2022 Futurity Auction Entries

We are excited to get to work on another great Futurity Auction for 2022! This year’s auction will be
held live in Kansas City, MO on April 9, 2022, one day before the 2022 Futurity Show commences! We
are looking forward to this is being a fantastic auction and highly attended event! The sale will be highly
promoted online, and in hard copy, with catalogs being distributed in the US and internationally. We will
also, once again, be distributing the auction catalog at the AOA National Show, where we are excited to
again sponsor the live auction!

When you consign to this year’s auction you will receive all of the following:

• A full page in the sale catalog for each of your lots. Each page may have up to four inset images.
• A sixth page with your farm logo and contact info in consignor index of the sale catalog.
• The option to purchase a full-page ad in front of the lot pages in the catalog for $350.
• You will automatically have the right to the same number of lots in the 2023 auction. You can use the slots yourself, OR, you may offer one of your slots to a customer/client.
• As in the past, the sale will be heavily marketed with our signature “color group” emails, and the physical catalog will be distributed to our entire U.S. mailing list, and the electronic version will be emailed and available to alpaca breeders world-wide.
• We have again committed to the Alpaca Owners Association to sponsor the welcome packets and host the “Live Auction” at the National Show which gives us the opportunity to distribute the sale catalog at the National Show. This has proven to be a very effective marketing tool for past Futurity Sales.
• Across the entire auction industry, remote participation is no longer an item of convenience, but rather a necessity for any auction to reach maximum bidders, buyers, and overall success. To that end, we will have extremely robust online and phone bidding platforms in place.

The price structure for the 2022 auction will be as follows:

• One consignment $1,450, two consignments $2,800, three consignments $4,150, and four consignments for $5,000.
• In order to have the catalog at the National Show, and in the mail nation-wide at the ideal time, we will need your entries completed by February 10, 2022.
• The commission will be 10% on sales, and 8.5% on no-sales with a minimum commission of $600.
