The Market Animal Livestock Auction will be held on Saturday, August 9, 2025 at 11:00 am in the Show Arena. Buyer Registration will begin at 10:00 am in the sale office, located near the south end of the Show Arena, and will continue throughout the sale. As in previous years, there will be no animals taken across the sale block. 4-H and FFA members will carry a poster promoting their animals during the sale.
The sale order for 2025 will be: Cheese, Turkeys, Chickens, Ducks, Rabbits, Goats, Hogs, Lambs, Dairy Beef Feeders, Beef Steers, Dairy Steers, Beef Feeders. The top five carcass animals will be sold in each species after the live animals of that species have been sold. All species will be sold as whole carcasses. All carcasses will be standard cut, with the exception of Beef Steers and Dairy Steers. All live animals purchased must be processed at an approved MAC processor and will be processed in a cut of your choosing.
A couple changes to note for this year. We have replaced the Grand Champion and Reserve Champion Project Exhibitor in each species with Outstanding Market Exhibitor. The Best of Show and Reserve Best of Show Animal awards have been replaced with Grand Champion Animal and Reserve Champion Animal. You will also see mention of the Breeders Own award winner, which is awarded to the top animal in each species that was born on the exhibitors’ farm, and the County Pride award winner, which is awarded to the top animal in each species that was born and raised in Ashtabula County.
We encourage you to visit the barns throughout the week and just prior to the start of the sale to meet with the youth and learn more about their projects.
