2026 Junior Livestock Sale Invitation
To our Valued Community Members and Business Partners,
The Park County Livestock Committee cordially invites you to support the upcoming 2026 Park County Junior Livestock Sale. This event is the culmination of a year’s worth of dedication, early mornings, and hard work by our local 4-H youth.
Why Support the Junior Livestock Sale?
The primary benefit to you is the opportunity to purchase high-quality, locally raised meat while directly investing in the future of Park County’s young leaders.
- Quality You Can Taste: Our steers follow a rigorous 215-day feeding program, while sheep and hogs are fed for an average of 78 days. These animals are raised in a stress-free environment to ensure a superior carcass. Historically, Park County beef consistently grades at USDA Choice or Prime levels.
- Investing in Our Youth: For our members across all six of our Park County 4-H clubs, this is more than a hobby; it is a business venture. Producing an animal that meets strict grading standards while managing expenses is a significant challenge. Your participation recognizes their effort and helps fund their future education or next year’s project.
- Business Exposure: For our local business owners, purchasing an animal provides excellent advertising value and demonstrates your commitment to the Park County community.
Join Us for the Experience
If you can attend in person, it is an event you won’t soon forget. The energy of the Livestock Barn and the rhythm of the auctioneer’s cry create an atmosphere of excitement and community pride.
