This is a live benefit auction that will be held on Thursday September 26th at the Sheriff's Rodeo Sponsor Event. The flow of the event will determine what time the calf will sell. We recommend that buyers place their max bids so you don't miss out on this wonderful opportunity.
By participating in the Bougie Cattle Company Mini-Cow Auction, you agree to abide by the following terms and conditions. Please read carefully.
Payment/Pick Up Terms
The Auction Company will accept only cash, wire transfer, or Venmo for payment. Credit and Debit Cards will not be accepted. Full payment of the invoice is required within 72 hours of auction closure. This is a virtual-live auction with varying run times. Wire transfer info will be provided with the invoice at the close of the auction. If payment is not received within 72 hours of the close of the auction, there will be a late fee of $25 per day the invoice remains unpaid.
All cattle must be removed from the auction facility within 7 days after the auction’s close, unless prior arrangements have been made with the Auction Company. Failure to remove cattle within this period will incur a $15 per cow per day storage fee. Any cattle not picked up within 28 days of the auction will be deemed a forfeit unless the buyer has made arrangements in writing.
Fees
A 15% Buyer’s Premium will be added to all won lots. This fee is included in the final invoice and must be paid in full by the winning bidder.
There is no sales tax on cattle. Any other items won will be subject to sales tax of 7.75%
If a buyer wishes to have their calf weaned, there will be an additional fee of $750. The weaning fee must be paid within 72 hours of close of auction.

Bidding and Purchase
The bidder offering the highest bid accepted by the auctioneer will be declared the purchaser of the lot. Once a bid is made, it is binding and cannot be retracted. The purchaser accepts the lot upon placing the bid. The Auction Company reserves the right to refuse service to any individual for any reason.
Transportation
Cattle Transport: Shipping is available for jewelry only. All cattle must be paid in full prior to transport. No exceptions will be made.

Buy-It-Now Purchases
We will have a small selection of calves for a Buy-It-Now price before the auction. Calves purchased in the Buy-it-now must be paid for within 48 hours of purchase. This is required as any calves that are not paid for will roll over and be sold in the auction. Any calves that are not purchased during the Buy-it-now will be sold in the auction.
Termination of Bids
Off-Site Auctions: We do not allow cancellations for off-site auctions. All invoices for off-site auctions must be paid in full.
