Washington Co., WI – Washington County Youth Livestock Auction is Thursday, July 27, 2023, at the Washington County Fair. Organizers are encouraging all those attending to pre-register HERE.
“If you are a new bidder, they should pre-register so we can have a sign ready for them,” said Laure Dei, Washington County Livestock Sale Committee. “The auction dinner is a complimentary meal for bidder and buyers.”
Livestock youth involved in meat animal projects through 4-H, FFA, and other approved youth groups, have the opportunity to show their beef, sheep and swine at the county fair.
The hard work and skill in putting together a show-ready and finished animal, will be judged and on display during the Junior Livestock Auction. These market-ready animals will go up for auction Thursday evening of fair week.
Please join us! There is a complimentary dinner before the auction for those interested in attending as a bidder or buyer.
