The 2026 Kitsap Junior Livestock Auction will be Saturday, August 29th at Noon by the Swine Barn.

Unfamiliar with the Junior Livestock Auction?

Join us this year for the 2026 Kitsap Junior Livestock Auction. We have an excited group of youth ready to share their passion, hard work, and tasty product with you! If you have a freezer, a passion for supporting your community, or respect for extremely hardworking youth, you need to check out this awesome event held annually during the Kitsap Fair and Stampede in the auction/swine ring. 

Your support and contributions make it possible for kids to learn even more by purchasing next year's projects, saving for college, and giving them a jumpstart on their future.

Kids in the auction organization start an animal just after weaning, have to feed them at a very specific growth rate, provide their care and proper health needs, train them for exhibition, and then market their animal in the community in the hopes of finding a few buyers for an exciting auction lot!

The auction is open to any youth aged 8-18 that is able to attend.  Members of 4H, FFA, or Open Class participants are encouraged to enter no more than two total entries from any animal class: steer, swine, lamb, goat, rabbit, or poultry.  Participants are required to keep records of their project, complete the current year's Youth Quality Care of Animals (YQCA) program, and register to be an exhibitor at the Kitsap Fair and Stampede. 

For detailed information about participation, please find the Market Rules in the Resources.
