Please respect social distancing guidelines at all times. Auctioneers and associates will maintain correct physical distance between bidders. 

We will follow Indiana’s Back on Track Plan as well as federal, state and local guidelines for social distancing. During Stage Four of Indiana’s Back on Track plan only 250 total people can be at the auction barn during a given time. Seating will be limited.  

There will be a new set-up for weekly auctions. The cashier will now be located in office. Customers will approach window w/ plexiglas shield to acquire bid number card. Customer will tell casher their name and cashier will fill in bid card. Bid card will then be handed to customer. Hand sanitizer will be located as cashier station. Markings on floor (six feet apart) will show customers where to stand. Customers will check-out in this area as well following those above protocols. A small plastic tub will be used when cash and change is needed to be made. 

In the ring area, every other row of seats will be roped off. These seats are available on a first come first serve basis. Please do not sit directly next to someone that isn’t in your Covid-bubble or circle of friends/ family.  You will no longer be able to reserve your seat with boxes. There will be some areas to stand during the sale. Please respect social distancing guidelines and do not congregate in groups. 

Masks are required for all employees. Hand sanitizer will be available at all times. Employees are required to wash hands with soap every 30 minutes. 

Frequently touched surfaces (tables, doorknobs, light switches, countertops, handles, desks, toilets, faucets, sinks and credit card machine) will be cleaned multiple times during the day including the restrooms. 

Microphone will be disinfected during a change in auctioneers.   

We will reevaluate these polices from week to week. And we will make changes accordingly to how things work, don’t work and everything in-between.
