MARKET LIVESTOCK BLUE RIBBON AUCTION

Several representatives from local businesses gathered at the recent Waseca County Fair to purchase the ribbons of 4-H market livestock animals. 4-H youth who earned a blue ribbon on their animal participated in the sale, with the ribbon being sold on 59 dairy steers, beef steers, swine, sheep, poultry, rabbits, and goats. Area auctioneers Larry Born, Ray Rew, and Bill Harguth volunteered their time as auctioneers for the event.

The Blue Ribbon Livestock Auction is the biggest fundraiser for the Waseca County 4-H Federation. This year $39,210.00 was raised for youth in market livestock projects with the 4-H Federation receiving $13,070.00 to be used for programming and scholarships to camps and leadership development opportunities. It will also support existing 4-H programming, like clubs, adventures, project workshops, and adult volunteer trainings. All 295 youth in Waseca County 4-H will benefit from profits raised at the 2023 auction.

Individuals and businesses who were buyers at the 2023 Waseca County 4-H Blue Ribbon Livestock Auction included Ag Partners, Androli Ag, Barney’s, Ben Srp, Condon Farm Service, Crystal Valley Coop, Dead End Cattle Company, Double O Farms, Eaton Farms LLC, Holland Ag, James Brothers Construction, Farmer’s Feed & Pet Supply, Frankson Investment, Janike Seeds, Johnson Berkshires, Jule & Wendy Johnson, Keen Bank, Kuball Dairy, Let’s Ride Boots & Apparel, Lyle Kuhns, Matt Groskreutz, Minnwest Bank, Moen Farms – Mike & Julie, Neighbors Meats LLC, O’Brien Tax & Accounting, Roesler Seeds, Schlaak Seed, Smiths Mill Implement, Southfork Seed, TDL Farms, Todd Norton Construction, Vista Farms, Waseca County Fair Food Vendors, Whitewater Creek Grain & Feed.
