Please click on the "DOCUMENTS" button below to see the Sale Catalog, which provides additional information regarding the Terms of the Sale, Custom Meat Processor information and Sale Order.

RABBITS will be offered as a PREMIUM ONLY disposition. The market rabbit show had to be cancelled this year due to the detection in Colorado of Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease Virus type 2 (RHDV- 2). While RHDV-2 does NOT affect humans or domestic species other than rabbits, it is highly contagious and lethal among rabbits. As a result, in order to allow our Rabbit Exhibitors to participate in the Junior Market Sale this year the Sale format will be PREMIUM ONLY. No project will be offered or transfer ownership. The winning bid is a donation from the Buyer to the Exhibitor.

If you choose this option, you can add a set dollar amount to a specific or multiple exhibitors.
