LIVESTOCK CONSIGNMENTS All 4-H and FFA members must consign their livestock by Thursday at 2:00 p.m.! All market animals must be accounted for on the consignment form. This means that you’ll need to tell us what animals are going home, what animals will be selling, what an-imals will be shipping, and what animals will be going to a locker plant. Be sure to ac-count for all market animals at the fair, even those that may not have made weight or shown!

Consignment Options: SHIP ANIMALS: Any animals that were not sold in the sale and are within the department weight limits are eligible to be shipped with oth-er fair animals for a pre-arranged buyback price. These prices are posted in the Extension office and have been pre-arranged through the sale committee. Transportation is arranged for these animals. All shipped animals will be charged a ship fee of $5/hd.

LOCKER ANIMALS: If you are planning to send your animal to a locker plant, it is your responsi-bility to set up an appointment with the locker and make arrangements for transportation. Some lockers will pick up sale animals so you can check to see if that is an option. If you need a list of local lockers, please contact the Exten-sion office today.

JUNIOR LIVESTOCK SALE: Each member may consign up to two animals for the sale (can not be from the same species). Animals must make weight and be shown in regular market classes to be eligible for sale. The sale will con-sist of three “rounds”.

The second and third round will be randomly generated but all exhibitors will have a chance to sell in the first or second round before spots are drawn for the third round.

SALE RULES! All exhibitors must show in

showmanship class in the species they are selling in the

sale. Any exhibitor who chooses not to show in showmanship in a specific species will not be allowed to sell in that species. No Catch It animals will be allowed to sell. Only the Champion and Reserve Champion Market Rabbit and Poultry will be allowed to sell.

Junior Livestock Sale Requirements

NEW SALE RULES Just a reminder that the sale is limited to 144 total lots. If there are more than 144 lots con-signed, exhibitors will be chosen based upon on class placing.
