About The Jr. Livestock auction:
Each year 4-H and FFA youth exhibitors purchase one or more animals to raise and show at the Livestock Shows held during the annual Brazoria County Fair & Rodeo. The youth exhibitors encounter the cost of feed, grooming supplies, veterinarian, shelter and any other needs required by their show animal. Show animal projects also require the time and dedication of the youth exhibitors who do their best to raise their animals in anticipation of being named “Champion”.
The top youth winners of seven different livestock shows – Rabbits, Chickens, Turkeys, Swine, Lambs, Goats and Steers – will sell their animals in the Junior Livestock Auction which will be held on Thursday, October 16, 2025 at 6 PM in the Gulf Coast Auto Park Auditorium. A Buyer can be an individual, group, company or business and can expect to spend as little as $1000 for an animal.
