The auction will be held Friday, July 17 beginning at 5 pm in the same location. Potential bidders can participate in person or virtually this year. To reduce crowding and encourage social distancing, the capacity will be limited to less than recommended, and there will be a tent with a closed-circuit live feed of the auction for the in-person option. And instead of the traditional buyer barbeque, buyers will receive food vouchers that are good for the whole evening. Potential buyers can get the information here when it is available: http://gallatin.msuextension.org/4hbuyers.html.
