85th Annual Jr. Livestock Show & Sale This Weekend

85th Annual Jr. Livestock Show & Sale This Weekend

By Rachel Dahl

The 85th annual Churchill County Junior Livestock Show and Sale runs this week. It begins on April 25 with the traditional Ag in the Classroom event for community 5th graders and ends on April 27 with the auction at 1 p.m.

The event takes place inside the spacious, climate-controlled Rafter 3C Arena, where livestock market animals, including swine, sheep, beef, goat, poultry, and rabbits, will be displayed, shown, and auctioned.

Local youth will participate in classes and judge animals throughout the show and have the opportunity to exhibit the skills they’ve learned in 4-H and the High Desert Grange programs. Students from Oasis Academy and Churchill County High School FFA programs will be on hand to show their animals on Thursday and Friday before the sale on Saturday. 

Churchill County Commission Chair Myles Getto, a product of the Livestock Show himself, said youth will demonstrate project management, decision-making, fiscal responsibility, time management, record keeping, and project evaluation. “The Show and Sale gives our community the opportunity to encourage and reward the youth who are engaged in these positive self-development and education opportunities,” he said.

Options are available for purchasing market animals for processing during the sale on Saturday, and the community is encouraged to team up with a neighbor or friend to split the costs. 

“This is your opportunity to purchase locally raised animals that will yield high-quality meat for your freezer,” said Karen Bogdanowicz, Program Leader for the Churchill County 4-H program.

“As a past showman participant,” said Getto, “I understand the importance of community support to the youth participating in the Junior Livestock Show and Sale, and I’d like to welcome and encourage the community to attend this outstanding event.”

From the editor: This is a very good question and we apologize for not catching that wasn't in there. We reached out to the writer/submitter and got this info back...hope it's helpful. PBM: Pharmacy Benefit Managers are pharmacies that are owned by insurance companies. (CVS is one.) They negotiate with drug makers to get reduced pricing for medications, but they historically have not passed along those savings to patients. https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/pharmacy-benefit-managers-staff-report.pdf MFN: Most Favored Nation pricing is a policy that means a country agrees to offer the same trade concessions (like tariffs or price reductions) to all member nations of the World Trade Organization (WTO). When applied to pharmaceuticals, it could disrupt global access, deter innovation, and obscure the deeper systemic issues in American health care. https://petrieflom.law.harvard.edu/2025/05/22/the-global-risks-of-americas-most-favored-nation-drug-pricing-policy/Comment publication date: 6/23/25, 7:47 AMComment source: L E T T E R TO THE EDITORComment author: Debra J RidenourComment text: So sorry for your loss.
