LIVESTOCK SALES
Supporting New Mexico Youth in the Show Ring and Beyond
Investing in Their Hard Work
For New Mexico’s 4-H and FFA members, the junior livestock sale represents the culmination of months of hard work, responsibility and dedication.
NMJLF works alongside other buyers, businesses and agricultural supporters to help create opportunities for youth participating in junior livestock sales across New Mexico.
Every bid is more than a purchase. It is an investment in a young person and the future of agriculture.

Showing Up for New Mexico’s Youth
Throughout the year, NMJLF raises funds to support youth exhibitors at New Mexico’s three state fair junior livestock sales. Those funds are put to work in the sale ring, where our goal is to help hold the bid floor and ensure exhibitors receive meaningful support for the time, work and dedication invested in their projects.
During each sale, individuals and businesses are also invited to join NMJLF by partnering with us on the purchase of an animal or contributing to the Foundation’s fair budget.
Together, we can help make every trip through the sale ring count.
