How does the sale work?

1.      RESALE Arrangements have been made for buyers who indicate livestock to be resold to pay only the DIFFERENCE between their bid price and market price.

2.     HAVE PROCESSED FOR OWN USE

The buyer may indicate to have their purchase processed for their own use.  The buyer must indicate where they want their animals delivered.  The buyer is responsible to contact the processor and make arrangements:
