If a veterinarian was required, he generally contacted the
veterinarian. He would also contact petitioners when the
veterinarian was needed, as they were responsible for the
resulting expenses. Mr. Deitch estimates there were from 8 to 10
calves born to petitioners' animals during a year. He, his wife,
or other family member was present for the births. He spent, on
average, about 1-1/2 hours a day with petitioners' animals,
feeding and observing them, and performing other miscellaneous
tasks.
Mr. Deitch did not invoice or bill petitioners under the
oral agreement, but petitioners kept track of the number of
cattle present at K-C during each month in 1996 and 1997 and,
generally, paid accordingly.
Veterinary Breeding Services
From time to time during the period at issue, petitioners'
cattle received veterinary services at some distance from K-C.
The services included in vitro fertilizations and embryo
transfers, techniques which particularly interested petitioners.
In 1996, some of the cattle were transported to a facility called
Em Tran in Elizabethtown, Pennsylvania. In 1997, cattle were
sent to both Em Tran and Genetic Visions in Coatesville,
Pennsylvania.
One or both of petitioners visited Em Tran about 8 times
over 2 years, and they went to Genetic Visions about 14 times in
