How do I buy?
Pick up a sale program at the auction to follow the sale order and identify kids you are interested in supporting.
Our dynamic auctioneer team will lead you through the process.
Bidding is easy: just raise your hand or buyer number when you want to bid.
Keep raising your hand / bidding until you are the last bidder or the price is higher than you are interested in paying.
Even if you are not the winning bidder, your bidding helps increase the price.
Buyers may choose to donate an additional premium of your choice, separate from buying the animal, to any FFA or 4-H members. See the Add-On form for more info.
How do I pay?
Please pay by cash, check or credit card the day of the sale.
There will be a 3% processing fee applied to credit cards.
You can complete an ACH form before the sale.
With advanced notice – invoicing may be arranged. Please speak in advance with Tom Stocksdale, 330-464-7596. [All invoices are due day of the sale unless prior arrangements are made, our 4-H and FFA members do not receive payments until all invoices are paid for by buyers.]
