A16 WALLOWA COUNTY FAIR Wallowa County Chieftain Wednesday, August 17, 2022 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.
