Getting Ready for the Jr. Livestock Auction
Livestock exhibitors will spend Tuesday through Sunday of the fair taking care of their animals, showing their animals and making friendships and connections that can become lifelong. After a long hot week of washing, grooming and showing, the Jr. Livestock Auction is where the kids will sell their animals.
“We want everyone to come out and support the kids. This is a way for the youth to excel in life and help further their education. They are our future,” said Fair Manager Jim Wolcott.
The Jr. Livestock Auction begins at 8:30a.m. at the Pardner Pavillion. To find out more information or about buying an animal visit www.lassencountyfair.org.
