SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL 4-H AND FFA YOUTH BUY LOCKER MEAT AT THE FAIR 1:30 P.M. SATURDAY, AUG. 31, AT THE FAIRGROUNDS DETERMINATION Youth – The spark that starts the wheels turning in a progressive livestock market. The determination evident in these young people is a ﬁtting testimony to the guidance and counseling of the 4-H Clubs across Washington . . . Determination yields rewards. Dedication develops the kind of youth that will shape the Livestock Industry of tomorrow. Our 2013 Market Livestock Auction will feature outstanding livestock, the object of a strict scientiﬁc program of Growth and Quality. Your participation in this sale is the prime move that keeps the vital machinery of these young people in full gear.

Buyers may arrange for delivery of their purchases on the hoof. Live animals will be released to new owners Sunday, Sept. 1, 2013, after 5:00 p.m.

CUSTOM PROCESSING

TWO WAYS TO PARTICIPATE

The majority of buyers will prefer having their purchase processed and delivered to their freezer locker. A nominal charge will be added for processing, and the locker will make its usual charge for cutting and wrapping.

1) By all means, if you can, attend the sale in person. The excitement of the event and the drama of the auctioneer’s cry combine to create an unforgettable scene. Auction committeemen and ring men will be on hand to assist.

Any buyer may consign his purchase back to the Auction Committee for resale at the established commercial market price for sale day. The committee handles all details and the buyer pays only the difference between his bid and this market price.

Yellow This department is being expanded to include the development of trade skills, especially as they apply to a career. Exhibitors are to create an entry that showcases their skills and demonstrates to the community an example of proper construction techniques and adherence to building codes.

Exhibitors are encouraged to consider trade skills gained while working on their primary project, as in constructing a barn, greenhouse, engine stand, etc. Farm mechanic exhibits will showcase welding and fabrication skills and mechanical aptitude. Projects may be shifted from one class to another, or another class may be created at the discretion of the superintendent. Entries will be judged by the Danish system and evaluated as to age appropriate skill sets.
