BUYERS
To our buyers...
we would like to extend our deepest gratitude for your continued support and generous contributions.
CCJLA provides our youth with an incredible opportunity to learn responsibility, dedication, and the value of hard work through raising and showing market animals. These experiences build not only future agricultural leaders but strong, capable individuals who carry these lessons throughout their lives.
None of this would be possible without you—our buyers.
Your support not only helps our exhibitors financially but also shows them that their hard work matters and that their community believes in them.
Thank you for being such an important part of this journey. We truly appreciate your investment in the future of our youth and agriculture.
BUYERS INFORMATION
AUCTION BUYERS GUIDE
We deeply appreciate all the generous people who help to fund our show.
Everyone who purchases an animal at our sale plays an important role in supporting the youth who participate. If you would like to purchase one or more of the animals exhibited at our show, please register your bid(s). Once you have registered as a buyer you can bid in our live auction at the show. If you are unable to attend the auction you can record your bid amount in your registration. Your bid will be recognized during the auction but you may be outbid by live participants.
All bids are tax deductible for the amount above market value. CCJLA will provide each bidder with a financial statement that can be used in tax preparation.
The price you bid represents your total price. All butcher fees, transport fees, and any other costs are paid by the exhibitor. If you bid $6 on a 300 pound swine, your total cost will be $1800. Your meat will be prepared according to your instructions and personally delivered to your door.
Each species in the sale has weight restrictions. Animals below the minimum weight are not allowed in the show. At the same time, any weight above a species' pay-to limit is not considered in the sale price of that animal. So, for example, a bid of $7 on a 125 pound goat will incur a total of $7 x 115 pounds. The weight limits are as follows:
Goat 50- 115 Lamb 100-160 Steer 1000-1450 Swine 230-300
It typically costs a youth a significant amount of money to purchase, feed, and care for their animal. We hope that you will be generous in helping each youth make some profit on their months of effort. Feel free to ask an exhibitor what their costs have been for their project.
