Public invited to the Sale of Champions

PRINCETON — The 13th annual Bob Talbot Memorial 4-H Sale of Champions will take place at 3 p.m. Saturday at the sale barn during the Bureau County 4-H Fair held at the Bureau County Fairgrounds in Princeton.

Each 4-H member exhibiting a market livestock project in beef, swine, sheep, meat goats, rabbits, poultry and waterfowl will be eligible to auction an animal in the sale.

Owners of the livestock, 4-H youth, will have the option of auctioning their animals. At the discretion of the youth and the winning bidder, the auctioned off animal may then be returned to the youth owner for completion of the show season, returned to the youth or may be taken possession of immediately after the auction by the highest bidder.

Individuals and businesses are welcome to attend the sale to bid on these livestock champions, or they may make contributions to help support this sale. Supporting businesses and individuals will be recognized at the 4-H Sale of Champions.
