The short answer
A livestock buyer thank you gift that buyers actually display is a personalized card of the exhibitor with their animal, sealed in a display case, with show-day photos and the thank-you letter behind the card's QR code. It goes on the buyer's shelf or shop counter, and every scan tells the story of the project they supported. A Display Card is $29.99.

The thank-you letter
In the exhibitor's own words: what the project taught them and what the sale means.
The year of raising it
Photos from the day the animal came home to show day.
Show day
The ring, the placing, and the sale, in photos or video.

Frequently asked questions
What's a good livestock buyer thank you gift?+
A personalized card of the exhibitor with their animal, sealed in a display case, with show-day photos and a thank-you letter behind the card's QR code. Buyers can display it at their business, and it costs $29.99.
What do you put on a livestock buyer thank you card?+
The exhibitor's name and photo with the animal, the animal and its placing, the fair and year, and a thank-you to the buyer on the back. The page behind the QR code holds the letter and the photos.
Should I still write a thank you letter?+
Yes, and the card is a place for it: put the full letter behind the QR code, in the exhibitor's own words, alongside the photos from the year.
What about several buyers or add-on buyers?+
A Card Pack is 10 cards in one order for $49.99, so each buyer gets their own card, each with its own page.
What goes behind the QR code?+
Every Cardbop card is a Living Card: the QR code printed on the back opens a page that belongs to that card. You can add the story behind it, more photos from that day, links (a highlight video, a playlist, a shared album), and a note the person who gets it finds when they scan it. Only people with the card or its link can open the page, and the owner can make it private. The printed code never changes, so the page can be updated any time.
When should I send it?+
Most exhibitors thank buyers within a few weeks of the sale. Order after the fair once you have the show-day photos.
