The Death of a Livestock Auction

Hoosier AG Today
Across the Midwest at this time of year, you can hear the sound of the auctioneer. At county fairs and state fairs, the 4-H livestock sale is a celebration of achievement, hard work, and leadership. It is a time when a community comes out to honor young people and reward them with a financial incentive to continue in their project or invest in their higher education. It is a time of optimism about the future of agriculture and a community.
