FREEZER SALE - FOR BUYERS

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 in 2025 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.

2025 FREEZER SALE - INSTRUCTIONS
1. Exhibitor/Animals available for purchase will be added to the Albums below. They will be added as we receive them from the exhibitors prior to 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 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 going straight to the Buyer's Purchasing Form below. The Buyer's Purchasing Form will display all the animals available to purchase at 8:00 pm on October 23rd, 1 hour after check-in to give 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 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 27th 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.
