MARKET ANIMAL AUCTION
4-H / FFA Livestock Auction From all over Baker County, 4-H and FFA members bring their steer, sheep, swine, weather goat, rabbit, and poultry market animals to the fair to be judged for proper care, quality and showmanship. Their animals are then sold at an auction.
To make this educational program succeed, individuals and businesses are needed to support the market sale. The cost of raising one animal is much more expensive than the cost per animal in large, commercial operations.

How can you be involved?
1. Purchase and Resell. Most buyers purchase an animal for a premium and resell it to a local packer at the market price. The difference between the purchase price and the sale price is a donation made to the 4-H / FFA market livestock sale. A local packer guarantees to buy all animals at the fair and it takes no special effort on your part to resell the animal.
2. Outright Purchase For Home Use. For those who want the animal for home use, indicate on the sale slip where the animal should be butchered. They will contact the name listed on the buyer’ s receipt.
You don’ t have to be present at the sale to participate...
Livestock Auction Association members are available to buy in your behalf, following your instructions and limits. If you would like more information, please contact one of the members of the Livestock Auction Association or the Extension Office.
