ELLIS COUNTY
4-H LIVESTOCK
SALE
Friday, July 22, 2011
6:00 p.m.
Ellis County Fairgrounds
With the announcement
of Ellis County, Kansas being named as the No. 2
County in the United States by Progressive
Farmer magazine, it’s no surprise we have many youth
involved with 4-H activities.
That’s why we are
personally inviting you to be part of our youth and
their development in our local area.
Please plan to attend the Ellis County 4-H Livestock
Sale!
What is the livestock/grand champion auction?
The Ellis County 4-H
Livestock Auction is when the animals the 4-Her’s have
raised and cared for are sold to the public. This
is the final step in their project 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 held Friday, July 22, 2011, 6:00 p.m.
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.
·
Tax deductable premium
contribution.
4-H motto
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.
The payment is due the
day of the sale, made payable to Ellis Co. Fair.
There are two plans the buyer may choose from.
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 regards 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.
NEW in 2011
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. Smoky Hill Meat Processing will be on site at the sale to make arrangements, if you so desire. 4-H Family provides transportation to processor, FREE of charge.
Who do I contact for more information?
