Ellis County Fair
4-H Livestock Sale
The Ellis County 4-H Livestock Auction will occur on
Friday, July 17, 2009, at the Ellis County Fairgrounds
livestock arena. Market beef, swine and lambs, meat
goats, poultry and rabbits that are raised, cared for,
and displayed at the fair will be sold to the public.
Grand Champion and Reserve Champion food projects
(anything from breads to cookies) will also be offered
for sale.
Purchasing an animal or food project will help promote 4-H youth “Learn by Doing” programs, provide free advertising as a buyer with a support sign to hang in your business, and/or obtain meat for your freezer or locker, if you desire. Premium contributions are tax deductable.
Two plans are available for auction participation:
1. Buy an animal for the market price, plus the premium price, and keep the project for meat. The animal can be delivered to the locker plant for you. If the animal is reserved to show, it will be delivered to you at a later date.
2. Buy an animal and pay only the premium price. The animal will remain the responsibility of the 4-H member.
Payment is due on the day of the sale, payable to Ellis Co. Fair. Processing arrangements are the buyer’s responsibility. Smokey Hill Meat Processing will be on site at the sale to make arrangements if you so desire. Transportation to Smokey Hill is provided free of charge.
