ABOUT US
The purpose of the Cassia County 4-H/FFA Market Animal Sale Committee is to assist, through education, the 4-H/FFA youth of Cassia County. The Committee is a nonprofit 501(c)3 corporation.
The market animal sale is the climax of a year's project for 4-H and FFA members. As a learning and business experience, these young people have selected, fed, and groomed either a beef, swine, dairy heifer, lamb, turkey, goat, or rabbit. They have brought their project to the Fair to be judged, graded and sold. This is their market place. Here they present their stock and receive monetary value for their project and year of labor.
