I know that at the Ohio State Fair, there is a maximum amount of the sale premium that the exhibitor gets to keep and the rest is donated to the state's 4-H scholarship fund and other funds to keep the program running.

Along with the cash, the meat from the Grand Champion steer is also donated to this really neat charity. Huge portions of American Royal Junior Premium Livestock Auction checks go to local KC charities like the Little Sisters of the Poor, the Hope House and even the RMHC. At Houston you see that the Grand Champion steer sales for upwards of $300,000. The exhibitor receives less than 30% of that. The sum returns to the scholarship fund for inner city and agriculture kids. I am confident similar situations occur at the other national shows in the US, the first two are just examples of premium sales I have had personal experience with and then a friend of mine works at Houston.tera rooney barnhardt https://www.blogger.com/profile/00183025675250451544noreply@blogger.com
