TULELAKE, Calif. - In lieu of the 69th Annual Tulelake-Butte Valley Fair, the Fair Board and Staff, the Tulelake Rotary Club, and dedicated community members came together to host a successful Youth Livestock Evaluation and Auction on Saturday, September 12th & Sunday, September 13th, 2020.
This year’s evaluation and auction allowed 4-H, FFA, and Independent Market Exhibitors to show and sell their livestock projects in-person while allowing community members the opportunity to participate in this important, time-honored tradition. The evaluation and auction provided a safe setting for all participants, through the adherence to a multi-point plan approved by county and state health officials.
A total of 74 high-quality livestock projects were each sold to the highest bidder on Sunday afternoon. A multitude of purchasing and price support options, including a live-stream auction provided by DV Auctions, allowed buyers and spectators to participate in-person and from afar.
In spite of challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, an unstable water year and a difficult economic environment, the contributions made by our communities exceeded the 2019 auction total by over $30,000 at $281,803.
