Free: Contests & Raffles.
I offered to buy a market hog from a 4h girl this year anticipating a shut down, but she called and told me the floor price on all their hogs was $2.50/lb live weight!I said do it! Someone somewhere stepped up big.
That’s great. People always seem to step up big for these kids. Our show, at this point, is still on. Hoping it sticks but obviously who the heck knows. I’m not going to hold my breath. It’s on the last weekend of August. The market rabbit kids I work with are proceeding as normal right now, but that’s a much less significant investment than a steer or a hog. Most breed and raise their own rabbits. It’s not a huge deal one way or the other for them.
