Junior Livestock Auction Results
Tres Pinos, CA – The 2024 Junior Livestock Auction is a huge success!
Local 4-H and FFA students auctioned off more than 300 animals Saturday and raised $1.1 million…. and counting. Add-ons are open until Friday, October 11th, so the total amount will continue to grow!
Most of the money goes back to the kids to cover the cost of raising their animal and purchasing their next one. Some of the proceeds go to the fairgrounds for improvements to the livestock area.
The Heritage Hog auction, a fundraiser for the San Benito County Heritage Foundation, raised $107,000.
The Foundation was organized to support Bolado Park and many other events which promote and enrich the agricultural heritage of San Benito County.
