a. An estimate of the amount of feed and care provided to the cattle pursuant to the contract.
b. The estimated duration of the period when the cattle are subject to feed and care at the custom cattle feedlot.
c. The name of the party to the contract whose cattle are subject to feed and care at the custom cattle feedlot.
d. The description of the location of the custom cattle feedlot, by county and township.
e. The signature of the person filing the form.
