Corporate and Individual Buyers Sought for Annual Junior Livestock Auction
Annual event features Waukesha County Executive and Honorary 2019 Fair Marshal
Waukesha, WI -- The Waukesha County Fair Association will host the annual County Executive & Fair Marshal’s Junior Livestock Auction on Friday, July 19 at 6 pm in the Livestock Show & Sale Tent on the Fairgrounds. This popular event is seeking corporate and individual buyers to make a monetary investment in the purchase of an animal during the event, sponsored by ARR, Inc.
About the Livestock Auction:
Individual and corporate buyers must register in the Livestock Show & Sale Tent before the start of the auction. Assistance will be available to learn the pre- and post-auction processes. The Waukesha County Fair can assist in the resale of the animal, with the buyer paying only the difference between the bid price and the actual market price.
The Livestock Auction is a culmination of a year’s worth of work by committed 4-H exhibitors, who prepare their steer, swine, lamb, goat, poultry, or rabbit for showing and sale. Proceeds from the Livestock Auction go directly to the 4-H participants, many of whom direct the funds toward college expenses. This is an excellent opportunity to support 4-H and the potential future leaders of Waukesha County. This year’s Fair Marshal, Bob Stigler, will be recognized at the beginning of the auction for his involvement and impact on the Fair.
