Official says Curry fair's Junior Livestock Sale a record breaker

The results have been compiled on the Curry County Fair’s Junior Livestock Sale held Friday, Aug. 19.

Mindy Turner is the Family and Consumer Sciences Agent with New Mexico State University’s Curry County extension office. Turner compiled details on the sale and it was a record breaker.

Turner said 97 4-H and FFA youth sold animals for a record setting total of over $424,000.

“We are accepting add-ons until Sept. 1,” Turner said.

For those who aren’t familiar with the term ‘add-ons’ in Junior Livestock Sales, those are “additional monies of any amount that go straight to the youth,” according to Turner.

Turner said for those who would like to “add-on” to any youth who participated in the sale, contact the County Extension Office.

Here are the overall Grand and Reserves, according to Turner:

Grand Champion market swine – Libby Modisette, Texico FFA
