Please join us Saturday August 1st 2026
at Benton County Fairgrounds in Corvallis, OR
Lunch Starts: 12pm
Auction Starts: 3pm
Welcome!
There are many objectives accomplished by the sale. It is an educational experience to select, raise, fit,
and sell the animals and it is an opportunity to show the public a positive side of our youth activities
This year approximately 252 young people will present rabbits, poultry, goats, steers, swine, and lambs for
sale. Each participant is allowed only one sale.
The product of the sale will be quality meat. The animals can be delivered to a local processor as directed
by you at the time of checkout. You can have it cut and wrapped to your specifications. The list of 2026 processors will be released soon.
BIDDING
You will be provided a sales catalog that lists all of the animals, along with their weights and owners. As
each animal is led into the ring, the auctioneer asks for bids on a per head basis. When you wish to bid on
an animal, just raise your hand. This continues until the high bid is reached, with the animal going to the
highest bidder. If you want assistance, the are official Auction Committee members who will be glad to help
you. Remember, whether you buy or not, your bidding helps the sale of the young livestock owners.
AFTER THE AUCTION
Fill out all information on the buyers slip. Animals will be sent for resale unless you notify the clerk on
AUCTION NIGHT that you desire the meat and give delivery instructions.
- Keep the meat for personal use. The animal will be delivered C&C Slaughtering, Willamina Meat
Service, Mohawk Valley Meats, or Farmer’s Helper to be cut and wrapped to your specifications. - Consign it as resale directly to a commercial packer at market price, if you do not wish to keep the
animal for personal use. Your cost is the difference of the market price and auction price. - Pick your animal up live.
