Welcome to Golden Opportunities Vol III, Golden Oak Livestock’s frozen genetic Angus and Hereford event!
This time of year is a favourite around Golden Oak as we witness some very anticipated genetic crossings hit the ground with some of our favourites continuing to be out of our very own Preacher 333L! It really makes a person look forward to watching them grow and develop over the summer!
We’re very proud of the fact that the majority of bulls that sire our 2026 calf crop, on both the Angus and Hereford sides, are out of bulls that walk here at Golden Oak - Golden Oak Preacher, KR Incentive, TH Sherman to name a few.
We believe the genetics on offer in this year’s edition of Golden Opportunities are genuinely just that; an opportunity to purchase embryos and semen that are proven and are going to only continue to increase in value.

How to Bid On Farmgate Timed Auctions
How to Participate in the DLMS Farm Gate Timed Auction with Extended Bidding: 1. Visit www.dlms.ca , scroll down sale list to find the sale you are interested in bidding on. Click on the sale listing and you will be taken to the Farm Gate Timed Auction Sale page. 2. After you are at the Farm Gate Timed auction site - farmgatetimedauctions.ca, click the LOGIN/REGISTRATION button. First time Farm Gate users:
- First time 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. (please note due to some of the text notification features the Farm Gate Time Auction Site requires a new account separate account from your DLMS Live sale site)
- 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 username and password to continue. After you have logged in you are able to browse the timed auctions on DLMS Farm Gate Timed Auctions.
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.
- 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.
4. 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.
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.
We don’t want this to sound like a sermon at church, but Golden Oak Preacher 333L gained some followers with his first calf crop! Preacher is checking all the boxes; vigor, easy fleshing and tons of eye appeal. Both his bulls and females were in high demand in our recent Cattle In The Snow sale with a pair of high selling sons; Golden Oak Holy Joe 509N selling for $52,000 to Nueta Cattle Company and Pine Coulee Angus and Golden Oak Vintage 516N selling for $45,000 to Pieschel Farms. His high selling female, Golden Oak Erica 505N sold for $35,000 to Yeguada El Tres. 13 Preacher sired calves sold for an average of $24,000 this fall. Preachers full sisters created a buzz all fall as well; GO Magnolia 429M sold for $155,000 to River Valley at Cattle In The Snow and GO Magnolia 435M was the overall First Lady Classic Champion at Agribition for Murray Ranches. Preacher is doing everything we had hoped he would do and then some!

2D embryo’s have the potential to add that missing piece of the puzzle to a cowherd. Just when we think she has out produced herself, she gives us another one. Whether she’s giving us bulls or females, she gets it done time after time. Her progeny accomplishments are impressive to say the least. In four Cattle In The Snow Sales, 2D and her progeny have generated half a million dollars.

It would be hard to identify another cow who has created as much excitement as the Jada cow 115F has in the past 5 years. She continues to have high sellers and raise champions at Agribition still today. This mating has produced high sellers to Manchester Polled Herefords for $27,500 and James Rand had a Jada/Hodgeman who he campaigned very successfully! With Jada 115F and Hodgeman both being deceased, the value of this mating has gone up even more in value.

GO 4H
1C Whiplash has had a huge impact on our program producing females such as the $40,000 GO 4H female & GO 25G, the mom of GO Gangster, the $45,000 selling bull to JK Fraser. 1C was a staple in our donor pen and presence here is missed. Attention daughters really impress us with their maternal traits and presence. Don’t miss adding a Whiplash to your program.

4H is the high selling female from our first Cattle In The Snow sale for $40,000. She is a gorgeous uddered, stunning cow. She is super clean fronted yet has the perfect amount of capacity and still maintains that beautiful maternal look. We lost 4H’s mom, Whiplash 1C this year, so an opportunity to get into this cow family just became more important.
