If you were not a buyer in 2023 or 2024 contact the office at 707-678-5529 to register as a buyer and to gain admission tickets for the sale. If you are buying for someone else you will need a "Buyer Proxy Form", contact the fair office to obtain one.

On sale day pick up a sales catalog which lists all the sellers by lot number and the weight of their animal.

Pick up a buyers number, this will enable you to bid on animals in the sale. Bids are by DOLLARS AND/OR

CENTS PER pound for beef, goats, sheep and swine (Example -2.00 per pound x 240 pounds= $480) Rabbits are sold by the pen (Example -1 pen of 3 rabbits bid is$200).

When the animal of your choice enters the sale ring simply raise your buyer number indicating your desire to purchase the animal at the price the auctioneer is announcing. The highest bidder gets the animal. If you need assistance bidding please ask for help from the ringman in the ring.

CUSTOM PROCESSING -the animal will be processed, inspected and delivered to one of the butcher shops in the area. You will need to indicate your preference of butcher shops and make arrangements with them for cutting instructions. Any  animal that is left over 10 days at a butcher shop may be disposed of at the discretion of that shop. If you purchase a custom processed animal, an additional processing fee applies and will be reflected on your invoice from the fair. You are also responsible for the cut and wrap fee to be paid to the butcher shop when you pick the animal up. 

RESALE - animals that are bought by individuals who do not desire the meat will be resold at market price to the packer for a set per pound price and that amount is then subtracted from the buyer's bill by the fair. 

THERE IS NO LIVE ANIMAL PICK-UP.
