Welcome
FROM BLAIRSWEST LAND & CATTLE
Since our inaugural bull sale last spring, a lot has happened at Blairwest Land & Cattle. Next time you drive by or stop in, you’ll notice our new shop and office. This was long overdue and will not only be a place for us to keep our feed equipment warm throughout the cold winter months or get a head start on tackling jobs for the upcoming crop season, but also a place to gather and have a cup of coffee with new and old friends.
A major contributing factor to building the shop was to be able to transition the majority of our feed supply to silage. We felt that this was important for the direction of our herd health and something we wanted to invest in for the future.
We are really excited about this year’s offering; the bulls have been developed slowly on a total mixed ration and we follow a full herd health protocol.
We are always exploring opportunities to add new, innovative genetics to our operation to build the performance of our herd, and in turn, the bulls we are proud to provide to our customers and their operations.
As we’ve had a long history in the cattle business, mainly selling seedstock, we continue to believe in the importance of building strong relationships through wholesome communication. In saying that, we are proud of the selection of bulls we have to offer this year. From our offering this spring, we believe there is a bull to meet the demand of any herd. There is a strong mix of calving-easy bulls and power bulls that we believe will help provide performance in our customers herds.
Prior to the sale, all bulls will be evaluated by Dr. Blair Simonson.
Please don’t hesitate to call if you feel we can be of assistance in helping you find your next herd sire. Additionally, please feel free to come out to the farm and take a walk through the selection we have to offer.
Thanks as always, The Blair Family

How To BID ONLINE WITH DLMS FARM GATE TIMED AUCTIONS
FARM GATE TIMED AUCTIONS
After you are at the Farm Gate Timed auction site click the LOGIN/REGISTRATION button. First time Farm Gate users will select the REGISTER button from this page. Fill out the registration form to signup for a free user account and it allows you to select a username and password for use on all Farm Gate Timed auctions. • After you create your Farm Gate account you will receive a txt message with a pin code to verify your account. On your first log in to Farm Gate 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 FARM GATE 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 Farm Gate 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 Farm Gate 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 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 on 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 up-to-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.
