1. Sponsor a class or an award

Is there a specific award like the Herdsman, Carcass, or Grand Champion that is special to you? Are you particularly fond of a specific class? This is a great option for alumni and local folks who want to contribute to a specific portion of the Show & Sale. 

2. Sponsor the Buyer's Dinner

Each year we host a Buyer's Dinner for the buyer's from the previous year as a thank you. 

3. Purchase an animal during the sale

Buyers Guide to Purchasing Livestock

 4. Donate to the Susan P. Rucker Scholarship Hog Fund 

The Scholarship Hog Fund was dedicated in memory of Susan P. Rucker to honor her service to the Fauquier Livestock Show & Sale program youth. Ms. Rucker served as a Show & Sale Manager for over ten years providing tremendous support to the youth in 4-H. Each year a graduating exhibitor raises a hog that is auctioned during the sale to benefit the Scholarship Fund. Graduating exhibitors who have participated for at least 3 years are eligible to receive a scholarship. 

5. Share information with others about Show & Sale!

Participating in a 4-H or FFA market animal project is a big commitment, for months (or longer for steers) exhibitors work hard to raise their animals to market standards, keeping them healthy and happy, and getting them ready for the show ring. Many of the youth reinvest their money into future projects or save for continued education. Purchasing an animal is a special act of support for youth, without buyers these projects would not be possible. 

There are several options for purchasing an animal. Don't let that phrase scare you, you don't actually have to take the animal home!

1. You want to keep that animal - place the winning bid during the sale and head on over to the sales office. If you know that you are purchasing an animal to keep, we recommend arranging for a slot at a local slaughter house. We have limited slots at local processors to accommodate our sale.

Keep in mind, there are fees associated with processing and you must provide a cut sheet to the slaughter house with your preferences. Then, when the animal has been processed, the slaughter house will get in touch with you to pick up your meat. 

2. You do not want to keep the animal - if you place the winning bid on an exhibitors animal during the sale, but do not want to take that animal home, you have the option of "flooring" it. Flooring means that you will pay the difference between the winning bid and the predetermined floor price of that animal. You will no longer be responsible for the animal and it will be taken to the livestock market instead. Basically, you are making a donation to the exhibitor as you will not receive any product in return.
