These appeals present, once again, the question of whether the defendants transacted any business within the State rendering them subject to jurisdiction pursuant to CPLR 302 (subd. [a], par 1). Plaintiff brings these actions seeking recovery on promissory notes executed and delivered by the defendants to plaintiff’s assignor Black Watch Farms, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as Farms). Defendants purchased pure-bred cattle from Farms, delivering as payment a series of promissory notes. In connection with the purchase and as part of one integrated transaction defendants entered into a breeding and maintenance agreement with Farms (described in the agreement as a New York corporation) pursuant to which Farms was to perform various functions with *29relation to the care and breeding of the cattle. The agreement provided for an initial term of 10 years renewable for further periods totaling an additional 10 years. Promissory notes were also issued as payment for the breeding and maintenance services. It appears that the defendants are nonresidents and that the notes and agreements were executed by defendants in the States of their residence. It also appears that the negotiations culminating in the sale took place at the residence of each of the defendants.
In determining whether the defendants are subject to jurisdiction under the long-arm statute — CPLR 302 (subd. [a], par. 1)—the entire transaction must be considered. The cattle were purchased for investment purposes and the agreements provided for an extended and continuing relationship between the parties. In fact, it appears that for a period of about two years, Farms performed the required services. While defendants’ cattle were not kept in New York, services with respect to the cattle and to the ultimate success of the investment were performed in New York. Decisions concerning breeding were made in New York; records were kept in New York; artificial insemination procedures were effected in New York; and regular advice was transmitted from the New York office to the cattle owners by reports and newsletters. Moreover, the services performed by Farms were in meaningful respects under the contractual control of the defendants. The maintenance agreement, for example, gave defendants the right to designate which sire would be used for breeding. Additionally, Farms was obligated to meet periodically with the cattle owners to give its advice relative to maintenance of the cattle. There was further provision with respect to the sale of any cattle and in connection therewith, Farms was to act as agent for the cattle owners.
We believe that defendants have engaged in purposeful activities in this State in connection with the matter in suit, subjecting them to jurisdiction (Elman v. Belson, 32 A D 2d 422). Services of a significant nature were performed in New York for and at the defendants ’ request. And as indicated, the defendants, pursuant to the agreement, retained measures of authority and control over Farms’ performance. The services performed by plaintiff pursuant to the agreement may therefore be attributable to the defendants for jurisdictional purposes (see Parke-Bernet Galleries v. Franklyn, 26 N Y 2d 13). As stated in De Nigris Assoc. v. Pacific Air Transp. Int. (38 A D 2d 363, 364—365) plaintiff was “the agent and representative of the *30defendant and not a principal nor an independent contractor in respect of the services within the holdings of Glassman v. Hyder (23 N Y 2d 354); Standard Wine & Liq. Co. v. Bombay Spirits Co. (20 N Y 2d 13); McKee Elec. Co. v. Rauland-Borg Corp. (20 N Y 2d 377) and Kramer v. Vogl (17 N Y 2d 27) cited and distinguished in Parke-Bernet Galleries v. Franklyn (supra).”
Accordingly, in appeal in first above-entitled action the order denying the motion to dismiss the complaint should be affirmed without costs or disbursements to either party. In appeal in second above-entitled action, the order granting the motion to dismiss the complaint should be reversed on the law and the motion denied without costs or disbursements to either party; the order denying the motion for leave to serve a supplemental complaint should be reversed on the law and the motion granted without costs or disbursements to either of the parties. The appeal from order denying reargument should be dismissed.
