On the last Friday of Stock Show, the Junior Auction begins with cocktails and hors d’oeuvres at 4:30pm in the National Western Club. The Auction begins at 6:30pm in the Beef Palace Auction Arena. Auction catalogs are handed out at the door with the sale order, so bidders can determine what animals they’d like to bid on. John Korrey, a World Renown Auctioneer, and 5 ring men will be placed throughout the arena taking bids. Hold your bid card up high when the animal you choose to bid on is on the auction block. If you won the bid, your name will be called by the Auctioneer and the Announcer. Scholarship students will assist with the paperwork, and all bidders must pay that night or within 72 hours of the sale. We accept cash, checks or any major credit card. All bidders also have the opportunity to take a picture with the animal purchased and the Junior Exhibitor.

Winning Bidders have two purchase options:

Option A: Scholarship
Winning Bidder pays the entire amount as accepted by the auctioneer which includes the buy-back amount. The buy-back amount is donated to the National Western Scholarship Trust.

EXAMPLE:
Your Bid = $2000
Buy-Back = $1000
You Pay =$2000
*The packer pays for the buy-back price and this money goes into the Scholarship Trust

Option B: Buy-Back
Winning Bidder pays the difference between the bid and the buy-back price.

EXAMPLE:
Your Bid = $2000
Buy-Back = $500
You Pay =$1500

*Buy-Back is the pre-determined, fair market value that the meat packer pays for animal
