36
YEARS
The Minnesota 4-H Livestock Auction of
the prize winning animals owned by
Minnesota’s outstanding young
livestock producers will be held at
the Minnesota State Fair on
Saturday, Aug. 29.
The fast moving tempo of this exciting
event, featuring these youthful
exhibitors with their purple ribbon
lambs, goats, hogs and steers; the chant
of the auctioneers, enthusiastic buyers,
and their rewarding bids and purchases
will be featured by the news media of the
entire state.
It’s the 4-H highlight of the entire year!
You are cordially invited to attend,
participate, and become a part of it.
Every young person, and his or her
animal, are champions. They earned the
right to exhibit at the State Fair by
winning at their respective County
Fairs. Because they have done a
superior job of selecting, feeding and
showing, they will be leading their
animals into the auction ring of this
“Cream of the Crop” sale, sponsored by
the Minnesota Livestock Breeders’
Association and the Minnesota 4-H.
With an increase of almost
300% over the past 10 years,
the 4-H Purple Ribbon
Livestock Auction had
another record breaking
year for its 35th year
celebration.
Over $498,000 was raised
with 101 animals on the
auction block—many going
for record amounts.

Become a Buyer
Buyers are Champions Too!
■
By becoming a buyer, you reward a 4-H member’s excellent
achievement in production, inspiring that person to go on to
greater successes and becoming a better citizen.
■
Your premium dollars not only support an individual youth,
but also the entire 4-H program.
■
One of the motivating incentives for youth to engage in the
livestock enterprise is to exhibit their animal projects – first at
the county fair, and then to hopefully win a trip to the great
Minnesota State Fair. The ultimate goal at state fair is to
qualify for inclusion in the 4-H Auction. This is your
opportunity to help these young people celebrate their
success and to encourage them, and others, to even greater
heights of achievement. Livestock can play a major role in
youth development.
■
■
■
You help support Minnesota’s agricultural economy, and its
most important enterprise—an efficient livestock industry.
Animal agriculture is an indispensable base for the economy
of the state and nation.
Grand Champion animals will be on display inside the west
entrance of the Cattle barn during the final nine days of the fair.
Signage will be at the site, advertising your business to over
1.3 million people who visit the fair during that time.
A photo of the animal and its owner will be available for your
promotional purposes. You or your company will be listed in
the following year’s publicity materials, brochure and sales
catalog. You will be recognized for your role as a builder for
a better tomorrow.
ON BEHALF OF OUR YOUNG PEOPLE, A SINCERE
THANK YOU TO ALL SUPPORTERS OF PAST AUCTIONS
– Minnesota Livestock Breeders’ Association
