How can you be involved ?
1 . Purchase and Resell . Most buyers purchase an animal for a premium and resell it to a local packer at the market price . The difference between the purchase price and the sale price is a donation made to the 4-H / FFA market livestock sale . A local packer guarantees to buy all animals at the fair and it takes no special effort on your part to resell the animal .
2 . Outright Purchase For Home Use . For those who want the animal for home use , indicate on the sale slip where the animal should be butchered . They will contact the name listed on the buyer ’ s receipt .
You don ’ t have to be present at the sale to participate . . .
Livestock Auction Association members are available to buy in your behalf , following your instructions and limits . If you would like more information , please contact one of the members of the Livestock Auction Association or the Extension Office .
