The first-ever Big Fresno Fair Virtual Livestock Sale kicks-off tomorrow Friday, October 9 at 11 a.m. and goes until Monday, October 12 at 11:59 p.m. The Virtual Livestock sale will feature nearly 500 animals from dedicated and hard-working 4-H and FFA members throughout Fresno County.
Leading up to the sale, we’ll be featuring 4-H & FFA exhibitors from participating chapters to highlight their animal project and all their hard work, while also giving buyers and our community a glimpse of animals they can bid on!
Meet Ryann Flach, a Sanger FFA student who is a junior at Sanger High School:
“It is my third year in FFA. We raise Boer goats and market lambs on our family farm in Sanger, CA and I’ve been showing animals at the Fair for over ten years. I started with animal projects in 4-H and when I got to high school I wanted continue showing livestock so I joined FFA. I’m also involved in floral design and the FFA officer team.
My market whether lamb, George, is currently about 130 pounds and he is a commercial cross breed. Being able to keep George in my own backyard allows me to watch over his food intake and make adjustments to his feed as needed. I can monitor is health daily and give him the exercise he needs to build muscle. I’ve learned over the years that all of this really matters and makes a difference in growing healthy, quality show animals.”
Help out these hard-working students in the community! Participate in the sale as a buyer or place an add-on bid!
