• Call our BID LINE at 863-733-5030 and we can take your bids over the phone. This number rolls over to 5 additional lines. You can always text 863-781-1146 if you have questions.

• Your purchase from the youth livestock sale is eligible for a tax-deduction/charitable gift and helps support youth with their project and encourages them to stay involved in agriculture. Therefore, consult your tax advisor on what deductible amount will be.

​

All animals will be sold by the head.

• The following is estimated averages that a Swine and Steer Exhibitor would need to break-even on their project:

  Swine - $3.80 per pound or $950 per head
  Steer - $2.50 per pound or $3,125 per head
  Again, this is an estimated break-even price and does not account for the youth’s labor in the project,

  so by paying above these prices, you are helping these exhibitors make a profit on their projects.​
