Ellis County Fairgrounds
What is the livestock/grand champion auction?
The Ellis County 4-H Livestock Auction is when the animals the 4-Hers have raised and cared for are sold to the public. This is the final step in their projects where the educational aspects come to life. This is also where the grand champion and reserve champion food projects are sold. The sale will be Saturday, July 22, 2023, at the Ellis County Fairgrounds.
Why should I purchase an animal or food project?
You will receive personal satisfaction through:
- Helping promote 4-H youth “Learn by Doing” programs.
- Obtaining meat for your freezer or locker, if you so desire.
- Free advertising as a buyer in a support sign to hang in your business.
- May be tax deductible premium contribution. Contact your income tax preparer to determine if this is a tax-deductible contribution.
What types of projects will be sold?
Animals: Market beef, market swine, market lamb, meat goats, poultry and rabbits.
Foods: The overall grand and reserve champion food projects which could be anything ranging from breads to cookies.
Payment is due the day of the sale, made payable to Ellis Co. Fair. There are two plans from which buyers may choose:
Plan 1
Buy an animal through the sale for the market price, plus the premium price, and keep the project for a butcher animal. You must make arrangements with 4-Her in regard to transportation to locker. If the animal is reserved to show, it will be delivered to you at a later date.
Plan 2
Buy the animal and pay only the premium price. The animal will remain the responsibility of the 4-H member.
Please Note: Anyone may add on additional premium to a 4-Her’s check by informing the clerk of the additional amount, with payment at the close of the sale.
What do I do after I purchase an animal for consumption?
The processing arrangements are the buyer’s responsibility. 4-H Family provides transportation to processor, FREE of charge.
