BUYER INFORMATION
How do I become a buyer?
Fill out a buyer’s card at the registration desk to obtain your bid paddle.
What is a pool?
A pool is a group of buyers pooling their money to purchase animals. If you would like to add to the PCLIA Buyers Pool, please contact LEONARD DEBUSK 817-629-5992
Can several buyers go together to buy an animal?
Yes, they may form their own pool. Cards may be filled out before the sale.
When is payment due?
Purchases may be paid at the end of the sale or paid upon receipt of invoice.
How much of the proceeds go to the kids?
Ninety percent of sale proceeds go to the exhibitor. The remaining 10% goes for scholarships, operating expenses, maintenance, and the building fund.
What is a floor?
Floor prices are on a bid basis due on the Friday prior to the show week. The floor price of each species is announced on Monday of the show. It is the price guaranteed to the exhibitor for the sale lots that are sent to the floor by the buyer. Example: If the floor price of sheep is $1.50/lb and Lamb weighs 150, the floor price would be $1.50 x 150 = $225.
Is there a minimum amount one can spend?
There is no minimum bid at the sale. Buyer can spend whatever they would like, and “add-on” money can be added to the exhibitors projects by filling out an add-on form.
What are the future needs of the PCLIA? Many of the buildings on the PCLIA grounds are currently over 70 years old. An update of facilities for the safety of exhibitors, buyers, and spectators is of importance due to old and outdated utilities and equipment. We also need to facilitate the future growth of our organization. 10. Why are so many animals auctioned off? A percentage of each species are sold to help as many Parker County kids as possible. 11. Can a buyer write off their purchase to the IRS? Yes. The PCLIA is a 501(c) non-profit organization. 12. Does a buyer have to be present to purchase a lot? No. Buyers may leave bids with someone to bid for them.
Is PCLIA a non-profit?
Yes, we are a 501(c) non-profit organization.
