What is the Katy ISD Livestock Show and Auction?
The Katy ISD Livestock Show will be conducted when the exhibitors bring their animal to show and compete against each other for first – last place. The placing is determined by a judge who places the animals of each class of species. The same judge will pick a sale order of the animals placed and these animals will be in the auction. They are sold per head and bought by buyers (individual or a buyer group). The animal will be sold to the highest bidder. If an animal does not make the auction it will be in the barn sale. The prices for barn sale animals are listed in the Exhibitor’s Handbook page 10, rule 4.
