How the Sale Works
You can register as a buyer the day of the Auction in the Market Building. You will be given a numbered card. To bid on an animal, raise your card once the sale begins for that animal.
A buyer may choose to purchase an animal to be custom slaughtered for their own use or may “boost” the animal, and a local packer will take the animal at current market price. The buyer then pays only the “boost” price, which is the difference between the selling price bid by the buyer and the actual market value of the animal. An individual may also choose to support the program by making a cash donation which the Auction Committee will pool and use to “boost” animals.
If you prefer, a member of the Auction Committee will be glad to take care of the bidding for you.

Terms and Conditions of Sale
Animals will be sold on a per head basis. The base price for each animal will be noted on the sale order, which is available the day of the Auction.
Payment must be received on all animals before being released to private individuals or packers, unless prior arrangements have been made with Fairpark management.
Buyers are required to make immediate payment upon receipt of State Fair invoice. Interest of 1.5% will be charged monthly on any amounts owing 30 days after date of the first invoice. The Utah State Fair reserves the right to refuse bids from, or sales to, any buyer.
The Jr Livestock Show Committee, auctioneer, and staff of Utah State Fair accept no liability for injury or death of sale animals. Animals are the responsibility of the exhibitor until the packer or individual buyer accepts ownership.
When an animal is declared as sold to the packer or the buyer in the sale ring, it becomes the property of the packer or buyer. Any changes must be done by private treaty with the packer or buyer and not involve the State Fair.
All sales are final. There will be no re-sale of animals.
Exhibitors may not be paid until payment has been received from the buyer.
In the event of a tie or dispute, the auctioneer’s decision will be final. All bids are to be made by bona fide bidders or by acceptance.
Booster or add-on bids on the Grand or Reserve Grand Champions after the original purchase has been made, will not be recognized from the podium or in print materials. Boosts will not be accepted on non-sale animals.

Animals, which are not eligible for the auction for any reason, are the responsibility of the exhibitor and will be released during normal release times beginning at 9:00 p.m. the evening of the judging date.
