AUCTION GUIDELINES Welcome to the WLB Internet Hereford Auction. Each year we try to create an easy to work with online auction process.

Please read the following instructions and recommendations. If you have any trouble or questions, be sure to give us a call at 204 763 4697 or email: wlblivestock@inetlink.ca WLB INTERNET AUCTION DATES AND TIMES The auction has been set to run from 9:00 a.m. CT (central time)on Thursday, October 2nd with the Internet close out to start with the first lot at 7:00 p.m. CDT Monday, October 6. We will then proceed to sell each lot using either a 30 or 45 second bidding clock until all lots are sold. Meaning once the pre announced time has expired without a bid that heifer will be considered sold to the last highest bidder. A sale order will be posted sometime Monday morning.

If you don’t have computer access, phone in bids will be accepted at the numbers listed on the terms and conditions page in the back of this catalogue. Be sure to register early to allow the necessary time to be put in to the system.

HOW TO PARTICIPATE  In order to participate in the online auction you will need to pre-register and obtain a buyer number.  To do this, go to the LiveAuctions website, www.liveauctions.tv, and select WLB Livestock Online Auction.  After logging in the buyer registration form should pop up automatically. If it doesn’t there is a link you can select that says, “register for a buyer number”.  This form requires you to fill out your banks name, city, state, phone number and a contact.  You may register to bid after bidding has opened but please remember that authorization to bid is not instantaneous.

HOW THE AUCTION WORKS  Once you have a username and have received a buyer number then you are ready to bid. You will see a screen that is unique to your user ID.  There will be a list containing the sale lots. If you click on a lot the video clip or photo will be displayed to the right.

The next bid, current price, proxy bid, and manual bid buttons will be displayed below the video area. This page will react to your bids by stating, “you are in” or “you are out”.  No one else will be able to see your bid – that data is not accessible to the public.  Each time you login, the auction screen will display your personal bidding information. Your auction screen is unique and private displaying your activity to only you.  Remember that you must have the lot that you are bidding on selected. This is where it tells you if you are in or out. It is here where you can also see your proxy bid settings(as applicable).

WHAT IS A PROXY BID? With a proxy bid you can enter your maximum bid and then sit back and watch. When you enter a proxy bid amount the LiveAuctions system automatically bids on your behalf up to your maximum bid. If the lot closes out for less than your maximum, that’s all you pay. This means that you don’t have to keep coming back to re-bid every time another bid is placed. This makes it more convenient and less time consuming. It can also greatly assist those breeders that can’t be near a computer or are busy with other duties at the time of the final bidding.

Your maximum amount is kept confidential from other bidders and the seller. Even though you can see this amount on your screen no one else can. The LiveAuctions system compares your bid to those of the other registered bidders and the system automatically places bids on your behalf, using only as much of your bid as is necessary to maintain your high bid position. The system will bid only up to your maximum amount as necessary to maintain you as the high bidder. If another bidder has a higher maximum, you’ll be outbid and the system will tell you that “YOU’RE OUT”. But, if no other bidder has a higher maximum you win the final bid.

The final close out bidding process When the bidding starts The bidding clock will run for a pre announced time (usually 30 or 45 seconds) or until there is a bid at which time the clock will rewind to its original 30 or 45 seconds.

For example: if the bidding clock gets down to 1 second remaining then a higher bid is submitted, the clock will then restart.

This rewind process will continue with each bid received until the allotted time elapses without a bid. Then the lot will be considered sold. Each year we receive a few calls after the sale from breeders were interested in bidding on a heifer but failed to watch the bidding clock and let the bidding time expire. So if you are interested in a particular heifer be sure to submit your bid while there is still time on the clock. This is where using the proxy bid can come in handy insuring you do not miss a bid!

LiveAuctions staff will also be happy to answer your questions.

Lego is about more than just calving ease. Lego is a heavy pigmented, athletic, individual that passes his muscle shape, performance, and natural thickness on to his progeny. Lego is aggressive in his working domain but very passive when handled. Lego makes herd building fun & easy!

Lego’s positive influence will continue at WLB as we plan to walk one Lego son as well as two Lego grand sons plus continue to use Anser and Easy Street through AI .

Lego’s progeny are proof he can stand with the top of his breed.

You are buying 100% possession. No semen interest will sell with this lot. Semen interest will remain the property of Semex.

We would be happy to answer any questions you may have.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Junior breeders incentive payment: Nancy and I are pleased to offer to all junior buyers of a WLB INTERNET HEIFER(Canada and US) a $100 payment upon receiving a picture of you showing your WLB Internet heifer at any show. While we wish you the best you do not have to win a championship or a class but you do have to participate in a cattle show of your choosing and you do have to send us a photo (email preferred). All photos become the property of WLB and may be used in WLB promotions.

Herd Health: All WLB cattle have had Ivomec and are vaccinated with Express 5/Somnugen modified live vaccine and Covexin plus blackleg.

Payment: No animals shall leave WLB until full payment has been received. Any heifers remaining at WLB because of payment still owing after 30 days will be charged a room and board fee of $7/day. We remind you that all heifers are at the buyers risk 24 hours after the sale. Please insure your purchases.

Insurance: Buyers can insure their purchases with their chosen representative or we can forward appropriate information to Lois McRae who represents Livestock Insurance Managers, Saskatoon, SK. Please let us know if you would like us to contact Lois on your behalf.

Delivery: Every assistance will be given to help in the shipment of your purchase. Your heifers are welcome to remain at WLB for a reasonable time, until shipping arrangements can be made.

Certificate of Registration: Each animal will carry papers issued by the Canadian Hereford Association, which can be transferred to the American Hereford Association. A certificate of registry duly transferred will be furnished to the buyer for each animal after payment has been made.

Guarantee: Each animal becomes the purchaser’s risk 24 hours after the sale. All animals in the sale are sold under the terms and guarantees set forth by the Canadian Hereford Association with regard to health, freedom from defects and from both reproductive and genetic unsoundness. All females selling in this sale are guaranteed to be free of the three genetic abnormalities as listed by the CHA and AHA. At no time will the seller be responsible for more than the original purchase price. Please call us if you have any questions about our guarantee.

Breeding Guarantee: All heifers are guaranteed breeders however, in recognition that overfeeding can be detrimental to the reproductive ability of a young female, if we feel that heifer has been fed to an extreme level of obesity for the show ring, we will hold the feeder responsible for any reproductive problems and therefore no longer be responsible to guarantee that particular animal.

Phone in bids: We realize not everyone has Internet access or is comfortable conducting business online. If this applies to you, you are invited to phone in your bids. However we ask that you contact us and let us know of your intention well ahead of the sale so we can manage the phone calls to the benefit of all phone in participants.

Your phone contacts are: Bill Biglieni H:204 763 4697 C:204 729 7925 Wilf Davis H:204 834 2479 C:204 841 0211 Tom Biglieni(US rep)417 827 8482 US buyer information:  Exchange rate: Bidding will be done in Canadian dollars. Due to the ups and downs that have taken place between the US and Cad dollar the appropriate exchange rate will be posted at the start of this sale on Thursday morning October 3rd.

Delivery to U.S. buyers: Listed below is important information for our U.S. buyers. We ask you to read and familiarize yourself with this information. Feel free to call us if you have any questions regarding the heifers and their delivery.

1. We have exported a number of cattle to the US and are familiar with the necessary arrangements needed to cross the border. If a U.S. buyer wishes for WLB to arrange shipping we will do so to the best of our ability. Part of arranging US shipments is dealing with specific dates and times that cattle have to meet US trucks. Taking advantage of these opportunities can help keep your shipping cost within reason. If these opportunities are missed then this means individual animals may have to bear the entire cost of being shipped to their U.S. destination. Prompt payment insures your heifer is available to take advantage of these shipping opportunities when they arise.

2. Homeland security regulations continue to cause added paper work and increased broker costs. We are happy to assist with the paperwork and getting your purchases across the border. In lieu of U.S. Customs and brokerage charges: US buyers will be charged $350 for each animal purchased along with the purchase price, which will go toward the export cost. WLB will then cover all additional cost including (veterinary charges) above this amount including trucking cost to the U.S. port of entry at Dunseith, N.D. This charge is based upon the assumption that all U.S. bound heifers will be exportable across the border in one shipment.

Any U.S. heifers remaining at WLB due to late payment will then be charged for all export cost and additional examinations by the veterinarian.

3. All trucking from the US port of entry to the buyer’s final destination will be the responsibility of the buyer.

4. Please provide to us the following information, which is needed to satisfy the U.S. customs office and brokers.

Full name, complete address, phone number, and social security number

Thanks for your support!
