About.

What is the Jr. Livestock Sale?
      The Jr. Livestock Sale is a livestock sale conducted in an auction format, where bidders are competing to purchase a member's animal for meat. Each  4-H member will show their animal while prospective buyers (YOU), bid for the animal. If you can’t make it to the sale, you can CONTACT the Extension Office to have a representative bid for you. 
How else can I support the 4-H member?
      You can also support a youth by adding on (a dollar amount) to the purchased animal.  You can do this in advance by clicking HERE!
How do youth benefit from my purchase?
     It's up to the members how that money is used. Most continuing members, after reimbursing parents,  reinvest part of the previous years's profits into the next year's projects. Because of this, members learn how to be financially responsible and to critically think about their investments. Members who are in their last year in 4-H generally take what they have earned through the selling of livestock in years past and direct that towards funding their future plans, i.e. college. Your support doesn't go unnoticed and 4-H families value the businesses who continuously show their support of the 4-H program.

FAQ.

Am I responsible for taking the animal home?
NOPE! When you purchase an animal, you will go to the check-out desk where you pay for your animal and pick a processing company. Your animal will later be picked up at the fairgrounds by the processing company and taken to the processing plant. The processing company will call you within the next week or so, to get instructions on how to cut and wrap the meat. They will then deliver the wrapped meat to Steamboat, or you can pick it up at the processing plant. You then have a freezer full of delicious, locally raised meat for you to enjoy all year!
What if you don’t want the meat, but you still want to support the 4-H kids?
​
That’s GREAT!
      When you check out, just let them know you’d like to donate the meat to a local charity. Buyers are still responsible for paying for processing.

      Suggested charities:  Lift-Up, Advocates, Doak Walker, The Haven, another family, etc...
What if you don’t need that much meat?

  1. It's easy to find friends or a business(es) that would like to share an animal with you. Each of you can get a portion of the wrapped meat.
  2. Donate a portion of the wrapped meat to a local charity.
  3. Give a portion of the wrapped meat to your employees as a bonus.
