[QUOTE="PLR, post: 49300, member: 540"] I agree that kids should not send letters to people asking them to buy "their" animal, because this shows selfishness. My first year at fair i did not get a good price for my steer but the two kids who placed ahead and behind me got at least 40-1.00 more per pound. they were from well known families. The letters should invite buyers to bid on any animal they see fit to at the auction not a specific one. We thank buyers with a poster at the beef barn and some send letters. I am now too old to sell at our fair auction but any kid who purchases a steer from me I will bid on or buy and I may buy other kids animals if i have enough funds.(at 18 years old the funds are limited) I would buy other animals not from the kids i know but from the ones that look like they are doing the project because they like it not because they want the money. Some kids get in the ring and you can tell they dont want to be there and they didnt spend the time on the animal that was necessary. Last fair I did a drawing and sold it at the Market Stock Sale to support an organization called Friends of the Fair, Which buys several animals every year to ensure that kids get a fair price and dont loose money on their projects. I plan to continue to do this every year to support the kids. Shelby [/QUOTE]
