Meet one of the dedicated exhibitors working toward this year’s Jr. Livestock Auction 🐖🐄🐑
Payden Chan, a Fresno-Central FFA junior at Central High School, is putting in the time and dedication as they prepare for this year’s auction. Here’s their story:
Payden joined FFA because they needed something steady and meaningful in their life. Growing up, Payden had to figure out a lot on their own, and that made things feel heavy sometimes. When they found FFA, it felt like a place where they could finally put their energy into something positive. Raising dairy market goats became a big part of that. It wasn’t just a project it became something Payden could rely on.
This year Payden is showing Appa, a shy dairy market goat. Payden has focused on feeding, training, and helping Appa feel comfortable during practice. Even though he’s shy, Appa trusts Payden.
Show your support for Payden and fellow 4-H and FFA exhibitors by participating in the Jr. Livestock Auction as a buyer or through an add-on bid. Your involvement helps recognize the hard work, dedication, and time these students put into their projects.
The 2026 Big Fresno Fair Jr. Livestock Auction begins Saturday, October 10, with additional sales continuing Saturday, October 17.
