Bidding System

We will utilize a Premium Bidding System. The bidding will be per head rather than per pound, which will allow you to know what you are paying without having to calculate a per pound total cost. The market value (usually based on per 100 lbs.) of the animal will be determined and posted before the sale. The bidding will start at a certain amount ABOVE market value. As usual, you have two options with the animal once purchased:
1. Keep the animal (for your eating enjoyment)
If you decide to keep the animal, YOU must be listed on the buyer’s card along with a phone number. You pay the market
value price (set by the packer) PLUS your bid. You must also contact a hauler and make arrangements with them. For
example: Winner’s Meats: 419-582-4321, Curly’s Meats: 937-596-6518
2. Resell the animal to the fair packer. If you choose the resell option, you only pay the bid amount.

Note: Rabbits, Chickens, Ducks, Turkeys do not have a market value base bid, so the “final premium bid” is the “total price buyer pays”.

When the highest bid is taken, that will end the sale of that animal with the animal going to that buyer or group of buyers from a previously completed “Multiple Buyer Form” only.

MULTIPLE BUYER FORMS

If you are buying as a group you must have all of the buyers listed on a Multiple Buyer Form with their CORRECT buyer number and the amount each is paying. If you are keeping the animal, we will need to know which buyer is keeping it and the processor and hauler. Please note, as a buyer you should not have exhibitors or parents coming around with this form asking you for bids. These forms are to be for buyers use only. Please let us know if this problem occurs.

Add-On Bids

Add-On Bid forms can be used to submit a donation to a specific youth exhibitor. You can find these printable and online forms under the Add-On Tab of this site. These forms are a convenient way to add a bid onto an exhibitor. Exhibitors are not notified of these additional bid amounts until they receive their fair premium check in October. There will be absolutely no add-on bids accepted in the sale arena. Reminder: Add-On bids placed prior to 11:59 p.m. on Wednesday, July 26 will be shown on the screen in the ring during the sale. These names will NOT be read during the sale, just listed on the screen. The deadline will be strongly enforced. Add-on amounts must start at $25.00 minimum. We can NOT display buyer names without the amount of the donation. If you do not wish to have the amount of your add-on bid displayed, please make note so that we do not process it until after the sale.
