July 4 is county fair’s animal sale
The day of celebrating our country’s freedom on Saturday, July 4, is also the most important day for many of our youth who live on farms. The fair’s sale runs all day at the animal sale barn located in the middle of all of the animal barns on the western end of the fairgrounds. The sale begins at 10:30 a.m. and finishes at approximately 6 p.m. with the following order of animals: rabbits, chickens, ducks, turkeys, geese, carcass goats, market goats, dairy market goats, carcass lambs, market lambs, dairy feeders, dairy finished beef, carcass steers, market steers, beef feeders, carcass hogs, and market hogs. Grand and reserve animal champions are sold at the end of their species. I also didn’t understand how the animal auction worked until I tagged along last year with Jan Solomon, a fair board member and a 30-year Junior Fair adviser. A goal is to attract more non farmers, businesses and organizations to bid on these animals.
