Junior Livestock Auction

The Junior Livestock Auction is the culmination of this year's activity for Tehama County’s 4-H, FFA and Independent exhibitors. These young exhibitors select, feed and groom their animals, and the Tehama District Fair is where they present their projects to the judge and receive the monetary value for their product along with public recognition for their efforts.

The Junior Livestock Auction will include all Market Beef, Sheep, Swine, Goats, Rabbits and Poultry on Saturday, May 6, 2023 at 9:00 AM in the Don Smith Pavilion.
