About us.

Robert Lind

Timberlind Auctions is owned by Robert and Carol Lind.  Robert was born and raised at Buck Creek, not far from where the Timberlind Sale Yard is presently located.

Robert graduated from the Western Canadian School of Auctioneering in Calgary on October 3, 1998 and was voted as the class president at that time.  He joined the Auctioneers Association of Alberta and in January of 1999, he won the Tyro Contest for New Auctioneers in Alberta at the Alberta Auctioneer’s Convention.

At that time, Timberlind Auctions was incorporated and had their first machinery consignment sale on the farm May Long Weekend and the next on September Long Weekend and have developed the sale yard into a permanent facility.  This year marks the 25th Anniversary of these annual sales. Last spring was the largest sale ever with just over 400 consignors and just under 6,000 people in attendance.

They also have about 20 farm sales around the Drayton Valley area annually.

Robert and Carol truly appreciate the time and effort their staff have put in over the past years.
They have a great group of sales staff that have been part of their sales team for many years.

Don Oberg – Auctioneer/Ringman – 25 Years
Terry Sargent – Auctioneer/Ringman – 23 Years
Darryl Snider – Auctioneer/Ringman – 15 Years
Mark Stock – Ringman – 15 Years
Terry Leeder – Ringman – 25 Years
Anita Hopfe – Office Assistant – 25 Years
Alice Fenton – Office Assistant – 25 Years
Kelly Leeder – Clerical – 15 Years
Mike Kwirant – Auction Mechanic & Setup – 23 Years
Roger Leeder – Auction Mechanic & Setup – 23 Years

Many other people assist with their two major consignment auctions but there are too many to list, and without these people, Timberlind Auctions would not be the success that it is today and as well known around Alberta for these sales.

From October to March in the farm sale off season Robert works with Transcon Livestock & Bohrson Marketing. They manage Purebred Simmental sales, selling bulls in the spring and females in the fall. He has auctioned Simmental Cattle across Canada, from a sale in Abbotsford, British Columbia to a sale at Chester Basin, Nova Scotia and many sales in between, but mostly in Alberta over the last 25 years.

Robert and Carol really enjoy the auction business meeting so many great people in many different industries.
