Resale Rules & Procedures

The President will form a committee to evaluate resale options prior to the sale.
Sale weight on steers will be the official weigh-in weight less 3% shrinkage. Market swine and wether sale weight will be the official weigh-in weight.
All animals must be resold and delivered to the resale buyer.
No Individual resale, custom kill, or retained ownership purchases are allowed. Except for Fat Steers.
Fat Steer Resale Procedures
1. Fat Steer exhibitors have first right of refusal on their own steer for processing. Please contact Wendy Bird by February 28 to reserve your steer. You may use your own processor; however ALL CATTLE must be processed within 45 days of sale day and a processing ticket given to Beef Superintendent within that time. This is a terminal show, therefore all cattle must be processed and cannot be shown after the conclusion of SRF.
2. Resale value will be determined using the Oklahoma Fat Steer Market price on the Monday of Market Week. All individuals will be contacted with their totals and monies will be collected by 3pm of sale day.
3. Remove the steer from the fairgrounds by 6:00p on Sale Day.

The sale order will provide for a mixed animal sale. A certain number of swine, then a number of fat calves, then a number of feeder calves, then a number of wethers, will sell. The numbers in each “cycle” will be determined by calculations based on total numbers in each category.
Grand Champions in each category will sell first, then Reserve Champions in each group. Entries in each category (swine, feeders, fats, wethers) will sell based on this order while maintaining the mixed animal “cycle” described in #1 above.
In an effort to make sale day less chaotic and stressful,
1. Only champion animals will be taken through the ring. Exhibitors must be with their animal when it enters the sale ring or their animal will receive resale price only.
2. All other sale animals will stay in the barn. Exhibitors must be inline and ready to sell their animal or their animal will receive resale price only.

Each animal will be sold separately to the highest bidder.
Auctioneer will determine the highest bidder and settle all disputes.
A resale price will be established and announced at the beginning of the sale. All resale credit will go to the exhibitor.
Any person buying animals for another party must sign their name to the purchase contract and is legally responsible for the payment of the bill.
