There will be two registration lines in the arena -- one for new buyers and a separate line for the pre-registered buyers who receive a packet in the mail. The ladies at the registration table will remove the registration form from your bidder cards. Each buyer will receive a maximum of two admission passes per registration form, the wristbands must be worn in the arena at all times. New Buyers must pay a $300 buyer registration fee at the gate, this amount will be credited toward their bill.

All buyers must be registered and have a number to use for bidding. Instant recognition can be given to buyers using this number. The name registered to that number will be used for recognition and billing purposes. Should this name not be satisfactory, please make the change prior to the conclusion of the sale. Those buyers that lose or misplace a number may obtain another at the registration table. Also, should you lose or misplace your number someone else might try to use it. All new buyers will pay a $300 registration fee at the Arena Gate, this fee will be credited to the buyer's account.

All projects will be sold by the head. No animal sold in the Auction Sale is to sell higher than the Grand Champion. The Reserve Grand Champion will not be allowed to sell higher than the Grand Champion, and no other animal will be allowed to sell for more than the Reserve Champion. In the event that there is a dispute as to the highest bidder, the Auctioneer has the right to settle the dispute and his decision will be final.
