π·π Fair Week is upon the Cheff boys! ππ·
Sadly, itβs been a tough year with our market pigs. Out of all three boysβ projects, the only pig that will make weight for this yearβs livestock sale is my oldest son, Macβs, market hog, Tatiana.
Every year, so many of my amazing clients ask how they can support our boys in 4-H, so I wanted to share a few ways you can help!
π
Come support the Missoula County 4-H Livestock Sale on August 8th! Mac and Tatiana will be in the sale ring, and weβd love to see familiar faces cheering him on.
π Ways to support:
β’ Attend the sale and cheer Mac on.
β’ Purchase his market hog if youβre looking to support local youth and agriculture.
β’ Bump his sale! If youβre not buying an animal, you can still support Mac by adding a fixed dollar amount (for example, $25) or an amount per pound to his final sale price.
β’ Canβt attend but want to buy? A proxy buyer can bid on your behalf.
π Pre-registering for the sale is a great way to get prepared if youβre interested in buying at the auction!
Price Bumps
If youβre interested in bumping an animalβs sale price, contact Autumn Gilleard at 406-544-5300 during fair week.
Proxy Buyer Information
If youβd like to buy but canβt attend, contact Dale Clouse at 239-4971 to arrange bidding in your name, or reach out to Autumn Gilleard at 406-544-5300 or [email protected] during fair week.
Thank you all for supporting not only my business, but also our family and these kids as they learn responsibility, hard work, and perseverance through 4-H. Your encouragement means more than you know. β€οΈ
Now, if youβll excuse meβ¦ bear with me while I somehow get 3 pigs and 4 goats to the fair this week. π΅βπ«π Wish us luck!
