4-H livestock auction protocol

Posted

Included in this special fair section are photos of some Delaware County 4-H members and the animals they have raised specifically for this auction. The photos are designated with the 4-H symbol. 

Those interested in attending the 4-H animal livestock auction at the Delaware County Fair Saturday, Aug. 20, at 2 p.m. in the livestock show ring will be interested to know that the animals being auctioned have been raised by 4-Hers are sources of top quality meat.

Consider splitting the meat into halves, quarters or even thirds and then splitting the cost with family or friends. For example, if you purchase a pig for $300 and you split the pig into thirds with two other people, your cost for one-third of the pig would be $100 before processing fees.

Shippers will be on hand to deliver animals to purchasers’ processor of choice.

Come to the 4-H livestock auction and help our future farmers and future community leaders. 

Proceeds from the sale of the animals typically goes toward next year’s animal projects, school expenses, etc.
