Buyer Registration Form

Interested in becoming a buyer at the 2024 Fort Bend County Fair Livestock or Art Auctions? Whether it be a market animal, or breeding beef heifer, exhibitors spend months preparing their projects. When supporting a livestock exhibitor, you are helping a young person in Fort Bend County remain in agriculture and you are helping keep farms a part of our community. Purchasing a project from an exhibitor at an auction invests in that child's future and gives them the means to continue to pursue their passion in agriculture.

If your interest is more in the art field, we have that for you as well. Local art students prepare exquisite master pieces any collector or novias would be pleased to display in their gallery, office or home.

We appreciate your support and look forward to having you as a buyer!

IMORTANT INFORMATION!!!

With the 2024 fair, there will be some changes for the auctions which we have highlighted below and have also included some reminders.

Registration Fee – there will be a $250 registration fee for buyers, which will be credited back to the buyer if a purchase is made at an auction. If an auction purchase is not made, the funds can be used as add-ons for exhibitors. If there are no purchases or add-ons made, the funds will be retained by the fair and used to reduce the exhibitor sale fee. The registration fee can be paid during the pre-registration process, paid at time of check-in for the sale, or you can elect to pay it after all auction/sales are complete by providing credit card information at registration time that would be charged only if total auction purchases and add-ons are less than $250.

Auction Entry – each buyer who registers will receive two wristbands and two tickets for the meal and each buyer group will receive four wristbands and four tickets for the meal. If you have additional individuals who wish to be a part of the auction, each additional wristband will cost $20 each. The additional wristbands will entitle them to enter the auction area, but not the meal.

Payment Methods – payment methods accepted will be cash, checks and credit cards. Credit card payments will receive an additional 3% processing fee like last year.

Timing of Payment – all auction items purchased must be paid for at the end of each auction. If you wish to charge your purchases to a credit card, a credit card can be presented at check-out or put on file, and it will then be charged for the appropriate amount at the end of the auction. If you wish to pay by check, please bring your checkbooks.

Online Auction – Cattle in Motion will be broadcasting all auctions for those who wish to view and/or purchase lots on-line.

More Ways to Help

Unable to purchase a livestock project or art piece? You can still help the exhibitors by placing an add-on to their project. Buyer registration is not required for only doing add-ons and thus the buyer registration fee is not applicable for add-ons only. All add-ons must be paid for at time of submission. Simply complete the add-on form and return to the fair office by the deadline stated below.

Add-Ons will be accepted through October 10, 2024!
