The Lancaster County 4‑H & FFA Purple Ribbon Market Livestock Premium Auction is a way for the community to reward purple ribbon market animal exhibitors. Instead of animals being sold, “premium” cash rewards are given by individuals and businesses. The success of the auction is dependent on donations and buyers. Your help is needed to secure funding — please talk with your community businesses. A brochure with pledge form is online at https://go.unl.edu/4h-ffa-livestock-auction. For more information, email Julia Plugge, auction committee chair, at julia.plugge@gmail.com.
