How do I bid?
Select the JMAR Genetics and Guests Auction. When the bidding for the auction is open, you will have the opportunity to enter your bid (and your maximum bid) for each animal. Simply login to your user account and click on the Bid button for each lot to submit the bid(s).
If you are watching the auction via a computer or via your mobile device, when you are winning the screen will show this message: You are winning! in green on the lot(s) you have the high bid on. If you get outbid, the message will change to: You have been outbid.
If you get outbid on any lot within an auction, you will receive a notification based on the preferences you set up in your user profile registration. There are two outbid notification preferences you could possibly receive – a text alert sent directly to your cell phone, or an email sent to your registered email address, or both!
If you are watching the auction via a computer or via your mobile device, when you are outbid, the screen will show this message: You have been outbid. If you would like to bid again on that lot, simply click on the Bid button and Place a Bid.
During the bidding process you will not need to refresh your page to ensure you are viewing the most current bidding activity. The auction platform auto-refreshes the page, and the bidding is in real time.
Contact information for the seller can be found in the sale catalog and also underneath each lot on a particular auction. If you have any questions regarding a specific item, please contact the seller.
A maximum bid is the highest dollar amount you are willing to pay for an item. Here is an example of using the maximum bid feature. If you enter a maximum bid the system will automatically bid on your behalf up to your maximum bid amount. For example, let’s assume that you enter a bid of $2000 on an item and maximum bid of $4000. If no other bids are placed on that item, you will be the winner at your $2000 bid. If another bidder places a bid of $2250 on the item you will now be winning at $2250 plus one increment level, $2250 + $250 = $2500. Your maximum bid is completely confidential and not revealed to the public or viewed by anyone other than you when selecting this feature.
Yes, you have the ability to raise and/or lower your maximum bid at any given time while the auction is open for bidding. However, when lowering your maximum, you can not change the maximum bid price to lower than the current winning bid.
The bid increment is the minimum dollar amount that the bid must be raised. Bid increments will typically be in $250.00 increments. You can bid higher than the minimum bid increment (next required bid), or you may enter a maximum bid, but you may not bid in denominations less than the set bid increment.
To bid via the telephone, call the sale day phone or any of the consignors or professional representatives to place call-in bids for the online auction. Everyone will be glad to assist you in the bidding process.
Bulls and heifers will be available for viewing and pick up sale day after the sale. We will have computers, tablets and phones available sale day to place bids for anyone who wants to bid in person.
The auction will end at 5 pm eastern time or as shown on the DVAuction.com. Please visit the DVAuction.com page to confirm the closing date and time.
This auction will utilize an auto-extend, horse race style closing. With this feature, the bidding will remain open on all items in the auction if there has been at least one bid received on any one item in the auction within the last 5 minutes (or the set extended bidding increment at the time). Once 5 minutes has lapsed without any bidding activity, the bidding on all items will be closed. All lots will close simultaneously.
Please see the examples below – this is a sample and may or may not match the actual ending times.
Example #1:
Auction closes at 5 PM. There is no bidding from 4:55 PM to 5 PM. All lots are declared closed and the sale ends at 5 PM.
Example #2:
Auction closes at 5 PM. There is a bid placed at 4:57 PM. Auction is extended by 5 minutes. No more bidding occurs. All lots are declared closed and the sale ends at 5:02 PM.
Example #3:
Auction closes at 5 PM. There is a bid placed at 4:57 PM. Auction is extended by 5 minutes until 5:02 PM. Another bid is placed at 5:01 PM. No more bids are placed. All lots are declared closed and the sale ends at 5:06 PM.
The auto-extend time goes into effect once the auction reaches its original ending time. The auction will remain open for bidding on all items within the auction if there has been at least one bid received on any one item in the auction within the last 5 minutes, even if the original ending time has been reached. Extended bidding means that the auction is not declared closed until there have been 5 minutes of inactivity on the entire auction. Each time a bid is placed, it resets the clock timer on the auction back to the high water mark auto-extend time that is set.
If you are the high bidder, DVAuction.com online auction staff will email you to your registered user email address immediately after the auction has ended. This email will inform you that you have won the bid and the purchase price.
At the conclusion of the auction the owner of the lot purchased will give you a call confirming you purchased their lot and arranging payment. After confirmation they will invoice you via email. Payment is expected within 2 weeks of the purchase date
GrowSafe Systems Ltd. builds advanced animal agriculture systems to help producers optimize their operations. GrowSafe’s advanced data acquisition platform features integrated hardware and software analytics that provide producers with data to make better decisions for their operations. Today, GrowSafe is helping to raise more efficient, environmentally friendly and healthier animals in 22 U.S. states, seven Canadian provinces and on farms in Mexico, Australia, Brazil, Uruguay, Namibia, South Africa, New Zealand and across Europe.
Approximately 55 to 75% of the total costs associated with beef cattle production are feed costs (NRC, 2000; Arthur et al., 2001a; Basarab et al., 2002).
A 5% decrease in feed efficiency could have an economic impact four times greater than a 5% improvement in average daily gain (Basarab et al., 2002).
In feedlot studies demonstrated that a 10% improvement in average daily gain (ADG) as a result of a 7% increase in appetite improved profitability 18%, whereas, a 10% improvement in feed efficiency returned a 43% increase in profits (Fox et al., 2001).
When selecting bulls for a terminal cross breeding system we suggest applying more selection pressure on DMI and F/C, while still selecting for cattle with exceptional growth, muscle and carcass quality. If you happen to be more maternally focused or plan to keep daughters of these bulls then applying more selection pressure to RFI may make more sense.
We recommend selecting cattle how you normally would. Select the ones that work for your program and environment, yet simply select for the ones who eat less doing it.
All Bulls and Heifers will be docility scored by an independent, third party and published on each lot. The docility scores most closely match the descriptions listed below.

JMAR Kinsman 3J82 is being described as a bull that checks a lot of the boxes and we agree. We don’t know where you’ll find a bull who excels in more traits and immeasurables than JMAR Kinsman 3J82. He’s top 1% growth, 1% ribeye, 1% marbling and yet top 1% maternal as well.

So if you believe in stacking cow families, it doesn’t get much deeper. Kinsman not only excels on paper, he also has tremendous feet, a fabulous disposition, is long, smooth, attractive and homozygous polled. We feel like Kinsman could be used in a lot of herds on a lot of cattle.

Has the highest combination of growth AND feed efficiency of 44 bulls on test! He is #4 in his group for RFI and #1 for ADG! 4.6 pounds of feed per pound of gain is amazi ng efficiency! Equally amazing is his 0.96 RE EPD that is backed by his ADJ RE of 15.15. High growth, high Ribeye, Eatons Beyond genetics could be very valuable in the future of this beef economy!

Galen Fink once described the 7548 cow as “The cow to move the breed forward”. This Leverage 241 bull has given lots of reasons that support Mr. Finks statement. Lot 26 had -1.76 RFI with an amazing 4.1# ADG making him FAST GROWING AND FEED EFFICIENT, a rare combination!

Out of David Clark’s 865 donor cow, and sired by the impactful Monticello, 2209 has always been a high growth, stout, and lon g bodied bull. He is a low Birthweight sire at top 30% BW and has WW EPD in top 4% and Yw in the top 6%, 1% CW, 3% Marbling, Top 9% REA.
This is what one commercial customer had to say about Monticello. “I AI’d 100 head of commercial Angus cows to Monticello and they were the best calves I’ve ever raised and most profitable. They came easy, no issues, hit the ground running and they grow and they grow and they grow. I’ve used Angus, Charolais and Simmental semen and bulls and Monticello is the best bull I’ve ever used.”

This heifer is feminine with a big body and rib, she is gonna be a super cow. Out of a cow from Finks in Kansas and out of the great Forefront bull you can expect that Maternal and growth, moderate birth weight, and excellent marbling will be present in all her progeny. One of my favorites at weaning, both for phenotype and docility.
Our mission at Desco Charolais Farm is to produce genetics with the best growth and carcass traits available while maintaining ideal calving ease and maternal ability. We do this by acquiring females in the breed that are outliers in those traits and using Advanced Reproduction Technology to propagate those genetic traits with complimentary sires. If you are serious about beef production, we think our genetics will increase your profitability.

The value of crossbreeding and hybrid vigor has been documented and discussed for years. The problem has been, the recommended crossbreeding systems are complicated and difficult to implement and manage. This led us to develop our “Terminal Turnkey Solutions” or opportunities to maximize heterosis and breed complementarity that are easier to implement, manage and maintain. We hope you agree and as always, we are happy to work with you and answer any questions you might have about how to implement a terminal crossbreeding system into your cowherd.
As you can see from the chart you get maximum heterosis and maximum pounds at weaning from a terminal crossbreeding system. But what about breed complementarity? An average Charolais bull should provide roughly 29 lbs of weaning weight over an average Angus bull. Therefore, if we add the 24 lbs of heterosis to the 29 lbs from breed complementarity, we get roughly 53 lbs of additional weaning weight on average. If that 53 lbs is worth $1.50 then that’s an additional $79.50 per head. If a bull sires 30 calves that’s an additional $2385 per calf crop and because he’s a terminal bull you could use him for 5 or more calf crops to generate $11,925 in additional revenue. That’s HUGE!!!
• Use Charolais bulls and purchase all replacement females. This is the simplest terminal solution. You can purchase replacement females that fit your needs and maximize heterosis without maintaining a maternal herd.
• Use maternal bulls on your 1, 2, and 3 year old cows to generate replacement heifers and use Charolais bulls terminally on the older cows. Your youngest cows, should be your best genetically. This allows you to keep replacements out of your best genetics and focus on those maternal characteristics that compliment a terminal program.
• Use maternal bulls for the first 30 days, then turn in Charolais bulls.
We would recommend breeding your cows A.I. one round then turning in Charolais bulls to clean up. Either way, A.I. or natural service, you are indirectly selecting for fertility in your replacements. We like this option because A.I. allows you to utilize some of the best genetics available to generate your replacements and with sexed semen you could generate all heifer calves.
