The premium sale closed out the show Saturday as premiums were sold on animal projects. At total of $42,550 was raised on the sale of premium on 66 animals. Premiums are money that go directly to FFA and 4-H students who showed and is used to enhance their stock show experience by funding feed and equipment, as well as funding entry fees, travel and lodging, and other expenses for competing at major shows. At least one animal project for each exhibitor was sold with the proceeds benefiting the student’s stock show efforts.

The cake auction, which benefits Olton 4-H and FFA Ag Project Center by funding upkeep and expansion efforts, preceded the premium sales and garnered $6,960 on the sales of 23 cakes.

Leonard Lawson served as auctioneer for the premium sale and the cake auction. David Pinkerton served as the ring announcer. Kevin Hukill serves as president of the Olton Junior Livestock Association.
