The Roundup

Regardless of who takes your goat home, you
receive the final bid price. Therefore it pays to
contact as many potential buyers as possible
about attending the sale and bidding on your
goat. The more bidders that are at the sale specifi
cally to bid on your goat, the more your goat may
sell for.
Begin by making a list of businesses in your
area that may be potential buyers. Don't limit
yourself to agricultural businesses. Restaurants,
grocery stores, insurance companies, banks,
lumber companies, trucking companies, and
others support junior livestock sales in many
areas. Next, compile a list of contact people for
each of the businesses. Ask your parents, leaders
or neighbors if they know of anyone who is
employed by each of the businesses—preferably
in a management position.
