After wining your lot, please provide a timely response to designate custom or resale. If we don't hear from you, your lot will automatically go resale. - See below for terms of sale. What are your options as a buyer? - The winning bidder of each lot will have the choice of (1) CUSTOM PROCESSED or (2) RESELLING THE ANIMAL. Details of each option are as follows: Option 1: CUSTOM PROCESSED The animal will be processed, inspected and delivered to one of the designated lockers in the area. You will need to indicate your preference of butcher shops and make arrangements with them for cutting instructions. Any animal that is left over 60 days at a butcher shop may be disposed of at the discretion of that shop. If you purchase a custom processed animal, an additional processing fee applies and will be reflected on your invoice from the fair. You are also responsible for the cut and wrap fee to be paid to the butcher shop when you pick the animal up. Option 2: RESELLING THE ANIMAL Animals that are bought by individuals who do not desire the meat will be resold at market price to the packer for a set per pound price and that amount is then subtracted from the buyer's bill by the fair. Example: Hog weighs 250lbs. If Resale Price is $.80/lb. which equals $200 Your Winning Bid Price is $4.00/lb ($1000); The difference is $800, which is the amount that you will be responsible for paying. Resale Prices: The resale amounts are calculated by the weight of the animal. The official certified weight will be listed on each lot. THERE IS NO LIVE ANIMAL PICK-UP!
