We're THRILLED to announce: The 2023 Napa Town and Country Fair Junior Livestock raised over $2 million on Saturday, August 12, at the Napa Valley Expo when over 350 lots of hogs, lambs, goats, sheep, cattle, turkeys, rabbits and chickens were up for bid!

As the hammer dropped on lot 375, the total amount spent by generous community members and businesses topped $2.2 million dollars, an all-time record at the Fair and surpassing the 2022 total by approximately $325,000.

Over 400 local business owners, elected officials, families, friends, and community members packed the livestock arena to bid, and their collective generosity resulted in the record sale. This year there were 47 more lots that qualified for the auction compared to 2022, still short of the pre-pandemic numbers but trending upward again.


A list of the 2023 buyers will be listed on the Napafair.org website shortly and everyone is encouraged to support the local businesses who generously support this program.

The highest-selling animals in each category were:

• Hogs: Kyle Odell, Napa FFA - Reserve Grand Champion Market Hog @ $52/lb

• Sheep: Bella Timm, Berryessa 4-H - Grand Champion Market Lamb @ $65/lb

• Beef: Jillian Harnois, Valley Ranchers 4-H - Grand Champion Market Beef @ $48/lb

• Goats: Xavier Pequeno, Valley Ranchers 4-H @ $150/lb.


The 2024 Napa Town and Country Fair is scheduled for August 8-11, 2024, with the Junior Livestock Auction planned for Saturday the 10th at 9am.
