What is the Junior Livestock and Dairy Auction?The Junior Livestock and Dairy Auction is an annual auction held on Saturday of the Jefferson County Fair. Jefferson County 4-H and FFA exhibitors spend several months selecting, feeding, grooming and training their steers, lambs, hogs and dairy animals in preparation for the Jefferson County Fair. After showing their animals earlier in the Fair week, exhibitors have the opportunity to sell one animal at the Junior Livestock & Dairy Auction.

All animals sold meet quality grade and weight requirements (or in the case of dairy animals, have been selected for their outstanding characteristics) determined by the industry and the Meat Animal Project (MAP) committee. In addition, exhibitors are required to go through proper training in Meat Animal Quality Assurance, selection, feeding, health, fitting and showing techniques.

Bidders (local businesses, individuals, etc.) can buy these animals or make a monetary donation to not only recognize exhibitors’ hard work, but to also support local agriculture and promote your business.

Note: When you make a purchase as part of the Dairy Honors/Miss Q Dairy Auction you are donating to the youth member and will receive a special dairy-related item. There is no option to purchase the animal.THANK YOU TO ALL BUYERS AND BIDDERS!

How Do I Participate?

Before the sale:• If you are contacted by a local exhibitor and fill out a buyer card, you will receive two fair tickets

and two lunch tickets for a buyers’ lunch.• If you are not contacted by a local exhibitor, but would like to attend the sale as a buyer, please

contact the MAP Committee.Day of the sale:

• Register.• Pick up your buyer sign and sale program.• Join us for a complimentary buyers’ luncheon.

At the sale:• Bid in terms of price per pound (or per lot in the Milk Quality or Dairy Honors Auction).• Buyers may take a photo with the exhibitor and animal immediately following the purchase.• If you purchase an animal, visit the checkout area for invoicing and payment.

What Happens After Purchasing?When you purchase a steer, lamb or hog you have three options:

1. Buy the animal outright. Purchase the animal for the live weight price at the end of bidding. The MAP Committee arranges for your animal to go to a local processing plant of your choice: Country Meat Cutters, Detjen’s, Pernat’s, River’s Edge, Wilson Meats, Johnstown Foods or Sorg’s Quality Meats. Animals that are purchased outright will have a processing fee.

2. Bid for an “Over Market Bonus.” In the sale catalog, there is a market price for each steer, lamb or hog. “Over Market Bonus” is the gavel price minus the market price. This is the amount of the donation that you would make to the youth. The youth retains ownership of the animal.

Example: 1,000 lb. steer at $1.10/lb. gavel price and $1.00/lb. market price $1.10/lb. gavel price minus $1.00/lb. market price = $.10/lb. $.10/lb. x 1,000 lb. steer = $100 paid by buyer3. Show rights. Some exhibitors may ask buyers for “show rights” to exhibit their meat animals at the

Wisconsin State Fair a few months later. The project member will work with the buyer to determine the final destination of the animal. If the animal is in the Governor’s Auction at State Fair, the market price from the Jefferson County sale is returned to the buyer.
