         Under the agreement the University will keep and care for the bull
for a period of not less than three years before it may dispose of its interest
unless the bull is later determined to be sterile or diseased or dies. Each
party shall have equal rights to use the bull artificially or naturally. Mr.
Peterson explained that the purpose behind this purchase is to make it possible
to test whether or not certain bulls can transmit beefiness or meatiness to
other animals and, by having an interest in three or four bulls at the same time,
much progress can be made on the project.  He explained that this bull happens
to be a Hereford but the project encompasses meat cattle in general. He also
reported that the University desired to pay $3,500. 00 for one-half interest in
the bull under the above conditions enumerated. He stated that this price
seemed to be in line with those being paid for animals of this blood line, type,
quality and performance record.

         Upon motion duly made, seconded and carried, the purchase was
authorized and the contract was approved and authorized executed.
