We gave Emily Cotton Reserve Lamb basket (Yeti cooler) to Direct Propane
Slide10TCYS Bidding Overview
The BIG Picture
Youth Fair and livestock auctions play out like 2 completely different auctions
YF auction is more like a real auction with competing bidders
YF bidders would rather win the bid outright and not be included on a bid sheet. Because of this, LT FFA Alumni was not high bidder on a single YF item—instead we were an ADD-ON.
Livestock is a faux auction with orchestrated bidding up to the total amount collected on the bid sheet Livestock bidders are more about spreading the money around and putting $100-$200 on the bid sheets—LT FFA Alumni was high bidder on a majority of livestock projects (but not all)Some bidders only participate in YF and some only participate in livestock, there are a few bidders that participate in both
Slide11TCYS Bidding Overview
The Process
Alumni fill out bid sheets for each LT lot with our bid amount on line 1
Each floor member select 3-4 kids to increase bid amount
Floor member circles the floor soliciting additional bids for LT kids they are currently working
Return bid sheets to home base and select next batchRepeat steps 2-4 for 12 hours until your brain is mush and everybody is out of money. Only stopping twice to go to the bathroom, woof down some brisket and a chug a bloody Mary.
Slide12TCYS Bidding Overview
Show me the money
LT FFA Alumni distributes funds equally among all LT students
Exception: Students of non-participating parents
How your animal places has ZERO relevance on amount of money received at auction
Exception: Grand/Reserve championsIf some LT project seemed to go for some a much higher price than the typical LT project, it was probably due to some outside entity other than LT FFA Alumni
