is the place to BEE!

Junior Livestock Auction
Saturday, June 24, 2023 8am
Main Livestock
Show Ring

The Shasta District Fair invites you to invest in 4-H, FFA, Grange and Independents
this year.
Support youth in our area by
becoming a buyer.
See you there….

JUNIOR LIVESTOCK AUCTION - WHAT IS IT?
The Junior Livestock Auction is the climax of one year’s project activities for 4-H and FFA members. As a learning and business experience, these young people have selected, fed, and groomed either a beef, lamb, hog, rabbit, meat goat or poultry. They have brought their project to the Fair to be judged, graded and sold. This is their market place. Here they present their stock and receive monetary value for their project and year of labor.
WHAT’S IN IT FOR YOU?
As a buyer, you are given a unique opportunity to invest in the youth of Shasta County. Buyers receive public recognition as supporters of 4-H and FFA. These two youth organizations are aimed at building leadership and responsibility in today’s youth. As a buyer you are also assured of excellent quality meat. Part of your purchase may qualify for a tax deduction — check with your accountant.
MECHANICS
Anyone may bid. You are welcome to attend the auction without bidding. A list of animals to be sold is provided for everyone who attends. This list shows the type of animal, its official sale weight, the owner’s name and whether it’s a 4-H or FFA project. Buyers will receive the sale list at the buyers’ registration table located in the foyer of the main show ring.
BIDS
Bids are made in cents per pound on the official sale weight. The Junior Livestock Auction committee hopes that current market prices will be the minimum; however bidding is open and competitive.
WHAT TO DO
Buyer’s registration desk will open at 7:00 a.m. near the main judging arena at the fairgrounds and will remain open until late afternoon. A buyer number is necessary to purchase an animal. Breakfast will be served from 7:00-8:30 a.m. for a nominal charge. The auction will begin promptly at 8:00 a.m.
RETURNING BUYERS: Report to the registration desk to pick up your number and lunch tickets.
NEW BUYERS: Report to the new buyers line at the registration desk. Volunteers will assist you to register and assign you a buyer’s number. You will be issued lunch tickets when you register.
BUYERS NOT ABLE TO ATTEND: If you wish to purchase an animal and you are not able to attend the auction, complete the attached bid authorization form. Return the form to the fair office prior to Thursday, June 15, 2023 and a member of the Auction Committee will purchase an animal or send the form with your authorized buyer.

WHEN YOU BUY
Through arrangements made by the sale committee, you can have your purchased animal processed and delivered to the local locker plant of your choice. If you wish to resell the animal at market price, this has been arranged for you. When you resell, you pay only the difference between market price and your bid price. This difference in price may be tax deductible.
Members of 4-H and FFA are responsible for animals until they reach the processing plant. This includes feeding and care following the sale. These project animals have had the best care 4-H and FFA members can provide.
The Junior Livestock Auction is a rare opportunity for adults to support two important youth programs, 4-H Clubs & Future Farmers of America.
2023 SALE
