[QUOTE="LauraleesFarm, post: 1152189, member: 14261"] The county south of us has an annual county fair/festival in October. The kids show beef and dairy cattle as well as pigs, goats, chickens etc.. there are quilting and canning and art contests and a whole ton of other non-ag events. Anyhoo the cattle from the show are eligible for the sale. They auction off the kids show cattle and companies like the banks, insurance agencies and businesses bid on and purchase the animals. Many times, the buyer gives the animal back to the kid. It is all about rewarding money for these hard working kids who are showing in agriculture. Then the bank gets to brag that they bought the champion steer for several thousand dollars, and so forth. Its not uncommon for these show animals to run into many thousands of dollars. The kid gets some college money, the animal stays with the kid, and the business gets to advertise their role. Win-win. [/QUOTE]
