EL PASO COUNTY JUNIOR LIVESTOCK AUCTION TERMS
BEEF, SHEEP, SWINE, and POULTRY will be offered as TERMINAL ONLY. All animals will be offered for sale and will transfer ownership to the highest paying bidder. Winning Buyer designates one of the following two options: CUSTOM HARVEST OR BUYBACK. Please click on the "DOCUMENTS" button below to see the Sale Catalog, which provides additional information regarding the Terms of the Sale, Custom Meat Processor information and Sale Order.
RABBITS will be offered as a PREMIUM ONLY disposition. The market rabbit show had to be cancelled this year due to the detection in Colorado of Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease Virus type 2 (RHDV- 2). While RHDV-2 does NOT affect humans or domestic species other than rabbits, it is highly contagious and lethal among rabbits. As a result, in order to allow our Rabbit Exhibitors to participate in the Junior Market Sale this year the Sale format will be PREMIUM ONLY. No project will be offered or transfer ownership. The winning bid is a donation from the Buyer to the Exhibitor.
ADD-ON OPTION: AN ADDITIONAL WAY TO PARTICIPATE AND SUPPORT THE EXHIBITORS
If you wish to support the exhibitors but are unable to purchase an animal, you have the option to do “Add-On” money. If you choose this option, you can add a set dollar amount to a specific or multiple exhibitors.
