Livestock Sale

BID. BUY. DONATE.

This year, we will be partnering with the Central PA Food Bank. If you would like to participate when you buy an animal

(goats, steers, hogs, lambs), hold up your food bank number and pay full bidding price. After that, the food bank will take care of everything else. All of the meat donated will be brought back to Leb. Co.

CAN I SUPPORT THE YOUTH WITHOUT BUYING AN ANIMAL?

Yes, you can “Add-On” to an exhibitor(s). If you are unable to purchase an animal or would like to give an exhibitor more money, you can “Add-On”. You decide what dollar amount you would like to Add- On. Please specify exhibitor(s) and dollar amount per exhibitor and it will be added to the exhibitor’s sale check.

All Add-On’s must be received by

Monday, July 28, 2025. You can give Add-

On’s at the Wednesday or Friday night sale or they can be sent by mail to…

WHY SUPPORT THE YOUTH OF LEBANON COUNTY?

The 4-H and FFA members of Lebanon County work hard to select their animals, raise their animals and train their animals to show at the Lebanon Area Fair. When purchasing a 4-H or FFA member’s project, you are investing in their future while helping to build tomorrow’s leaders. These organizations and projects teach responsibility, public speaking, competition, time and money management, record keeping, professionalism, team building and much more. All of these qualities are developing our future community leaders. Profits from raising their project animals are typically used to finance post-secondary education or to finance next year’s livestock projects. Some exhibitors may use the money to establish their future in an agricultural business. By supporting a youth exhibitor, you are playing a positive role in your future customers or employees.
