To Whom It May Concern:
Hi! My name is Claire Kelley. I am a 16 year old member of the Lakeland FFA and I will be exhibiting one of my two pigs at the North Idaho State Fair August 23rd and 24th. I purchased my crossbred pigs on March 26th. I have been feeding, washing, walking and training my pigs “Buddy” and Gangsta” every day. I have been working very hard on these tasks to ensure that “Buddy” and “Gangsta” are the weight where they will look their best. I feel like pigs are like people…when you take a bath you feel better and in hot weather you cool down so I wash and condition my pigs every day. It is important to exercise your pig 3-6 days per week depending on a variety of factors. I exercise and train my pig 6 days per week. This allows “Buddy” and “Gangsta” to get out and burn some energy again making them feel good and it gives me a chance to practice my showmanship skills so that I can get better and exhibit my pigs to the best of my ability to the judge.
I will be selling “Buddy” or “Gangsta” in the Auction on August 27th at 10:00 am.. I am looking for a buyer for “Buddy” or “Gangsta”. This year the auction will be run a little differently from the past. You will sign up through www.stockshowauction.com to make official bids or add-ons. All animals will be sold by the pound. Example: in a live auction you would bid $8.00 for a 250 lb pig = $2,000.00.
The name of the auction platform is NORTH IDAHO STATE FAIR AUCTION. Resale and Custom are still options, no live animals.

BIDDING PROCEDURES
BIDDING TYPES: Bidding is done in increments and will vary by lot according to the current price or request of specific consignor and/or governing body such as a specific fair or show board. Bidding Users have one of two choices for bidding style. 1) “Max Bid” style which allows bidders to enter the maximum amount they wish to spend and allow the system to bid on your behalf by the published increments as other Users compete against your maximum bid. 2) “Regular Bid” style allows bidders to enter a bid that will become the new highest bid, unless another User has entered a higher “Max Bid”, passing all other increments. With either option, Users should be aware that they may be out bid minutes before the close of the online auction and may not have the opportunity to enter another bid. You should automatically receive notification by email and/or text if another bidder outbids your maximum bid, however you should not rely solely on this email and/or text notification. You will therefore need to monitor the auction activity to stay fully informed. In the event of a tie, the earlier bid will be considered the winning bid. When bidding ends, all sales shall be considered final. There are no exchanges or refunds absent express statement to the contrary expressed herein. A bid by any person shall be deemed conclusive proof that such person is familiar with the terms and conditions of use and auction rules and that the bidder agrees to be bound by them. Each Lot will extend 5 (five) minutes beginning five minutes prior to the posted end time. If the sale ends at 7PM and a bid is placed at 6:57PM and no other bids are received the lot will close at 7:02PM.

Every attempt will be made to restore internet bidding capability as quick and as much as possible. Any interruption in internet bidding may or may not stop the live portion of the auction. Each sale will solely determine what is best for their situation at the time of any disruption and all participants agree to hold sale harmless of such decisions.
