The OC Fair Junior Livestock Auction isn’t just about bidding—it’s about investing in the future of agriculture. Every purchase supports the hardworking 4-H and FFA youth who’ve dedicated 3-9 months to raising and caring for their animals. These students are tomorrow’s agricultural leaders, learning responsibility, dedication, and entrepreneurial skills along the way. 🌾🐖🐑

Market beef, goats, lambs, hogs, and rabbits will be part of the lineup.
