ONLINE BIDDING INFORMATION 

The CTHS Divisions (Ontario, Manitoba, Alberta and B.C.), will be providing online bidding again in 2022 for all of our yearling sales with Direct Livestock Marketing Systems (DLMS) hosting this service.

DLMS is an internet marketing company specializing in real time internet auction sales and is part of the largest livestock marketing network in Canada. DLMS offers instant bidding, streaming live audio and video; creating a live auction experience from the safety of purchasers' computer, tablet or mobile devices.

In offering online bidding we can invite a larger audience to participate in our yearling sales. On-site viewing day(s) will still be held prior to the sale date which will allow for interested purchasers to view consignments. Those purchasers who are not able to attend viewing day(s) will be able to view consignments through online videos and pedigrees posted on both the CTHS Division’s websites and DLMS website (http://dlms.ca/default.aspx).
