WELCOME FROM BLACK CHROME LIVESTOCK
With huge gratitude we’d like to start by thanking all the great cattlemen that have showed interest in our program. Those of you that have stopped by for a bull pen tour or toured our program during the summer months we appreciate seeing you. Our bulls are breeding in some well-respected cow herds. It’s a pleasure hearing feedback about the bulls and how they have worked out. We welcome you all to join us for our 4th Annual Black Chrome Livestock Bull Sale, once again hosted online with DLMS Farm Gate Timed Auctions.
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.
We feel we have put together a very unique offering this year. One that is deep in quality and offering outcross pedigrees. Our cattle are not pampered. We focus in on our breeding goals, aiming to create females that are sound footed, maintenance free and produce a quality calf each year, all while doing it efficiently. We strive to produce bulls that are strikingly eye appealing, big middled, sound footed and great tempered. We appreciate cattle that are easy doing and efficient feed converters. Our efforts are with the customer in mind producing bulls with moderate birthweights and big weaning weights.
We truly hope you can stop by the farm to evaluate the bulls for yourself, however if you are unable to make it, please don’t hesitate to call. It would be our pleasure to discuss with you the offering and their dams. We have a wide variety of options to fit everyone’s breeding program requirements and want to ensure that you get the bull that best suits your operation
Black Chrome Livestock
FROM THE DESK AT T BAR C
The Black Chrome Livestock program is built with both purebred and commercial cattlemen in mind. Their goal has been consistent: produce sires that add pounds and quality at weaning — a standard they continue to achieve. Throughout this uniform offering, buyers will appreciate the consistency in type and kind across both the Angus and Simmental offering.
This year’s lineup is the strongest offering to date; this group is consistent and stouter than ever! They continue the blend of unique and proven pedigrees featuring key traits that continue to move the program forward. Calving ease is prevalent throughout the sale bulls, yet these genetics do not sacrifice performance. Balance with performance should always be sought after.
Black Chrome Livestock should be on every short list when shopping for your next sire or sires. Thickness and muscle, plenty of hair, strong scrotal development, easy fleshing ability, and efficient conversion are just a few of the reasons to take notice — not to mention style and eye appeal.
Cache and Jill would love you to stop by the ranch any time prior to the sale to preview the bulls and their dams.
If we at T Bar C can be of any assistance before or on sale day, please don’t hesitate to contact any member of our team. We are pleased to assist in a professional and confidential manner.

Stars Calving Ease
**** Bull with high level of calving ease based on dam and sire history, actual birth weight and EPD of birth weight
*** Bull who can be used on heifers or cows
** Bulls who can be used on cows
* Bulls who should only be used on cows – expect larger birth weights

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. 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.

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.
