2020 Online Sale Info

2020 Sale Order: Steer, Goat, Hog, Lamb

We are still having a live in-person sale!

 

However, to accommodate those that wish to bid from home or their business, we will have an online sale occurring at the same time that follows the in-person sale.  A camera will be placed in the auction block so you will be able to see the exhibitor and animal that is currently in the block.  Sale orders and animal info will be posted fair week after the completion of the shows.  If you purchase online the night of the sale and wish to take an animal home or to slaughter/processing, please let us know where you will be sending the animal.  Payment will not be accepted online, you must pay via check or credit card to the Rockingham County Fair (540-434-0005).

Online Buyer Updates & FAQ's

ONLINE BUYER UPDATES

-Please register your business name under First Name.  The site will not let you leave the last name field blank when you register a company under the first name field.  Please put your actual name in the last name field.

​

-If you wish to bid for multiple businesses, you must register EACH business separately.  You will only be able to purchase an animal with ONE bidder account at a time.  Multiple online registered bidder numbers cannot be combined to purchase a single animal.  Only ONE buyer name will be announced.  If you wish to bid with several bidder numbers, please come to bid in-person at the fairgrounds!

​

-Animals are sold BY THE POUND.  However, you will see all sale prices online as hundredweights.  Example:  You hear the auctioneer selling a hog for $2.25/lb.  On your screen, it will show up as $225.  You are NOT purchasing that animal for that amount.  In reality, it means the price is $2.25/lb.
