Hey Buster, how are ya today?
Poco...Your right, Chupps is huge. If you have animals for sale, when you pull into their entrance, drive to the right and circle the pole barn. There will most likely be a line of vehicles there already. Stay in your vehicle until you get to the end of the barn and they will unload for you. After you are unloaded and your cages lined up in the barn, pull out and park your vehicle. You might have to go aways to find a spot.
In the barn there will be two guys going in line signing the animals in. This sometimes takes a while. Stay close to your cages and wait for them to get to you. If you have someone with you, one of you need to go to the office, which is across the drive at the back of the barn. Get in line, to get your auction number card. You will need to show them your drivers license.
Everything in the field starts selling at 8:00. There will be about 5 or 6 auction crews going at same time. If you win the bid, just show them your card. You can load items to your vehicle anytime after you win the bid and they have taken your number. Same with the animal sale.
Poultry sale starts at 8:30. Auctioneer will go up and down the rows in a golf cart. When you are ready to leave, go back to the office. There will be a buyers line for anyone that purchased anything and want to pay out. There will be a sellers line for sellers to receive their check. Just a reminder, because this happens more than you think. Write down the price your animals brought and make sure your payout is right.
When you are driving out a security guard will look at your ticket and might look at what you bought. It doesn't take long. Hope this helps.
