FREEZER SALE - FOR BUYERS 2026

Our Livestock Show is non-terminal, so instead of an auction, exhibitors can market their animals directly through the Freezer Sale. Buyers get high-quality meat straight from the kids’ projects, and exhibitors gain real-world selling experience. A win-win for everyone!

FIRST of all, Thank you for support of our youth and the Harris County Fair!
We have made several improvements to the Freezer sale operation, the main changes for Buyers since 2024 are:
1. We do not have a sign-up early option to be placed on a first come, first buy list.
2. Instead of matching buyers to exhibitors/projects, buyers can select what exhibitor/animal they want to support/purchase.
3. Instead of being invoiced, the buyer can pay immediately online via a "shopping cart". If you require an invoice, please contact us for the alternative for being invoiced manually and we will remove the exhibitor/animal from the website.

1. Exhibitor/Animals available for purchase will be added to the Albums below. They will be added as we receive them from the exhibitors before and during the fair.
2. The Exhibitor/Project photos will include their name, school/area, and information about their project, including estimated weight at fair time. The animal's weight will be updated after they have checked in at the fair, and their animal will also appear available in the Buyer's Purchase Form (link below).
3. You have the option to look through the pictures and select an animal to purchase, or go straight to the Buyer's Purchasing Form below. The Buyer's Purchasing Form will display all the animals available for purchase at 8:00 pm on October 22rd, one hour after check-in, to allow us time to remove animals that did not arrive.
4. You have the option to include ADD-ON's if you want to increase the amount of money the exhibitor receives.
5. If you do not want the meat but want to support the exhibitor, you have the option to donate the animal to the Harris County Fair and Rodeo.
6. Steers, Swine, Lambs, and Goats, when you check out, please select your processor information. Your animal will be transported to the processor for you, and the processor will contact you the week after the Fair (October 26th week) to ask about your cut and packing preferences.
Poultry and Rabbits, you do not need to select a processor. Your exhibitor is responsible for processing and delivery. The exhibitor's check will be withheld if the animals are not delivered.
7. Please make sure your email and phone number are accurately listed so that the processor and the Fair can reach you for questions.

Note: There is a 10% fee/commission which helps us cover bank transaction costs, with the remainder directly supporting the Harris County Fair & Rodeo Association.
