The 2024 Blairswest Online Bull Sale

with

DLMS farm gate timed auctions

Welcome

FROM BLAIRSWEST LAND & CATTLE

On behalf of the Blair family, we would like to welcome you to our 3rd Annual Blairswest Bull sale March 11th on DLMS Farmgate. It truly is remarkable to look back from the past couple years and see our progeny go on and do great things for our customers and how unique that customers become friends and a cool experience being able to be a part of.

We are very excited about the bulls we have on offer for our 3rd Annual bull sale. There is a nice mixture of calving ease and power bulls and few

that we feel could work well on bigger heifers and cows. These bulls are backed by females that have gone through multiple culling processes in terms of foot and udder quality as well as maternal genetics, mothering ability and fertility.

Please consider this your invitation to our open house March 9th at the farm. If that doesn’t work we would be more than happy to have you prior to the open house. We will be drawing for a $500 sale credit from the people that attend the open house or have toured the pen prior to sale day.

We are very excited to announce that we are expanding at Blairswest, we have a new little helper. Cameron and Paige had a little baby girl, Sophie Sandy arrived in October.

Courtney said Yes, Courtney and Nolan will tie the knot this summer.

Exciting times at Blairswest.

WithGUEST CONSIGNOR COPPER KETTLE CATTLE CO.

I am excited to be a part of the third annual Blairswest Land & Cattle Bull Sale. While some of you may not recognize the Copper Kettle farm name, I’m not new to the Simmental breed. I grew up being actively involved in my parents operation, marketing purebred Simmental bulls off the farm at Kinistino, SK under the name Porter Simmentals. Our goal was always to produce bulls that had some performance, were structurally sound, and put it all together in an attractive package. I have tried to stay to true to my roots, and have developed these two bulls to be exactly that. Combine that with some of the highly sought after genetics in the Simmental breed right

now, and I feel these two bulls are the type and kind that will work in a lot of different operations. As I transitioned from the family farm, and ventured out on my own, I was fortunate to have a lot of people help me out along the way. I cannot thank the Blair family enough, for taking me under their wing and allowing me to be a part of their sale. Being part of an online bull sale is new to me, and they have been extraordinary to deal with throughout the process. If you would like to discuss the offering or view the bulls prior to sale day, I would love the opportunity to chat with new and old customers.

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.

Icon was an in dam purchase from Double Bar D Farms at their Sharing the Herd event in 2022. His dam, Brett 510J is a member of Double Bar D’s famous “Brett” cow family and he has an excellent disposition, just like his mama. 1L is clean in through the front end, with extra neck extension. He’s long-spined, square hipped and displays tremendous depth of rib, which will add pounds to your calves. Icon is good footed, and sound on the move and puts it together in a real nice attractive package. Consigned by: Allison Porter.

Reddington was an in dam purchase out of the R Plus dispersal. He is out of the $161,000 R Plus Reddington. One of the things a lot of people talk about when it comes to Reddington progeny, is how he breeds so true and consistent to his own type and kind. 4L is no exception. He checks off all the boxes. He is dark red, good haired, extra length of body, heavy muscled, big hipped, big boned and the biggest check mark of all – he will add pounds to your calves in the fall. Consigned by: Allison Porter.
