4H Silent Auction

New in 2006, in addition to the 4-H Livestock Sale, there is now a Silent Auction for the 4-H exhibitors, which participate in the Armada Fair with their poultry and rabbit projects.  As always, the Grand and Reserve Champions will be sold at the 4-H Livestock Sale.

1)      All turkeys, geese, chickens, ducks, and rabbits (meat pens, fryers, roasters), which received an “A” Grade will be allowed to participate in the sale.

2)      The Silent Auction will take place on Friday, August 15, 2008, from 2:00 pm until 6:00 pm.

3)      Bidder registration will take place in Barn #15 (4-H Livestock Barn).  Your bidder number will work for both the Silent Auction and the normal 4-H Livestock Sale.

4)      Animals will stay in their respective barns with a clipboard on the cages to be sold.  Minimum bid of $25.00 per cage of chicken and rabbit fryers and roasters and ducks. Minimum bid of $50.00 for turkeys, with bids increasing in five-dollar increments after initial bid.  Bidder is buying the entire cage (i.e. three turkeys in a meat pen cage).

Bidder will write his or her number and bid on the paper provided at each cage.  Remember to check your bid frequently as another bidder may have raised the offer to purchase.

5)      Buyers will be responsible for the animal processing cost, which will be added to the final sale price.

6)      Payment for purchases will be from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm on day of the sale in Barn #15.

7)      Buyer will be responsible for picking up of the processed animals at:
