those that may not have made weight or

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 other 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 responsibility 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 Extension 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

have a chance to sell in the first or second
round before spots are drawn for the third
round.
