WEANLING SALE INFORMATION
- A minimum of 50% of the pigs in each breed will be selected for the sale.
- All animals selected and cataloged for the sale MUST go through the auction. Sale commission will be 15% for all animals. If an animal that is selected and cataloged for sale does not go through the sale ring, the exhibitor will be banned from exhibiting at NSR events for one year and will be charged 15% of the average selling price of their respective breed sale. This amount must be paid before reinstatement will be allowed. The exception to this rule will be if an animal has become injured or ill and is inspected by a NSR staff member prior to the sale.
- The NSR acts only as the agent between buyer and seller. If proper payment is made by the buyer in a timely manner, the NSR will make settlement with the seller in approximately 30 days after the sale. In the event of non-payment and/or insufficient funds by the buyer, settlement with the seller will be delayed until collection is secured. If an exhibitor has an NSR account that is past due, funds from the sale of their animals will be applied to past-due accounts.
