest but it was an absolutely killer idea.
Speaking of that Contest
We went to video tape it for Livestockjudging.com. The animals were 2-3 month overdone show animals from the San Antonio Stock Show. In other words, the best practice for the Texas state FFA & 4-H contests you can possibly find.
Speaking of that Camp
The TJLA camp show is starting to creep up there in quality pretty quickly. Between the facilities and the quality that shows up it’s turned into a Belt Buckle Bonanza Light.
Speaking of those Facilities
For those of you that have been to the Brazos Expo Center, have you seen that completely run down and trashy trailer park across the road near Hwy 47? The one with no less than two sets of “salt of the earth” types with inflatable pools in their driveways drinking beer the two times I drove through? The one with at least three different cars up on blocks?
That’s where I lived my five years of college.
You know what I DID catch flack for?
That post on Friday that three people thought was an apology, which it wasn’t.
I Only Heard...
..."please don't blog this but..." three times this weekend.
