You can place bids ahead of time by calling either the OSU Extension office at 740-622-2265 , Lindsey at 740-610-8583 or Ron Seitz at 740-252-2470 . Thursday evening of the auction they will be available via phone call or by visiting room B100 in the county services building , 724 S . Seventh St .
“ We encourage businesses or people that want to just put money on specific projects or kids to call in ,” Lindsey said . “ If people don ’ t have a specific person they want to put a bid on , they can contribute to the Friends of the Coshocton County Jr . Fair Livestock Auction . Salley and Chuck Ellis started that last year . The group tries to reach out and cover as many kids as it can . For example , say we have 100 kids showing hogs and we want to put $ 10 on each kid after the auction , we will use $ 1,000 to cover that and then do the same with chickens , steers , lambs , goats and so on .”
The friends of the group auction is a great way for 4-H and FFA alumni or businesses to give back .

“ You can just donate a certain amount of money , and Sally and Chuck will spread it out ,” Lindsey said . “ It ’ s a pretty good deal .”
Those who choose to bid online during the live auction will have two options : split bid and max bidding . Check the split bid checkbox when placing your bid . If you win , fair management will contact you upon winning the bid to obtain split details if you have multiple buyers bidding together . For max bidding , enter a private proxy max bid for any specific lot when placing a bid . The system will automatically place a new bid at the auction-designated increment without going over your max bid . You will receive a text message any time you are outbid on an item .
“ It ’ s a different kind of situation this year with the fact that everything was changing all of the time , but hopefully , we have things pretty much set ,” Lindsey said . “ At our last meeting we formulated a letter that will be going out to previous buyers explaining what will happen . We are hoping a lot of questions will be answered with that letter .”
