Wallowa County Fair’s Fat Stock Sale sets new record
By BILL BRADSHAW
Wallowa County Chieftain
ENTERPRISE — A total
of $468,035 was bid on live-
stock auctioned during this
year’s Wallowa County Fair
Fat Stock Sale that concluded
the fair Saturday, Aug. 13,
according to the county fair
offi ce.
It was another record-
breaking year. Last year’s
sale yielded $360,345 in a
fair that was coming out of
the COVID-19 pandemic.
At the time, county Com-
missioner Todd Nash said he
didn’t recall another sale that
yielded such high proceeds,
making this year’s even more
of a record.
Nash said during this
year’s sale he was concerned
that there weren’t as many
animals, but the kids largely
got what they deserved.
Another way to get the
kids what they deserved,
Nash said, was to ensure
speedy payment. That was
accomplished earlier this
year when the Board of
Commissioners was off ered
an interest-free bridge loan
of about $70,000 from Com-
munity Bank so the 4-H’ers
and FFA kids could be paid
promptly.
But the champion live-
stock didn’t always mean the
top-dollar sales.
Among the market beef,
both grand champions — 4-H
and FFA — sold for $5,000
each. Aleksis Miller had the
4-H champion, while Gunnar
McDowell had the FFA steer.
Miller’s weighed in at
1,369 pounds with a fl oor
value of $1,848.15. McDow-
