Thurston county market sale

The Thurston County Youth Market Animal Sale at the county fair has come to a close for 2025, but I would like to put a plug in for businesses to consider supporting T county kids for 2026.

Let’s be blunt, the kids in these fair barns are the future of agriculture in Thurston County. If you want local food in the future decades, it starts right here!

My ranch was one of maybe 20’ish? businesses that showed up to support the kids at the live auction. Thurston county we can do better than this!

These kids spend sometimes years on their fair projects and the amount of personal growth that comes from 4-h and FFA projects is just incredible!

Kids typically start getting invitation letters out to businesses around May/June ahead of the sale. Animals auctioned are: steers, hogs, lambs, turkeys, and chickens.

Any specific details feel free to message me, I will be there at the auction the first Saturday of August in 2026 to support our future ag kids, will you?!
