General Sale Rules
For further details please see the exhibitors handbook provided by the Walla Walla Fair and Frontier Days
• “Thank You” notes must be written to all individuals and/or business that supported and floored the Exhibitors animal. These must be presented in addressed and stamped envelopes to receive market stock sale checks from the Extension Office.
• A total of one animal per exhibitor may be sold. Exhibitors are responsible for care and health of sale animals until the close of the fair or until delivered to the buyer, whichever is later.
• Animals entered in sale classes are not to be shown in breeding classes. Sick animals will not be allowed in the sale ring.
• Exhibitors must pre-enter the appropriate Market Sale class on the Animal Entry form by August 5th, to be eligible to sell at the Youth Market Sale. However, a market animal is not deemed a “sale animal” until after it is judged and qualified. “Sale Animal” cards will be issued by the sale committee or ribbon clerk to the exhibitors of qualifying animals after each market class is judged.
• There will be a 4% commission charge on all sales, to be used for sale promotion, brand
inspection, advertising, insurance, clerical expenses and death loss occurring after an animal has been sold in the sale.
• Sale order will be: Beef, Lambs, Goats & Swine. Each species will begin with Grand Champion and Reserve Grand Champion selling first and second.
• If an exhibitor wishes to donate funds from their sale animal, provided it qualifies for the market sale, to an outside charity, they must contact the sale chairman two weeks in advance of the fair for approval.
• The announcement of this will only be made after the bidding of the market animal is complete.
• The buyers will be able to add-on money to the sale that will be combined with the donation amount from exhibitor/seller and contributed directly to the charity by the Walla Walla County Cattelmen’s in the name of exhibitor/seller. The 4% commission will apply to this donation.
• Beef and pork check-off money will be deducted from Exhibitors sale checks. Any animal sold at the sale and turned becomes the property of the floor buyer. There will be absolutely NO TAKE HOMES. This is a TERMINAL sale. All animals will go to designated custom processing or to floor buyer.
