The first-ever Big Fresno Fair Virtual Livestock Sale kicks-off next 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 Adieson Glass, a Sierra 4-H student who is in 8th grade at Sierra Junior High. Here’s what Adieson’s 4-H advisor has to say about her:

 

“This is Addie’s 4th year in Sierra 4h. She has participated in many different groups among the Sierra 4-H, but swine is her favorite. For the past 2 years she has been my junior leader and tries to help out all the other exhibitors any chance she has.

 

Addie is very dedicated, hardworking, and responsible. She puts in so many hardworking hours into her swine projects. Addie has started her own swine breeding operation which is a huge step. She has learned a lot in the past 4 years but she never stops trying to soak up as much information as she can. Addie is very driven and committed, she is going to be very successful in this industry.”

Meet Mia Azevedo, a Kingsburg 4-H club member:

 

“My name is Mia Azevedo – I am 14 years old and have completed five years in the Kingsburg 4-H Club. I am in the horse, hippology, dairy goat, dairy market goat, public speaking and HI-C project groups. My passion is horses but goats are a close second. This is my third year to do dairy goats and my first year to do a meat goat project. I am planning to do a dairy goat breeding project in the ‘20–‘21 project year.

 

Last year a friend of our purchased my dairy goat (Holly) and a pregnant goat (Epi) from another project member; these goats are being AI bred in September 2020 and will be the start of my project. Epi has twin does in February 2020 and one of these was going to be my dairy goat for the 2020 Big Fresno Fair. Unfortunately there was a dog attack and the babies were killed. My dairy goat leader did have a goat to purchase that I could use for this year. Her name is Avani and is a Toggenberg/LaMancha cross. I got my meat goat from my goat leader as well. He is a LaMancha and his name is Chef Remy.

 

This year has been challenging but we were optimistic and started the year as we have in past years. We worked with our goats to prepare for whatever was going to happen. I will miss the traditional Fair experience and meeting and talking with the public, potential buyers and the 4-H kids from other clubs. I realized the importance of human (and animal) contact for our physical and mental well-being.”
