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.

The Buyer Experience
1. Come to the Livestock Show Ring at the OC Fair on Auction Day, Saturday, July 21. 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 the prior year’s auction) will need to
register when they arrive and pay a $15 registration fee (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.
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. 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 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.
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.
4
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. Send out buyer letters when you purchase your animal to secure buyers for the Junior Livestock
Auction.
2. Read all market competition and auction rules and guidelines.
3. When you receive a blue ribbon (meaning your animal is market ready) in your market class you
can sign up for auction. You will need to come in to the Livestock Office the day the specie showed
and sign up. Auction sign-up deadline is one hour after completion of judging for that specie.
a. To sign up you will find your name on the list. The list is printed by division and is organized
by club, exhibitor name, then animal tag ID.
b. Sign on the signature line if you would like to sign up.
c. If you do NOT want to sign up for auction do NOT sign.
4. Once sign-ups are complete the office will post the list of people that signed up for auction outside
on the office patio wall. Please check to make sure your name is on the list.
5. On the Thursday before auction the Livestock Office will announce that the auction order is posted.
Please come to the office patio to find your lot number.
6. On Auction Day, prepare yourself and your animal for the auction ring. Be ready when your lot
number comes up.
a. Note: If you would like to know who purchased your animal, have a representative or
yourself look for the buyer as they bid. Do NOT come into the office to ask who your buyer is
and where they are sitting in the auction ring. You will receive your buyer information when
you receive your check.
7. Once your animal is sold and you exit the Livestock Show Ring, you will have your picture taken
with your animal. You and your buyer will receive a copy when you receive your auction packet.
8. You will continue to care for your animal until Sunday night. You will need to clean your
animal’s pen after 10 p.m. (once the all clear has been given over the loud speaker). You will need
to make sure your animal is given water right before you leave.
9. You will receive your auction packet (auction check, buyer and add-on information list with
addresses) from your leader/advisor. You will need to send a thank you letter to everyone that has
supported you and your project. Don’t forget your leader/advisors.

Centennial Farm Foundation
Centennial Farm, a working farm located at the OC Fair & Event Center, features growing
crops, nursery stock and livestock, which offers visitors a multi-faceted agricultural experience.
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
www.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 www.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.
