Jr. Livestock Auction

What is the Jr. Livestock Auction?

How do I Participate?

As a Buyer – The auction is an exciting and rewarding way to participate. All animals sold at the auction are sold by the head, not by weight. There are two ways to purchase at the Jr. Livestock Auction:

1) Attend in person – The auction is an exciting and rewarding way to participate and support local youth.

2) Attend by proxy – If you are unable to attend the auction yourself, a Fair Board Member can be assigned to bid for you through a proxy bid. Contact the Jr. Livestock Auction Chair for further details.

How Does it Work?

If you are interested in participating in the Jr. Livestock Auction, there are a few things to know. First, you must be registered as a buyer. Contact the Auction Chair or the Montrose County Fairgrounds to register. Next, decide how you want to buy:

1) For your own use – you are buying valley raised meat! We highly recommend that you keep the animal for your own use. If you chose this route, you let the check-out team know where you want your animal processed following the auction. Keep in mind that there will be fees associated with the processing of the animal.

2) Buy back – if you do not want to keep the meat, the buy-back option is for you. The Jr. Auction committee has made arrangements with local buyers to purchase the buy-back animals at current market prices. The buy-back amount will be deducted from your final invoice.

What Happens After the Auction?

After the auction has concluded, buyers must check-out. At this time each buyer will be asked:

1) Are you participating in the buy-back program or sending it to the processor?

2) If you are having the animal processed, you will be asked to select a processor. We work with two awesome local processors Good’s Processing and Homestead Meats. Remember there will be additional costs associated with the processing.

3) Finally, you will be asked for payment. We accept cash, checks, or credit cards. All credit card purchases will have a 3.5 percent convenience fee added to the final bill

Are There Other Ways to Participate?

If you are interested in participating, but don’t want to purchase an animal, there are other ways to support the auction:

1) Add on contributions – If you know the youth participant you want to support, the add-on contributions are a great way to participate. You can add-on money to a participant’s final sale check prior to, during, or after the auction. Only contributions over $250 will be announced during the auction.

2) Stockmen’s Buyers Club – If you are interested in supporting the kids, but not necessarily a specific one, the Buyers Club is a great option. Your annual membership fees go to assuring each animal going through the auction sells for a minimum price. For more information on the Buyers Club visit montrosecountyfairandrodeo.com
