Reserve ChampionFFA Market
Samantha Sell, Glenwood $12,500
Buyer: Featherlite, Inc.; Midwest Club Lamb Producers; Blue Grass Shows; Old West Barbeque, Pioneer; $6,300 local support
When the gavel fell silent and the sale ring was cleared for the final time, $182,900 had been raised in the 4-H and FFA Sale of Champions August 20 at the 2005 Iowa State Fair. Seven new record prices for the champions were set.
When added with the $88,500 of scholarships and performance and carcass awards, $271,400 was awarded to young livestock exhibitors through the auspices of the Iowa Foundation for Agricultural Advancement.
Seven new records were set during the bidding including Reserve Champion 4-H Market Heifer, Grand Champion 4-H Market Hog, Grand Champion 4-H Derby Hog, Reserve Champion FFA Market Hog, Grand Champion 4-H Market Lamb, Reserve Champion 4-H Market Lamb and Grand Champion Broiler Pen.
Participants in the Sale of Champions were asked to find hometown supporters to set a floor price for bidding. The purchaser paid the difference between the floor price and the final sale price.
After the sale, a check written for 80 percent of the animal’s sale price goes to the exhibitor. The remaining 20 percent is retained by the IFFAA for the scholarship program and Sale expenses. In addition to their sale proceeds, the exhibitors of the Grand Champion FFA Market Lamb, Grand Champion 4-H Market Hog and Grand Champion 4-H Market Steer each receive the use of a new aluminum livestock trailer for one year courtesy of Featherlite Trailers of Cresco.
