Thank You to Our 2021 Livestock Buyers; It Was a Record Year!

The numbers are officially in for the 2021 Jr. Livestock Auction sales, which took place both Saturdays of The Big Fresno Fair!

Meet Oscar Glass, a Sierra 4-H student who is a 7th grader at Sierra Junior High School:

 

“Oscar Glass is 12 years old and a 7th grader at Sierra Junior High School. He is a member of Sierra 4-H and has been since he was 9 years old. He joined 4-H to learn more about the things he likes to do, like spending time with goats. Oscar says he loves his goats because they are a team and he enjoys spending time with them and managing their growth. His favorite part of showing goats is spending time with his friends getting ready to go into the show ring. 

 

Oscar will be showing 2 Boer wether goats this year and their names are Batman and Cash. He’s also showing a breeding doe named Wonder Woman. He will be selling Batman at The Big Fresno Fair’s Jr. Livestock Auction after a sixth month show carrier.”
