TVE livestock auction nets big bucks for area youths

The paddles were popping and the bidding was spirited at the Trinity Valley Exposition Youth Livestock Auction on Friday, Oct. 18. In the premium sale alone, the 129 entries amassed more than $383,000.

A freezer sale followed for animals that did not qualify for the premium sale. The total amount raised by the freezer sale is unavailable at this time.

The sale started with a special recognition of Liberty Materials for being the Volume Buyer at last year’s auction. David Welch, representing Liberty Materials, came prepared to keep that tradition going by bidding on five items for a total of $55,150. The bids were for Tanner Lott’s Grand Champion Market Steer – $25,000, Hayden Coleman’s Reserve Market Steer – $18,000, Jules Thonsgard’s AOB Commercial Heifer – $5,500, Jules Thonsgard’s Market Steer – $5,250 and Grace Williams’ Market Swine – $1,400.
