Highlights of the September 14, 2019 Auction

The fall auction attracted 420 buyers from 10 states. A huge thank you to all the buyers who bid on 115 lots of birds, animals, and equipment offered for sale. The top-selling consignment was a breeder pair of Cape Barren Geese that sold for $1100.00.

A big thank you to all the consignors who consigned birds, animals and equipment to the spring auction.   And even bigger thank you goes to all the HOAGBA members who volunteered on Friday to get all the consignments checked in and in place for the auction on Saturday,  Some of those same volunteers showed up early Saturday morning to get the eggs, chicks and aviary items checked in.  Without volunteers, there would be NO auction

There are three auctioneers who take turns auctioning off consignments.  Two clerks switch off writing the prices and bidders numbers on the sheets which are sent to the office for recording and filing. HOAGBA volunteers serve as ring men.  They watch for bids and mark the boxes.
