Resale

Another option is to resale the animal to the processing plant for the current market price.  By selling the carcass to the processor you will not take the meat home.   You will however get a discount off your price per pound.  This discount is based off the current market price per species which changes daily.  Check the sale catalog for today’s current market price.

Market prices change daily so the current prices will be posted the day of the sale. Here are examples of average market price:

For this choice you will be responsible to pay for the difference between your bid and the current market price.

Example of Resale Costs

Your winning bid for a steer was $3.00/lb for a 1250lb steer (3 x 1,250=3750)

$3,750

Market price on auction day for beef is $0.90/ pound (.90x 1250=1,125

$1,125

Cost Buyer = bid price less market price (3,750 – 1,125=2.625)

$2,625

Your auction purchase may be tax-deductible to the extent permissible by law.  For further information contact your tax professional.

Fair Poster Contest

Poster Due By May 15, 2024

In celebration of the 80th year of the Santa Clara County Fair, we’re thrilled to announce a unique opportunity for young artists to create a commemorative fair poster. The Santa Clara County Fair has a rich history, dating back to its establishment in 1941.

In this competition, we are looking for young artists to channel their creative talents to illustrate how the Silicon Valley has evolved over the years, transitioning ‘From the Fields’ to the transformation of a tech-based landscape ‘The Future’. Let your artistic vision capture the essence of this journey as we celebrate the 2024 Santa Clara County Fair.

Please note that we only accept hand-drawn illustrations for this competition. Works created with any form of artificial intelligence assistance, whether partial or total, will not be considered. Let your imagination and skill shine through your traditional artistic expression. Good luck!
