The Jr. Livestock Auction is the final marketplace for animals shown in the Montrose County Fair by our local 4-H and FFA Members. Each 4-H and FFA participant is allowed to sell one animal, unless they have won more than one champion title. In order to qualify for the auction, participants must meet stringent requirements to assure that all animals sold provide the highest quality valley raised meat.
The objective of the Jr. Livestock Auction is to encourage our youth to seek a future in agriculture, and to further their education. Their participation gives them the opportunity to further their leadership, public speaking, animal husbandry, and business knowledge.
How do I Participate?
As a Buyer – The auction is an exciting and rewarding way to participate. All animals sold at the auction are sold by the head, not by weight. There are two ways to purchase at the Jr. Livestock Auction:
1) Attend in person – The auction is an exciting and rewarding way to participate and support local youth.
2) Add-Ons can be applied to any exhibitor by filling out an add-on form. Contact the Fairgrounds for an add-on form.
How Does it Work?
If you are interested in participating in the Jr. Livestock Auction, there are a few things to know. First, you must be registered as a buyer. Contact the Auction Chair or the Montrose County Fairgrounds to register.
What Happens After the Auction?
After the auction has concluded, buyers must check-out.
Are There Other Ways to Participate?
If you are interested in participating, but don’t want to purchase an animal, there are other ways to support the auction:
1) Add on contributions – If you know the youth participant you want to support, the add-on contributions are a great way to participate. You can add-on money to a participant’s final sale check prior to, during, or after the auction. Only contributions over $1000 will be announced during the auction.
2) Stockmen’s Buyers Club – If you are interested in supporting the kids, but not necessarily a specific one, the Buyers Club is a great option. Your annual membership fees go to assuring each animal going through the auction sells for a minimum price. For more information on the Buyers Club visit montrosecountyfairandrodeo.com
