Annually the Routt County Junior Livestock Sale is a community event not to miss. Over 100 4-H and FFA youth annually sell high quality livestock at the sale. This is a great opportunity for community members to purchase meat products, while supporting the youth in our community.

Annually Routt County 4-H Youth are required to attend or re-certify in Meat Quality Assurance and Animal Ethics. 4-H members pride themselves in raising healthy wholesome food products.
