One of our big beauties!

So what if it has ripped skin (we save those ones for ourselves, our customers get the best chickens).

Chicken pickup is this weekend! If you were expecting to hear from me and did not, send me a message!

Contact me if you’d like a quarter cow! We have one half sold but are now willing to break this into quarters. Olson’s wants a cut list by tomorrow.

Sunday, at the King County Youth Livestock Auction, the last animal through the ring was a beautiful market steer raised by an 11-year-old local boy.

By the time his steer came up, many buyers had already spent their budgets, and the bidding just wasn’t reflecting the months of hard work he had put into his project. We couldn’t sit back and watch him walk away disappointed, so we jumped in to help make sure he received a more fair price for his steer.

Why am I telling you this?

We don’t actually need the beef—and we already have a waitlist for our own beef. But we know there’s a huge demand for locally raised, high-quality beef, and we’d love to connect this steer with families who have been patiently waiting.

I know this is a last-minute opportunity, but if you’ve been hoping to fill your freezer with locally raised beef while also supporting a hardworking young livestock exhibitor, send me a message. We’d love to make this a win for everyone.

Right now, our preference is to sell by the half and we have one half available. If we aren’t able to do that, we’ll look at offering quarters.

If you let us know soon, you’ll have the opportunity to choose your own cuts and how you’d like your beef processed.

Why do we raise Cornish Cross meat birds?
The return on investment is great! Nice big birds in a relatively short amount of time.

Update: Thank you to our community for showing up for these kids!! There was 40+ turkeys for sale (the most ever!) and I was concerned that the prices would be really low due to that. But they weren’t! Often times, kids lose money on these projects.

The value isn’t in the money. They learn and gain so much more from the experience (responsibility, discipline, budgeting, salesmanship, marketing, public speaking, stewardship, etc.) But the monetary reward at the end definitely helps keep them motivated.

I encourage the community to attend next year! The auction is so much fun! The pride on these kids faces….priceless! Start saving for next year, because the kids with larger animals really need to get higher bids. Talk to your friends and family about splitting up a steer, pig, goat or lamb. Those kids really need our support. One steer almost went for less than the sales barn cull cattle do 😱.

Let’s keep kids excited about agriculture! The future of our food system depends on it!

Thank you again for everyone who participated and made this years auction a great one!

My kids will be auctioning their 4-h Market Projects at the King County Youth Livestock Auction at the King County Fair!
