Welcome
There is currently a lot of optimism in the cattle industry with strong calf prices that aren’t showing signs of slowing down. The need for a great bull continues to be important to move your program forward. Whether you need calving ease, performance, or other characteristics to enhance your program, we have developed bulls to cover your needs.
With the combination of our two purebred programs, you can feel confident in the product you are buying. We have built our programs with a strong female base bred to elite Gelbvieh bulls. With rising costs the need to focus in on your return on investment still continues to drive successful operations. We are continuously striving to find new, outcross genetics to support progression in the beef industry. For those who don’t know about our programs:
Nelson Gelbvieh has a strong tradition of producing top quality commercial and seed stock bulls. Layering elite bulls has led to having consistent high-selling bred females in purebred sales over the years. This year we have over 33 top quality yearling bulls that will leave a mark on your program.
Pin to Point Gelbvieh, a smaller progressive program, focuses on quality through extensive A.I. and embryo work. We find top quality females from programs all over North America for our solid female base. Calving in March and April allows us to retain bulls and sell them as mature 2-year olds. This year we have seven red and black 2-year old bulls for sale.
To give you the confidence you need in purchasing your next herd sire, all bulls will have a semen and breeding soundness evaluation. A supplement sheet of current weights along with bull pictures and videos will be posted on the website www.pintopointgelbvieh.com as soon as the information is available. There will be an open house at Nelson Gelbvieh on March 24th and 25th and anytime at Pin to Point Gelbvieh. If you would like a tour of either program in advance we are more than willing to accommodate.
We want to thank everyone for your continued support throughout the years. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out to us.

After you create your FarmGate account you will receive a text message with a pin code to verify your account.
On your first log in to FarmGate Timed auctions we recommend you go to your profile and confirm your notifications are set to YES. This allows the site to send you text and/or email notifications when you are out bid and if there is activity on your favorite lots.
RETURNING FARMGGATE USERS
If you have used Farm Gate Timed auctions in the past simply enter your user name and password to continue. After you have logged in you are able to browse the timed auctions on DLMS FarmGate Timed Auctions.
HOW TO BID IN A TIMED AUCTION
Now that you are logged in and your account phone number / email is verified you are able to bid on an upcoming sale. Simply find the lot you are interested in bidding on. After you have found the lot there are 2 options for bidding on the lot.
Place Next Bid – to place the next bid on the item, you see the amount in the first box, you simply click the “Place Bid” button and after you review the bid and agree to the terms and conditions your bid will be placed.
Max Bid Amount – to place a max bid you put your max bid in the second box listed as “Max Bid” on the item, and then click the “Place Bid” button and after you review the bid and agree to the terms and conditions your bid will be placed as the next bid. With the Max Bid placed the computer will then keep you as the high bidder to the max amount you have placed. This can be a great feature if you are not able to give 100% attention to the sale close out and protect your interest so you do not miss out on any lots you want to purchase. The Max Bid amount is completely confidential from the seller during the sale process.
Example of How the Max Bid Works - If the lot has a $2000 bid on it and you place a proxy bid of $3500 into the system, the computer will bid $2100 for you but if some one else bids $2200, the computer will again bid for you, this time at $2300. The system will look after your interest to a maximum of $3500. If another bidder is on at $3600, your proxy will no longer be effective and you will no longer have the winning bid on this lot without once again logging in and bidding again or moving your attention to a second lot of interest. Please note that in some cases a lot value can change very quickly if 2 max bids are placed on the same lot competing against each other.
WATCH LIST FEATURE
If you have items in multiple auctions or only a few from the same auction that you want to watch with out having to scroll through the entire list you can add the lots to your watchlist. On each lot you will see the “eye” button beside the bid button, by clicking this “watchlist” Icon that item is added to your personal watchlist for easy viewing of just your favorite lots in this sale or on the entire site.
SALE ENDING / CLOSEOUT
Most FarmGate Timed Auction sales close racehorse style with extended bidding.
What is Racehorse Style Close? Racehorse style sale close is when the entire sale stays open in extended bidding. This type of sale allows you as the bidder to change to a different lot within the same sale if the bidding has gone in to extended bidding.
How will Extended Bidding works? When we get to the close out end time the clock for close extends with any bid placed with less than 5 min on the clock. This type of extended bidding turns the end time to more of a soft time. Extended bidding allows bidders to compete in lots like a real auction and give all bidders the same time to make a decision. Always follow the clock to see how much time remains in the sale you are interested in.
BIDDING CLOSE & FOLLOW-UP
After the clock has gone to “ENDED” and no bidding has occurred for 5 min the computer will declare the sale finished. Following the close typically within 24 hours of the sale close the sale consignor will contact all winning bidders to arrange payment, transfer of pedigrees and delivery/Pick up of your lot. Or as the winning bidder you can contact the sale consignor / sale manager to confirm payment instructions. Please make sure that your account info is upto-date and correct if you are the winning bidder of a lot as this is how the billing is sent to Sale manager and/or Sale consignor.
