OC Fair Junior Livestock Auction and Why Your Support Matters

The annual OC Fair Junior Livestock Auction supports 4-H and FFA educational programs throughout Orange County. Each purchase directly finances and supports individual youth participants who are working to become future agriculture and community leaders.

As a buyer, you help these young participants to finance future animal projects as well as their overall agricultural, general education and life experiences. Additionally, you receive high-quality, locally sourced food for you and your family to enjoy.

Each youth participant spends 3-9 months and countless hours raising and caring for their livestock projects learning the benefits of experience, responsibility and dedication as well as animal care and entrepreneurialism.

Only Market Beef, Goats, Lambs, Hogs, Turkeys, Broilers and Rabbits that earn a blue ribbon, “market-ready” award are permitted to sell in the Junior Livestock Auction and all Champions, Reserve Champions, Grand Champions and Reserve Grand Champions in each species are required to sell in the auction. This simply means the best of the best are available for you to purchase!

About 4-H

4-H is the nation’s largest youth development organization reaching more than six million youth from ages 5 to 19 years old around the nation. 4-H is focused on empowering youth to reach their full potential by focusing on four personal development areas or the four H’s: Head, Heart, Hands and Health. 4-H’ers spend their extracurricular time on projects focused on citizenship, healthy living and science so they can make a positive impact on their communities and the world. For more details, visit www.4-h.org.

About FFA (Future Farmers of America) Created in 1928, the Future Farmers of America (FFA) is a national youth organization with over 7,500 chapters from Alaska to the Virgin Islands and Maine to Hawaii.

The Buyer Experience 1. Come to the Livestock Show Ring at the OC Fair on Auction Day, Saturday, July 20. Gate 10 and

Yellow Gate Entrance will be open at 8 a.m. Check-in tables open at 9 a.m. Auction activities start at 10 a.m.

a. New buyers (i.e. you did not make a purchase in last year’s auction): There is a non-refundable $15 processing fee charged to all new buyers (this fee will be credited toward any purchase made at this year’s auction). New buyers can park inside Gate 10 off Newport Blvd. and enter the Fair through Yellow Gate. Parking is $10. See page 15 for a map and driving directions.

i. New Buyer Pre-Registration will be available online June 1 through the Wednesday before auction at ocfair.com/junior-livestock-auction.

ii. On Auction Day new buyer registration starts at 9 a.m. b. Last year’s buyers are automatically registered for this year’s auction and will be sent

information for this year’s auction directly. c. Add-ons will not need to register to be a buyer. Add-ons are only accepted on Auction Day. d. If you are unable to attend, you may send a representative or a “proxy buyer” to make a

purchase for you. The required Buyer Authorization Form is included at the end of this handbook.

2. Check in at the Buyers’ Tent near the Livestock Show Ring (pre-registered buyers from last year are listed by first name) and pick up your packet with your sales book, buyer paddle and two wristbands with two complimentary meals each. Additional guests must register as buyers to receive meal wristbands.

3. Enjoy a complimentary breakfast (starting at 9:30 a.m.) and Opening Ceremonies at 10 a.m. with the Pledge of Allegiance, national anthem, scholarship announcements, auction rules and the Parade of Champions. Don’t forget to peruse the sales book to earmark any animals you might be interested in purchasing.

4. 10:30 a.m. – Let the bidding begin! 5. When you see an animal you would like to buy, simply raise your paddle high enough for the

auctioneer to see. If other bidders also raise their paddles, keep raising your paddle each time you want to raise the bid until the auctioneer announces “Sold!” finalizing the bidding for that animal.

6. When you win a bid, an auction runner will come to you with your invoice and an Auction Sale Contract to complete your purchase. (See page 7-9 for the Auction Sale Contract details.)

7. Before you leave the auction, stop by the Livestock Office to complete your purchase. Purchases must be paid on Auction Day.

8. The auction will continue until all the qualified animals have been sold. Lunch is also provided to buyers. After the auction please feel free to enjoy the rest of the Fair.

Auction Tips

Make sure you check your freezer space before making a purchase or make arrangements to store your purchase once it’s been processed and packaged. A 1,200-pound beef can produce more than 486 pounds of packaged meat.

Arrive before the auction starts at 10 a.m. so you have time to look through the sales book, enjoy breakfast and prepare yourself for bidding.

Add-ons are a great way to support a youth participant without purchasing an actual animal or paying a large amount of money. The Auction Sales Book lists all the youth participants you can provide additional support to. See page 6 for more details about add-ons.

Buyers can team up to purchase an animal together. Up to four buyers can bid together simply by raising their paddles at the same time and indicate to the auctioneer it is a group bid.

If you do not want the packaged meat product from the animal(s) you purchased, you can still support the youth participants:

o Buy Back: Select this on your Auction Sale Contract and your purchase will be resold commercially at market price by the auction staff. You pay the difference between the market price and your bid and the youth exhibitor receives the full amount.

5

o Scholarship/Donation: Select one of the four available nonprofit programs or youth scholarships and your purchase will be resold commercially at market price with proceeds from your bid and the resale going to the selected program or scholarship. See page 10 for your donation options.

Add-Ons: What Are They and Why Do We Have Them?

An “add-on” is a form of support, above and beyond the auction sale price of the animal that you identify for a particular student you are supporting.

Any amount over the $5 minimum per lot can be given through an “add-on” without actually purchasing the animal.

Add-ons only can be done on Auction Day.

If unable to complete add-ons on Auction Day, you can always write a check directly to the particular student to show your support.

Add-ons can help students to break even on their livestock projects if they get low bids at the Junior Livestock Auction.

Add-ons can also be given if you think the student did an excellent job on their livestock project and deserve a little extra money to put toward their education, future projects or life expenses.

Participants must have an animal in the auction in order to receive add-ons.

How to Participate in the Add-On Program:

1. On Auction Day, select an exhibitor/lot number you want to add-on to from the Junior Livestock Auction Sales Book.

2. Complete the necessary form to indicate the add-on amount you want to pay ($5 minimum per lot) for your selected exhibitor or lot.

3. Return the paperwork to the Add-On Table and complete your payment.

*Add-On Table opens at 9 a.m. on Auction Day.

The Seller Experience 1. To secure individuals to purchase project animals, it is strongly recommended that exhibitors send

out buyer’s letters to all potential buyers inviting them to the Junior Livestock Auction. 2. Exhibitors should read all market competition and auction rules and guidelines prior to arriving to

the fairgrounds. 3. Exhibitors receiving a blue ribbon in their market class – which signifies that the animal exhibited

is market ready – can be entered in the Junior Livestock Auction. Those exhibitors planning to sell their animal in auction must sign their animal in on the day of the species market show. The deadline to sign an animal into the Junior Livestock Auction is one hour after completion of judging for that species. Exhibitors not planning to sell their animal through auction do not need to sign any paperwork after the conclusion of the market show for that species.

4. Once sign-ups are complete a proof list will be posted. Exhibitors will be reminded to check the proof list for accuracy of name, school or club and species of livestock being sold.

5. The 2019 Junior Livestock Auction is Saturday, July 20, starting at 10 a.m. 6. Exhibitors MUST continue to care for your animal until Sunday, night July 21. Final cleaning of

animal pens will begin after 10 p.m. on Sunday evening (once the all-clear has been given over the loudspeaker). Exhibitors will make sure animals are given water at the conclusion of pen cleaning and just prior to leaving the fairgrounds.

7. Exhibitors will receive an auction packet (auction check, buyer and add-on information list with addresses) from their leader/advisor. Exhibitors are STRONGLY ENCOURAGED to send a thank you letter to all individuals who supported their project, which should include leaders and/or advisors.

6

Auction Guidelines 1. The auction is limited to Orange County 4-H and FFA exhibitors. 2. All 4-H/FFA Champions, 4-H/FFA Reserve Champions, Grand Champions and Reserve Grand

Champions must sell at the auction. 3. The OC Fair is a Partial Terminal show meaning ALL champions (Beef, Hogs, Goats and

Lambs) are required to go through the Junior Livestock Auction and then directly to the processing plant designated by the OC Fair Livestock Department. These champions cannot leave the grounds as live pick-up sales.

4. Small animals are pick-up live only. 5. Only Market Beef, Goats, Lambs, Hogs, and Rabbit Pens that are judged Blue Ribbon “Market

Ready” will be permitted to sell at auction. 6. Auction animals are to be consigned through the OC Fair Livestock Office only. 7. Due to privacy laws, the OC Fair Livestock Office will not provide copies of buyer lists. 8. Non-auction animals may be consigned in the Livestock Office only on Thursday, July 18, from

10 to 11:30 a.m. (A non-refundable $32 fee plus processing costs apply.)

Sellers:

9. Exhibitors may sell one animal in the auction. 10. Each exhibitor with eligible animals must indicate with the Livestock Office which animal is to be

entered in the auction. Auction sign-up deadline is one hour after completion of judging: Friday, July 12: Goats and Lambs Wednesday, July 17: Hogs Sunday, July 14: Beef and Rabbit Pens

11. Seller will be charged a $27 fee for animals sold through the auction. (Fees are used toward buyer hospitality, paperwork and check processing and photos for buyers and sellers.)

12. Exhibitors selling animals in the auction must wear official 4-H/FFA uniforms (refer to Junior Department rules).

13. No animal can be sold through the auction without an official OC Fair ear tag. A replacement tag will be supplied if necessary.

14. Decorating of animal(s) is not permitted. 15. Sellers are obligated to solicit and secure buyers to attend the auction prior to the auction. Sellers

may not actively solicit buyers in the show ring, buyer check-in area, add-on area, etc. on auction day.

16. Sellers may not approach auctioneer for special requests or announcements on Auction Day. 17. Any scratches requested after 1 p.m. on Thursday, July 18, will be charged a $40 fee (cash

only). Exhibitors are responsible for scratching their animal. 18. Sellers are encouraged to thank their buyer. However, sellers are not allowed to contact their buyer

for the purposes of asking buyer to not send their animal to market, asking buyer to donate/trade animal back to the seller/school/club/etc., or asking buyer to send their animal to a no-kill shelter. This behavior is inappropriate and jeopardizes the Junior Livestock Auction Program.

Buyers:

19. Auction weight limits are imposed such that the auction book will list the true weight of the animals, but the buyer will only be required to pay up to the following maximum weight limits:

Market Beef – 1,350 lbs. Market Hogs – 280 lbs. Market Lambs – 145 lbs. Market Goats – 110 lbs.

20. There is a four-buyer maximum per lot/sales invoice for animal purchase. 21. No new buyer pre-registration. New buyers must register on Auction Day starting at 9 a.m. There is

a non-refundable $15 processing fee charged to all new buyers. For new buyers who purchase an animal through the auction, the $15 processing fee will be credited toward their purchase.

22. When the auctioneer says “SOLD,” the animal is the property of the buyer. However, the seller is responsible for caring for the animal(s) until it is loaded on the truck on the Sunday after the auction. Seller failure to do so will result in forfeiture of premiums.

23. OC Fair Livestock Department will ONLY accept and process add-ons for market competitors that have an animal going through the Junior Livestock Auction.

Buy Back (Resale at Market Price)

Pick-Up Live

You or a representative will come to the OC Fair at the appointed time to load and haul away the animal you purchased.

Choose this option if you want to keep the animal live and can arrange for hauling. You must include the pickup person’s name and phone number and provide this person with your copy of the sales agreement (if you are not picking up the animal yourself). Note: ALL Champions (Beef, Hogs, Goats and Lambs) are required to go through processing.

More than 50,000 children receive free tours every year to learn about the important role that agriculture plays in our daily lives. The Centennial Farm Foundation, a nonprofit community-based financial support group, invites private citizens, businesses and corporate organizations to lend their financial support to these worthwhile and unique educational projects. Visit ocfair.com/centennialfarm for details. James Bailey Scholarship Jim Bailey was involved and committed to the agriculture industry all of his life, from his beginning on a farm in rural Missouri to his diverse experiences in Orange County and at the OC Fair. For 31 years, Jim Bailey was an Agriculture Teacher in the Fullerton Union High School District. Upon his retirement from the District in 1989, his family and friends established a scholarship program in his honor. The scholarship is awarded to students in the Fullerton Union High School District who demonstrate a commitment to agriculture by pursuing a profession in Agriculture Education.

Orange County 4-H

“Head, Heart, Hands, and Health” are the four H's that make up the 4-H pledge and are the cornerstones of an organization which reaches more than 2,000 youth in Orange County. The program emphasizes leadership development through project participation, community service and record-keeping. The Orange County 4-H program, organized through the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) and the University of California, is now 100 percent dependent on private funding for its operation (other than salaries) because of county budget restraints. Visit ocf4h.org for details. Bobbi Rach and Diane Siebert Scholarship Each year, this coveted award is given to one outstanding 4-H member who is selected for being an active participant in a well-rounded variety of projects, school activities and community service. Leadership and leadership potential are emphasized in the candidate selection. First awarded in 1990, this scholarship was established in memory of one of Orange County’s most dynamic and inspirational 4-H leaders, Bobbi Rach. Diane Siebert was a dedicated leader to 4-H leading projects and supporting her community and through her passion and support she greatly influenced the lives of many 4-H youth. This scholarship is completely funded by donations and is awarded from an annual interest. *Note: Add-ons cannot be made to donation/scholarship programs. Individuals interested in

contributing to the above programs are encouraged to donate directly to each organization.

The goal for exhibitors is to cover their expenses and to also make a profit to further fund their future projects, education or life expenses. However, their foremost goals and the ones that are of utmost importance are that exhibitors acquire the experience, dedication and responsibility that they learn

while raising their livestock projects. Buyers can help the youth exhibitors obtain all of their goals.
