Part of 2021 Augusta County Market Animal Show & Sale (live auction by Allied Auctioneers)

Starting at $1.00

Status: No sale

The hallmark of what is known today as the Augusta County 4-H & FFA Market Animal Show and Sale began at the Staunton Union Stockyard.  During the 70's, show organizers again changed the name of the event to the Market Animal Show. The show began to be held over a two-day period, with the sale starting on Thursday evening. Since then, the show's location has moved to Augusta Expo in Fishersville where it takes place over a 4 day period, with weigh-in taking place Wednesday evening and the sale on Saturday.  The mission of the Augusta County 4-H/FFA Market Animal Show is to encourage positive youth development through 4-H/FFA livestock projects. The primary focus of the program is to assist youth in developing life skills such as working with others, accepting responsibility, developing a strong work ethic, and exhibiting good character.
