This program is important to me because it not only teaches me more about these animals that get shown but also the process of everything. It teaches me about things I wouldn\u2019t have known without joining.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>My goat project has been an adventure. From the first day I got my goat, he was always very shy. But as he\u2019s gotten to know me and me to know him, we\u2019ve grown closer than I expected. This didn\u2019t happen overnight, I\u2019ve spent multiple hours after school and during summer to earn his trust and since then he\u2019s been one heck of a project. The one thing he\u2019s taught me is, patience is key.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Help support Jacob and fellow 4-H and FFA exhibitors by participating in the Jr. Livestock Auction as a buyer or through an add-on bid. Every contribution makes a difference.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The 2026 Big Fresno Fair Jr. Livestock Auction kicks off Saturday, October 10, with additional sales continuing Saturday, October 17.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Details on how to become a buyer or place an add-on bid will be available soon. Every bit of support makes a difference for these hardworking students. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fresnofair.com\/p\/getconnected\/jr-livestock-auction\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Learn more here<\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The countdown to the Jr. Livestock Auction continues as we shine a spotlight on the students behind the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":431277,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[112,114,113],"class_list":["post-431276","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-fresno","tag-fresno","tag-fresno-headlines","tag-fresno-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/431276","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=431276"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/431276\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/431277"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=431276"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=431276"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=431276"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
