Bidding System

We will utilize a Premium Bidding System. The bidding will be per head rather than per pound, which will allow you to know what you are paying without having to calculate a per pound total cost. The market value (usually based on per 100 lbs.) of the animal will be determined and posted before the sale. The bidding will start at a certain amount ABOVE market value. As usual, you have two options with the animal once purchased:
1. Keep the animal (for your eating enjoyment)
If you decide to keep the animal, YOU must be listed on the buyer’s card along with a phone number. You pay the market
value price (set by the packer) PLUS your bid. You must also contact a hauler and make arrangements with them. For
example: Winner’s Meats: 419-582-4321, Curly’s Meats: 937-596-6518
2. Resell the animal to the fair packer. If you choose the resell option, you only pay the bid amount.

Note: Rabbits, Chickens, Ducks, Turkeys do not have a market value base bid, so the “final premium bid” is the “total price buyer pays”.

When the highest bid is taken, that will end the sale of that animal with the animal going to that buyer or group of buyers from a previously completed “Multiple Buyer Form” only.

MULTIPLE BUYER FORMS

If you are buying as a group you must have all of the buyers listed on a Multiple Buyer Form with their CORRECT buyer number and the amount each is paying. If you are keeping the animal, we will need to know which buyer is keeping it and the processor and hauler. Please note, as a buyer you should not have exhibitors or parents coming around with this form asking you for bids. These forms are to be for buyers use only. Please let us know if this problem occurs.

Add-On Bids

Please note that we will be using a new system to collect Add-On bids. Add ons will open July 21 at noon and remain open until August 7 at 7pm.  The list of exhibitors can be found at https://www.bwfinaldrive.com/auctions during this time-window.

Buyer Information

If you purchased at last year’s sale, you will already have a bidder number assigned to you. You will just need to check in the day of the sale to get your number. If you wish to do add-on bids, please follow the instructions for new buyers.
