Schnitker issued to the Hoyt organization and a later note and a

to pay Mrs. Schnitker’s invoice.33 Moreover, as indicated
earlier, at about this same time: (1) Jay Hoyt, in a February 4,
1991, memorandum, instructed other Hoyt organization workers to
register with the ASA a calf for each cow bred, not just “live
calves”; and (2) the Hoyt organization proposed to Mr. Hunsley
that it be allowed to register calves with the ASA at a lower
registration fee of $6 per calf, in return for promising to
register a minimum of 4,000 calves annually for 1991 and 1992.
See supra notes 10 and 11. The record further includes a letter
Mr. Hunsley issued to the Hoyt organization on or about February
14, 1991, in which he essentially agreed to the Hoyt
organization’s proposal regarding a lower calf registration fee.
In that letter, Mr. Hunsley also mentioned his close work with
Mrs. Schnitker in registering “embryo transplant calves”.
The record reflects that petitioners’ asserted valuation of
$4,000 per animal is still substantially higher than the prices
the Hoyt organization realized in selling cattle to independent,

Management’s cattle marketing director and was no longer a Hoyt
organization worker.
