It was a warm, lively afternoon at the Logan County Fairgrounds as buyers, families, and supporters packed the sale barn for the 2025 Livestock Auction on Friday.
With more than 250 animals sold, Logan County 4-H and FFA members once again proved that hard work, dedication, and resilience remain at the heart of the fair.
The auction’s most talked-about moment came late in the day when sisters Alivia and Alex Kinney turned heads in the poultry ring.
Alivia’s Champion Roaster Pen of three sold for $3,675—and moments later, Alex’s Reserve Champion Pen matched that exact amount.
This year’s auction followed a strong showing in 2024, when nearly $240,000 was raised on the day of the sale.
While final numbers for 2025 are still being confirmed, early signs suggest another successful year, with numbers being closer to the $200,000 mark.
The auction opened with a sale from Kaitlyn Schlumbohm, whose Grand Champion Beef Steer brought in $3,100.
Coy Yelton followed with his Reserve Champion Steer, earning $1,750.
In dairy, Carson Spencer had the top sale of the day, earning $4,400 for his Reserve Champion Dairy Feeder—a big win in that class.
Moving into the lambs, Chloe Borgerding’s Grand Champion sold for $1800, while Cy Cummins’ Reserve lamb drew a lower price at $1,450.
Goats saw strong support in a packed class.
Jaiden Jackson’s Grand Champion Market Goat brought in $2,115, while Kayla Tracey’s Reserve Champion exceeded that with a $2,575 sale.
In the turkey division, Lauren Kennedy led with her Grand Champion Tom Turkey, which sold for $1,265.
The Reserve, shown by Rylan Cook, sold for $600.
Bidding remained generous when it came to rabbits.
Olivia Dearwester earned $425 for her Grand Champion, and Junah Tingley brought in $1,100 for her Reserve rabbit—one of the most surprising jumps in the category.
Swine sales were also strong.
Hayden Baxley earned $2,850 for her Grand Champion, while Ricky Tevis edged him out with a $2,900 sale for his Reserve.
Wrapping up the auction were the chickens.
Reed Strayer sold his Grand Champion Chicken Meat Pen for $1,525—and his brother, Owen Strayer, earned the same amount for his Reserve Champion Pen.
From the first sale to the final round of applause, the 2025 Logan County Livestock Auction was a huge success for the youth of Logan County.
