OC Fair Junior Livestock Auction and Why Your Support Matters

The annual OC Fair Junior Livestock Auction supports 4-H and FFA educational programs throughout
Orange County. Each purchase directly finances and supports individual youth participants who are working
to become future agriculture and community leaders.
As a buyer, you help these young participants to finance future animal projects as well as their overall
agricultural, general education and life experiences. Additionally, you receive high-quality, locally sourced
food for you and your family to enjoy.
Each youth participant spends 3-9 months and countless hours raising and caring for their livestock projects
learning the benefits of experience, responsibility and dedication as well as animal care and
entrepreneurialism.
Only Market Beef, Goats, Lambs, Hogs, and Rabbits that earn a blue ribbon, “market-ready” award are
permitted to sell in the Junior Livestock Auction and all Champions, Reserve Champions, Grand Champions
and Reserve Grand Champions in each species are required to sell in the auction. This simply means the
best of the best are available for you to purchase!

About 4-H

to 19 years old around the nation. 4-H is focused on empowering youth to reach their full potential by

Auction Tips
    Make sure you check your freezer space before making a purchase or make arrangements to store your
     purchase once it’s been processed and packaged. A 1,200-pound beef can produce more than 486
     pounds of packaged meat.
    Add-ons are a great way to support a youth participant without purchasing an actual animal or paying a
     large amount of money. The Auction Sales Book lists all the youth participants you can provide
     additional support to.
    Buyers can team up to purchase an animal together. Up to four buyers can bid together.
    If you do not want the packaged meat product from the animal(s) you purchased, you can still support
     the youth participants:
             o Buy Back: Select this on your Auction Sale Contract and your purchase will be resold
                commercially at market price by the auction staff. You pay the difference between the market
                price and your bid and the youth exhibitor receives the full amount.
             o Scholarship/Donation: Select one of the four available nonprofit programs or youth
                scholarships and your purchase will be resold commercially at market price with proceeds
                from your bid and the resale going to the selected program or scholarship. See page 10 for
                your donation options.

                   Add-Ons: What Are They and Why Do We Have Them?
    An “add-on” is a form of support, above and beyond the auction sale price, of the animal that you
     identify for a particular student you are supporting.
    Any amount over the $10 minimum per lot can be given through an “add-on” without actually purchasing
     the animal.
    If unable to participate in the virtual auction add-ons, you can always write a check directly to the
     particular student to show your support.
    Add-ons can help students to break even on their livestock projects if they get low bids at the Junior
     Livestock Auction.
    Add-ons can also be given if you think the student did an excellent job on their livestock project and
     deserve a little extra money to put toward their education, future projects or life expenses.
    Participants must have an animal in the auction in order to receive add-ons.

The Seller Experience
1. To secure individuals to purchase project animals, it is strongly recommended that exhibitors send out
   letters to all potential buyers inviting them to the Junior Livestock Auction.
2. Exhibitors should read all market competition and auction rules and guidelines prior to arriving at the
   fairgrounds.
3. Exhibitors receiving a blue ribbon in their market class – which signifies that the animal exhibited is
   market ready – can be entered in the Junior Livestock Auction. Those exhibitors planning to sell their
   animal in auction must sign their animal in on the day of the species market show. The deadline to
   sign an animal into the Junior Livestock Auction is one hour after completion of judging for that
   species. Exhibitors not planning to sell their animal through auction do not need to sign any paperwork
   after the conclusion of the market show for that species.
4. Once sign-ups are complete a proof list will be posted. Exhibitors will be reminded to check the proof
   list for accuracy of name, school or club and species of livestock being sold.
5. The 2021 Virtual Junior Livestock Auction is Saturday, July 10, starting at 9 a.m.
6. Exhibitors MUST continue to care for your animal until Sunday night (July 11). Final cleaning of animal
   pens will begin after 4 p.m. on Sunday (once the all-clear has been given over the loudspeaker).
   Exhibitors will make sure animals are given water at the conclusion of pen cleaning and just prior to
   leaving the fairgrounds.
7. Exhibitors will receive an auction packet (auction check, buyer and add-on information list with
   addresses) from their leader/advisor. Exhibitors are STRONGLY ENCOURAGED to send a thank you
   letter to all individuals who supported their project, which should include leaders and/or advisors.

                                                                                                         6

2. All 4-H/FFA Champions, 4-H/FFA Reserve Champions, Grand Champions and Reserve Grand
   Champions must sell at the auction.
3. The OC Fair is a Partial Terminal show meaning ALL champions (Beef, Hogs, Goats and Lambs)
   are required to go through the Junior Livestock Auction and then directly to the processing plant
   designated by the OC Fair Livestock Department. These champions cannot leave the grounds as
   live pick-up sales.
4. NEW: Only CHAMPION market small animals may sell in the virtual auction and are pick-up live
   only.
5. Only Market Beef, Goats, Lambs, and Hogs that are judged Blue Ribbon “Market Ready” will be

8. Non-auction animals may be consigned in the Livestock Office only on Thursday, July 8, from
   10 to 11:30 a.m. (A non-refundable $35 fee plus processing costs apply.)

Sellers:
9. Exhibitors may sell one animal in the auction.
10. Each exhibitor with eligible animals must indicate with the Livestock Office which animal is to be entered
    in the auction. Auction sign-up deadline is one hour after completion of judging:

         Small animal champions must sell in the auction; no other small animals will be sold in the auction.

    expenses.)
12. Exhibitors selling animals in the auction must wear official 4-H/FFA uniforms (refer to Junior Department
    rules).
13. No animal can be sold through the auction without an official OC Fair ear tag. A replacement tag will be

    late signups will be accepted after 8 a.m. on Friday, July 9.
16. Sellers are encouraged to thank their buyer. However, sellers are not allowed to contact their buyer for
    the purposes of asking buyer to not send their animal to market, asking buyer to donate/trade animal
    back to the seller/school/club/etc., or asking buyer to send their animal to a no-kill shelter. This behavior
    is inappropriate and jeopardizes the Junior Livestock Auction program.

Buyers:

    for caring for the animal(s) until it is loaded on the truck on the Sunday after the auction. Seller failure to
    do so will result in forfeiture of premiums.
21. OC Fair Livestock Department will ONLY accept and process add-ons for market competitors that have
    an animal going through the Junior Livestock Auction.

                                                                                                                  7

                                                                   and processing)       Estimated
           240 pounds x $2.50 = $600.00

      Buy Back (Resale at Market Price)
       If you do not want to receive the meat from your purchase and instead wish for the animal to be sold
       commercially at market price to benefit the youth exhibitor, or if you want to support the program but have
       no use for the animal or the meat, you can choose this option. Buyers pay the difference between their
       bid and the market price and the youth exhibitor receives the full bid amount. Auction staff handles the
       resale for you. No private buy backs are allowed or offered.

   Pick-Up Live
       You or a representative will come to the OC Fair at the appointed time to load and haul away the
       animal you purchased. Buyers who choose this option usually have a place the animal can be kept
       as breeding stock, wish to have it processed in a special way, or have some other purpose in mind.
       Choose this option if you want to keep the animal live and can arrange for hauling. You must include
       the pick-up person’s name and phone number and provide this person with your copy of the sales
       agreement (if you are not picking up the animal yourself). Note: ALL Champions (Beef, Hogs, Goats

Orange County 4-H
“Head, Heart, Hands and Health” are the four H's that make up the 4-H pledge and are the cornerstones of
an organization which reaches more than 2,000 youth in Orange County. The program emphasizes
leadership development through project participation, community service and record-keeping. The Orange
County 4-H program, organized through the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) and the
University of California, is now 100 percent dependent on private funding for its operation (other than
salaries) because of county budget restraints. Visit ocf4h.org for details.

Bobbi Rach and Diane Siebert Scholarship
Each year, this coveted award is given to one outstanding 4-H member who is selected for being an
active participant in a well-rounded variety of projects, school activities and community service.
Leadership and leadership potential are emphasized in the candidate selection. First awarded in
1990, this scholarship was established in memory of one of Orange County’s most dynamic and
inspirational 4-H leaders, Bobbi Rach. Diane Siebert was a dedicated leader to 4-H leading projects
and supporting her community and through her passion and support she greatly influenced the lives
of many 4-H youth. This scholarship is completely funded by donations and is awarded from an
annual interest.

Note: Add-ons cannot be made to donation/scholarship programs. Individuals interested in
contributing to the above programs are encouraged to donate directly to each organization.

Understanding Your Auction Purchase – Cost and Yield

The goal for exhibitors is to cover their expenses and to also make a profit to further fund their
future projects, education or life expenses. However, their foremost goals and the ones that are of
utmost importance are that exhibitors acquire the experience, dedication and responsibility that
they learn while raising their livestock projects. Buyers can help the youth exhibitors obtain all of
their goals.
