Each year, the auction division of the livestock department receives inquiries from exhibitors who are showing market animals and have hopes of making the auction sale.  Frequently, the questions are oriented more towards the livestock show or scholarship program.  With that in mind, we have listed a few of the frequently asked questions we receive and we have provided links to the location where the answers are located. 

We hope you will find this information helpful, but please feel free to contact us if you have additional questions.
