ONLINE LIVESTOCK SALE INFORMATION
Proceed to the Elko County Fairgrounds at the allotted time:
Pigs: unload from 3-5PM - your animal(s) will be ear tagged during unloading and you will be asked to provide the student name for the ear tag/pig. We will place your pig in a holding pen until the livestock hauler shows up. Please only allow one person to get out of the vehicle and help unload/tell us what pig belongs to what seller. Once unloaded you will depart.
Lamb: 5-6PM - your animal(s) will be ear tagged during unloading and you will be asked to provide the student name for the ear tag/lamb. We will place your lamb in a holding pen until the livestock truck shows up. Please only allow one person to get out of the vehicle and help unload/tell us what lamb belongs to what seller. Once unloaded you will depart.
Steer: 6-6:45PM - please keep your steer tied up to your trailer until we are ready to load, the best way to load them is going to be for the parent to walk them onto the semi truck at 7PM. We will have a brand inspector present so please make sure you have the correct paperwork. If you have a tag in their ear already we will use that number, if not your animal will be tagged by us.
The livestock truck will be at the fairgrounds at 6:45PM. We ask that you follow all social distancing while on the fairgrounds. If you have never sold with us before you will need to provide us with a W-9 for the school district to cut you a check for your animal. It must include the STUDENT social security number and their signature. Fill out forms here https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/fw9.pdf . You can always email the form to us at a later date too; checks will probably be sent to sellers in September.
