–A total of 869 animals sold for more than $2.1 million by 4-H and FFA students during the Junior Livestock Auction last weekend at the California Mid-State Fair, according to reports.

Add-ons, which allow interested parties to give additional funds toward an animal’s purchase, increased the total by $200,432, reports say. The total without add-ons was down from the 2018 Junior Livestock Auction, which drew about $2.2 million.

In total:

  • 97 heifers sold for $382,400.
  • 87 steers sold for $466,607.25.
  • 188 lambs sold for $337,485.
  • 426 hogs sold for $863,276.
