FFA POLICY STATEMENT ON LIVESTOCK COMPETITIONS The National FFA organization believes that livestock exhibition and judging competitions offer significant opportunities for the personal, social and career growth of its members. Participation in all competitive events requires the highest personal standards of ethics, integrity and fair play as called for in the FFA Code of Ethics. FFA members are expected to comply with the specific rules of each competition and to adhere to the National Show Ring Code of Ethics. Additionally, FFA does not condone or tolerate abuse or mistreatment of animals in any form in its activities, programs or competitions. The organization actively supports the training and education of FFA members and advisors in the proper ethical behavior for livestock competitions and in the application of sound humane principles of animal husbandry.

4-H POLICY STATEMENT ON LIVESTOCK COMPETITIONS The use of illegal drugs and/or the improper use of animal health products or foreign substances will not be tolerated in the Washington State 4-H Development Program. Extension personnel, 4-H volunteers, families, youth and fair/show officials have a legal and moral obligation not to misuse these products. We have the responsibility to tell others not to use these substances, and report those who do use any illegal substance. The administration of any drug or medication that could affect an animal’s performance resulting in an unfair advantage or the disposition of the animal is unacceptable. Additionally, there are federal penalties for using illegal substances in animals that are going into the nation’s food supply.

Support Your Local 4-H and FFA Youth Buy Locker Meat at the Fair

1:30 P.M. Saturday, Sept. 1 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 2018 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.

Two Ways to Participate 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.

2) If you, your firm or organization, cannot attend the sale but wish to participate, you can do so by proxy. Simply contact the Livestock Sale Secretary, Lori Williams, 509–650–7018. We’ll do the rest.

Three Ways to Buy LIVE ANIMAL Buyers may arrange for delivery of their purchases on the hoof.

Live animals will be released to new owners Sunday, Sept. 2, 2018, after 2:00 p.m.

custoM procEssINg The majority of buyers will prefer having their purchases 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.

turN optIoN Any buyer may cosign 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.
