The fitting and showing classes and market animal-type classes for beef, sheep, swine and goats are scheduled for Friday.
The Clallam County Junior Livestock Auction is a non-profit organization that provides youth with the opportunity to raise and sell livestock to the public. Hogs, lambs, steers and goats will be sold by the pound, while ducks, turkeys and rabbits will be sold per animal, and meat chickens will be sold in a pen of three.
All livestock entered into the sale must meet a strict set of rules to ensure overall quality and health.
Bidders can sign up prior to the auction or on the day of the sale. Proxy bidding also is available for bidders unable to attend the live auction.
The auction is a non-terminal sale. Buyers may pick up the live animals or have them processed by the auction.
Harvesting, cutting, wrapping and curing/smoking of the meat may be arranged by the auction, but all costs will be paid by the buyer.
