COVID-19 PRECAUTIONS – LIVESTOCK AUCTIONS

LIVESTOCK AUCTIONS will continue as scheduled as they are deemed critical infrastructure by the CDC. The following guidelines should not be construed as “business as usual”, however, due to circumstances presented by COVID-19, we must abide by them during this time.

1. Only individuals seeking to purchase or sell livestock will be permitted entrance. Spectators may not attend.
2. Only one person per family unit will be admitted to the sale barn at a time.
3. No one under the age of eighteen will be permitted entrance.
4. All attendees must keep a distance of six feet between themselves and others.
5. No employees or attendees will be permitted to congregate in the break room.
6. Only two people are allowed in the office area at one time.
7. All customer checks will be delivered to the customer’s vehicle in the parking lot or mailed, limiting the number of sellers in the sale barn.
8. All attendees must enter only through the main entrance of the sale barn.
9. All buyers must be registered with bidder cards.
10. Only employees, and not sellers, will unload the seller’s cattle trailer and complete the necessary paperwork, while sellers will be asked to remain in their vehicles at all times.
11. Anyone with a co-morbidity factor that may cause them to be especially at risk for COVID-19 will be advised to remain at home.
12. Anyone experiencing symptoms of COVID-19, or exposed to a person who is experiencing symptoms of COVID-19, or has tested positive for COVID-19, will be advised to remain at home.

These are unprecedented times, and Ridgely Auction Livestock Sales seeks to cooperate with the current public health emergency.
