The Benefits of Bidding
ALPINE BANK BUYER'S LUNCH
Registered bidders and their families will be treated to a tasty BBQ lunch. It's going to be one heckuva spread, so come out and dig in!
BUYERS RECEIVE
There's no better way to show your support for the future leaders our community. When you bid to win, you'll also walk away with a freezer full of top quality, locally raised beef, pork, lamb, goat, rabbit, or poultry.
Following completion of the sale, all buyers will receive a personal thank you letter and a framed 8” x 10” color photo of the 4-H member they supported and the animal they purchased. Buyers will be recognized in the next year’s Junior Livestock Auction flyer, in the Vail Daily, and on the Eagle County website.
Purchase Options
Options for processing your animal:
1. STOCK UP
Fill your freezer by purchasing an animal on your own or split it with a friend. How much meat will you get out of a 1,200 lb market steer? Get the breakdown here.
2. DONATE YOUR PURCHASE
Donate your animal to a worthy cause, such as The Community Market. Ask your accountant about tax deduction possibilities!
3. BUY BACK
Buyers may consign their purchase(s) back to the Junior Livestock Committee. Your purpose of buying at the auction would be solely for support and promotion. Buyers do not retain possession of the animal with this option.
****There will be a fee of 3% if a CREDIT CARD is used for the purchase.*****
