Terms and Conditions of Sale

1. Each buyer should register in advance of the sale. A complete address and phone number is needed.
2. Terms of sale are cash or check at the time of the sale.
3. The decision of the auctioneer is final in the case of a disputed bid.
4. Buyers who wish to purchase an animal for their own use will be charged the total bid price. These animals must be paid for before leaving the fairgrounds. Arrangements can be made at the Fair for transportation. For assistance, contact a member of the Salt Lake County Junior Livestock Committee.
5. The Salt Lake County Junior Livestock Committee has arranged for a Contractor to buy auction animals at the floor price, which is near the current market price. The total price paid for an animal is usually a combination of the floor price and a boost price. Sponsors who wish to boost the bid beyond the floor price will be charged only for the amount above the floor price with the livestock contractor paying the floor price and receiving the animal.
6. Many bids are a combination of multiple boosters arranged before the auction. Junior Livestock Exhibitors are encouraged to find their own sponsors for the Booster bids and to have someone present to do the bidding. In the case of multiple boosters on a single animal the total should be combined into one bid and be under one bidder's signature and paid with one check. Each booster will be recognized at the auction and be included on the official list of buyers if they meet the $100 minimum.
7. The person making the winning bid will sign for the final price of the animal and be responsible for full payment. All payments are due within seven days of the sale. The Salt Lake County Fair prefers payment at the time of the auction but will bill bidders/boosters spending $500 or more. Collection and payment to Salt Lake County Junior Livestock of all amounts are the responsibility of the person signing for the animal at the price bid. These payments should be made at the time of the sale.
8. Except for the Grand, Reserve and Third place animals, no additional boost money will be accepted after the final bid is taken by the auctioneer.
9. Members of the Salt Lake County Junior Livestock Committee are available to help you with bidding procedures or any question you may have. Please feel free to contact any of them.
