· ENTRY FEES – Entry fees are $30/head payable at time of entry. Entry fees are non-refundable on any sheep that are sifted or otherwise fail to make the sale. Please use the enclosed entry form. In addition to the entry fee, 10% of the final bid will be charged as a sales commission. If you need additional room, simply photocopy the form, or provide the information on a blank sheet of paper. Information Sale Day will be accepted, but you should make every attempt to provide pedigree information to the prospective buyers. Remember the April 10h deadline, and please be on time!!!
· LATE ENTRIES: For all entries received after the deadline date and before the catalog is printed, we will make every effort to include these in the catalog. All entries that are received after the catalog is printed will be charged a late entry fee of $60 per head. A consignor who has entries in the catalog and then later adds additional entries will be assessed the normal $30 per head entry fee.
