Fillmore FFA Brings Home 3 Champion Titles from Ventura County Fair
By Bob Crum — Wednesday, August 14th, 2019
The 2019 Jr. Livestock Auction is on the books with three Fillmore winners this past week. As usual, the building was full of eager bidders. As the auctioneer noted, the Ventura County Fair Jr. Livestock Auction is the most attended, most involved auction of its kind in the state. Thousands of dollars are awarded to the kids for their efforts and hard-earned awards. Many of the winning bidders donate the animals to Food Share. Pictured is Erin Berrington who raised a 1,252 pound FFA Reserve Champion steer, named Keegan, that fetched $5.00 a pound at the auction. Photos Courtesy Bob Crum.
