If you need an exception, it must be brought to the Becker County Youth Market Livestock Auction Committee 24 hours before the auction.

A commission on premium will be taken from each exhibitor’s check for promotion, advertising, and the bidders breakfast expense and to comply with youth livestock education in Becker County.

Stems with sticky sap should be synged on the cut edge or sealed by placing lower end of stem in boiling water for 1-2 minutes. Woody stems should be crushed to increase water intake during display. All horticulture specimens must be grown by the exhibitor and houseplants, hanging baskets, terrariums, and dish gardens must be in the exhibitors possession for at least three months.
