On behalf of the 4H and FFA Youth in Scotts Bluff County, we would like to invite you to attend the 2023 Junior Livestock Sale at the Scotts Bluff County Fair, Saturday August 5th beginning at 9:00 am in the Livestock Pavilion at the fairgrounds in Mitchell.

Auction services will be provided by Helberg and Nuss Auctions and Realty and Sugar Valley Stockyards with Platte Valley Bank clerking our sale, invoices will be sent to all successful buyers at the conclusion of the sale. A sale catalog will be available the day of the sale for you to look over, we will also post it on our FB Page (Scotts Bluff County Fair Junior Livestock Sale) or we can email it to you.

When purchasing an animal from the livestock auction that you intend to have processed, you will need to make arrangements with the processor of your choice. Many of the area processors have made changes to their services offered, so please make arrangements now to ensure space for your animal. The Scotts Bluff County Sale and Livestock Committees will not be responsible for the transportation of any animal to processors, however if you need help to arrange transportation, please contact Shain Shimic 307-575-3333. On the back of this letter we have enclosed a list of several area processors and more information to help serve you better. Please note that they reserve the right to change their services.

Supporters interested in group buying options can contact the Friends of Scottsbluff County Junior Livestock Sale Buyers Group. This non-profit group is dedicated to serving the 4H and FFA Youth of Scotts Bluff County by helping the buyers. Please contact Tony Kaufman for more information 308-633-9005 or 308-641-5826.
We will have coffee and donuts available in the Livestock Pavilion before the sale, and we will be serving all buyers a complimentary lunch during the sale, cooked by Backaracks.

We appreciate your support of all of the 4H and FFA youth and the continued legacy of the Scotts Bluff County Junior Livestock Sale. A special thank you to all of those who have purchased animals in the past. Our members have worked this year to raise top quality animals for their projects. The experience and knowledge gained through their hard work will help to serve them in future endeavors in both the agricultural and non-agricultural fields. Please consider supporting our youth and joining us on August 5th. We hope to see you there!
