ABOUT THE JUNIOR LIVESTOCK AUCTION

Each year 4-H and FFA youth exhibitors purchase one or more animals to raise and show at the Livestock Shows held during the annual Galveston County Fair & Rodeo.  The youth exhibitors encounter the cost of feed, grooming supplies, shelter and any other needs required by their show animal.  Show animal projects also require the time and dedication of the youth exhibitors who do their best to raise their animals in anticipation of being named “Champion”. 

The top youth winners of seven different livestock shows – Rabbits, Chickens, Turkeys, Swine, Lambs, Goats and Steers – will sell their animals in the Junior Livestock Auction which will be held on Wednesday, April 14, 2010 at 7:00 p.m. with a Buyers’ Reception beginning at 5:00 p.m.  A Buyer can be an individual, company or business, and can expect to spend as little as $500 for an animal. 

We encourage anyone who is interested in participating as a buyer to contact us.  We will be glad to place you on our auction invitation list or you can sign up the night of the auction.  Please bring a business card with you to registration.

TERMS OF SALE

 Bidding:  All animals sell to the highest bidder.  Any disputes or questions regarding bids will be settled by the Auctioneer and his decision will be final.  All animals will be sold by the head or pen.

Purchase Information:  Invoices must be signed by the Buyer with the completed information regarding disposition of the animals, Buyer’s name, billing address, contact phone number and purchase price.

Processing:  For processing of steers, swine, lambs and goats, the Buyer is responsible for their choice of processor, contacting the processor for processing instructions, paying all processing charges, providing their own transportation for their processed animal, and picking up their processed animal in the time allotted by the processor.  Once the animal is delivered to the processor in the buyer’s name, processing becomes the liability of the Buyer.  The youth exhibitors are responsible for the processing of rabbits, broilers and turkeys and making arrangements for the delivery of these animals to the buyer or the donation location indicated by the buyer.

Donated Animals:  Please indicate the name, address and phone number of the charity or group that is to receive the donated animal.  The Buyer agrees to pay all processing charges for steers, swine, lambs and goats.

Payment:  The Buyer is requested to make payment in full at the time of sale unless approved arrangements have been made prior to the sale.  If the buyer is billed for their purchases, payment is due upon receipt of the invoice.  All payments should be made to GCF&R - VISA & MASTERCARD accepted.  The youth exhibitors will be paid by GCF&R.

THANK YOU TO OUR BUYERS

The success of the Junior Livestock Auction would not be possible without the help of our generous sponsors and the support of the many individuals, businesses and companies who purchase the animals.  The Galveston County Fair & Rodeo wishes to thank you for your past and continued support for the youth of Galveston County.
