Ralph Clark Memorial Junior Livestock Auction

Amador County Fair Junior Livestock Auction Exhibitor (Seller) Policy:

  1. The Ralph Clark Memorial Junior Livestock Auction disbursements for all fair JLA Exhibitors (seller) will be distributed at the time the Amador County Fair has received enough monies to fund all exhibitors (seller) payments or within 90 days of the auction, whichever occurs first.

The Ralph Clark Memorial Junior Livestock Auction Buyer Policy:

  1. All buyers are required to provide credit card information or a guarantee of payment (signed check) prior to receiving a buyer’s number.  Exceptions must be approved in advance by the Amador County Fair Board of Directors or its designee.
  2. All buyers at the Amador County Junior Livestock Auction (JLA) must have received a buyer’s number and provided required contact and payment information prior to purchasing an animal.  Any lot sold to a buyer without a buyer’s number will be considered a “no sale” and will be sold immediately.
  3. All buyers are expected to pay for their purchases on the day of the Auction.  Cash, Check, Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express are accepted forms of payment. An additional fee of $35 shall be assessed on all insufficient fund checks and/or transaction fees resulting from a declined check or credit card transaction.
  4. Should the JLA lot not be paid the day of the sale, the payment guarantee will be utilized for any outstanding balances after 30 days of the auction. It is the responsibility of the buyer to ensure all outstanding balances are paid within 30 days of the auction.
  5. At 30 days, any outstanding balances and fees will accrue a twenty (20%) percent penalty, compounded monthly, until the balance is paid in full. 
  6. The Amador County Fair JLA reserves the right to refuse to issue a buyer’s number to any potential buyer due to their prior non-payment or poor payment history.
