4-H Auction
Participating in the 4-H Premium Market Livestock Auction can be exciting for new members and families. Over 60 years of tradition has been built into our local 4-H auction. Originally designed as a way for 4-H members to sell their market animals to local buyers, the auction has seen many changes over the years. As the auction has changed with the times, it has also tried to stay true to its core values. The auction is a premium only auction, meaning the ribbon is sold, not the animal.
The Premium Meat Auction is open to:
All regularly enrolled 4-H members in 3rd grade and up in market beef, market goat, market rabbit, market sheep, market swine and market poultry who have received a blue or red ribbon during their respective shows. One lot per exhibitor. Register by August 13 to be in the auction using this aution sign-up form and turn into the 4-H fair office.
The purposes of the Premium Meat Auction are:
- Encourage growth of the entire county 4-H program
- Encourage 4-H livestock project participation
- Maintain livestock members in the county
- Provide training in livestock marketing

- Acquaint the public with 4-H projects.
