The Polk County 4-H/FFA Youth Livestock Auction showcases our local 4-H and FFA livestock exhibitors and their market projects. Through this program, members learn to raise quality animals and develop valuable skills. The auctions provide a marketing venue for their project which is the culmination of 4-H or FFA member’s current learning experience.Local businesses, organizations and individuals are invited to participate in the powerful learning experience. While projects sell for a premium price, this compensates members for higher small-scale costs and allows members enough profit to invest in future projects or educational endeavors.
We encourage everyone to come to the auctions and make a purchase to help our young people meet their goals and reward them for all of their hard work commitment to becoming the leaders of tomorrow.
When you purchase an animal at the Youth Livestock Auction, you are buying more than a prize-winning animal raised by 4-H & FFA members. You are establishing yourself as a partner in helping young people in our community develop essential skills and attitudes. Most 4-H & FFA members save a significant portion of the funds generated from the sale of their animal for college or their first car.
4-H and FFA Members who participate in a market animal project develop:
Work ethic
Responsibility
Entrepreneurship Experience
Marketing Skills and Strategies
Recordkeeping and Financial Management Skills
Accountability
Leadership & Teamwork
The Polk County 4-H/FFA Youth Livestock Auction is coordinated and sponsored as part of the Polk County Livestock Association.
