ATTENTION JUNIOR MARKET LIVESTOCK BUYERS

GROUP/SPLIT PURCHASES

Purchases made by multiple buyer numbers will be accepted. However, the individual who signs the invoice for the animal that their group purchased automatically becomes the responsible party. Upon request, we can make copies of the original invoice for your records. MCF does not bill individuals for group/split purchases. If you choose to pay by credit card, only one credit card will be processed per invoice and the buyer will be charged a 4% convenience fee for this service. All group payments must be submitted at one time by the signing party in order to assure full payment and accurate accounting of the invoice.

Add-on donations can be made to any exhibitors going through the livestock show. Add-On donations must be paid under the same terms as purchases.

Buyer’s making credit card payments will be charged a 3% convenience fee. Payments to sellers are only made after purchase is paid in full. Prompt Payments will allow exhibitors to receive their sale checks and repay their project loans on time.

It is imperative for all payments to be received by the fair office no later than May 16, 2023. You will be contacted on May 18, 2023 if you have an outstanding balance. At this time MCF will request payment immediately or a credit card payment to satisfy the debt. All outstanding balances on May16, 2023 will be charged 2% interest monthly.
