The Ohio State Fair Sale of
Champions livestock auction,
a free event for fairgoers, will
be held today in the WCOL
Celeste Center at 2 pm. This
event showcases Ohios
premium livestock, premier
Junior Fair exhibitors and
generous supporters.
On the sale bill will be
grand champion and reserve
champion meat chickens,
market lambs, market barrows
and market beef, as well as
grand champion market goat,
turkey and a block of Swiss
cheese to represent the six
dairy champions.
While these Junior Fair
exhibitors take great pride in
raising a quality animal, the
ultimate goal each year is to
be awarded a grand champion
ribbon. Grand or reserve
champion is an immense
honor for the exhibitor, and with
the Youth Reserve Program
and generous buyers, it is
rewarding for the entire Junior
Fair program.
Last years sale broke
seven records which included
Grand Champion Swiss
Cheese, Grand Champion
Turkey, Grand Champion
Meat Goat, Grand Champion
Meat Chicken, Reserve Grand
Champion Meat Chicken,
Reserve Grand Champion
Market Lamb and Reserve
Grand Champion Barrow. In
total, the 2013 sale amounted
to $344,700.
Established in 1995, the
Youth Reserve Program was
developed to reward junior
exhibitors who participate in
the Fair. Funds for the program
come from the dollars received
over a cap that is placed
on the amount an exhibitor
can receive from the Sale of
Champions. Last year, the
total amount earned for the
Youth Reserve Program was
$267,400. The funds from the
program are distributed among
carcass contests, scholarships,
outstanding market exhibitor
program, outstanding
breeding exhibitor program,
showmanship, skillathons,
4-H and FFA. The Youth
Reserve Program has awarded
$2,291,925 to approximately
31,500 youth exhibitors since
its inception.
In 2013, Youth participation
for both livestock and non-
livestock products increased by
10 percent over 2012. The Ohio
State Fair Sale of Champions
had a 1.5 percent increase
and the funds for the Youth
Reserve Program increased
more than 7 percent from the
previous year. Individual sale
records were broken in multiple
categories. Hopefully this year
will be just as successful!
