BLACK CHROME LIVESTOCK
It’s with great pleasure we welcome you to join us for our 3rd Annual Black Chrome Livestock Bull Sale on DLMS Farm Gate Timed Auctions. As we reflect on the year it’s been a great time to be in the cattle industry with feeder and bred cattle markets reaching an all-time high. We’ve had the opportunity to tour new and pre exiting customers through the cow herd and catch up with old friends to visit about the industry. It is always nice to hear different perspective on different topics in the cattle business.
We are extremely proud of this year’s offering and think it is one of the deepest pens in terms of quality that we have had to offer to date. This year we used a few new sires to allow producers the opportunity to source outcross pedigree from our program. We were extremely happy with the results of these sires and are excited to share these genetics with you. There is variety of bulls to meet your breeding program needs. Whether you are in the market for a Black Angus or a Black Simmental we have you covered.
One of our main goals is to continue to raise the bar in the quality of cattle we raise. We focus heavily on producing cattle that are maintenance free. This means cattle that are sound footed, easy fleshing, able to withstand all types of terrain and adaptable to feed quality. This is especially important in areas with very little rain. We also put a huge emphasis on temperament not only in the bulls but the females as well and the udder quality in our females. The bulls we strive to produce are no nonsense, cowboy style bulls that are built to last. We also see the importance of consistency. No matter if your operation is commercial and you sell trailer loads or liner loads of calves or a seedstock producers and sell pens of bulls.
Our bulls are raised by their mothers, naturally on grass and milk, no creep feed. They are weaned the beginning of September and introduced to a TMR ration that is designed to enhance growth requirements, without compromising longevity. They are developed in a large pen allowing them ample space to move around and exercise.
Black Chrome Livestock would like to sincerely thank all our past customers as well as those who have shown interest in our program. We look forward to touring past, present and future customers through this year’s bull pen. Although the sale is not in person, we welcome you to the farm to view the offering any time prior or during the sale. If you are unable to attend and have questions, please don’t hesitate to contact one of us to discuss the bulls and their dams. We want to ensure that you get the bull that best suits your program. We look forward to seeing you!

FROM THE DESK AT T BAR C
In this the 2025 bull sale season, Cache and Jill offer an outstanding selection of breeding stock both Angus and Simmental. This is their third annual event which is a DLMS Farm Gate Timed Auction on March 3 with a closeout of March 4th.
The Black Chrome Livestock herd is designed for purebred and commercial cattlemen alike. Fulfilling the goal of producing sires that will add pounds and high quality at weaning a success they have achieved. As you go through this uniform offering, you will find a close similarity in type and kind in both Angus and Simmental. A nice problem to have.
The lineup is by far the best they have offered with key traits moving their program forward. The calving ease numbers are frequent amongst the bulls, yet there is a certain high-performance factor with both the eye and the numbers representing them.
Black Chrome Livestock is a must make in shopping for your next sire or sires. Thickness with muscle, plenty of hair and scrotal, easy fleshing and conversion are just some of the reasons to visit let alone style and eye appeal. Feel free to stop by the ranch anytime prior the event, preview the bulls and their mothers.
If we, at T Bar C may be of any assistance prior to or sale day, do not hesitate to call any of our team and we will be pleased to assist in a professional and confidential manner.

3. How to Bid
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.
a) 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.
b) 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.

5. 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 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.
6. 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 bidding 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.
