The Junior Livestock Auction is the culmination of a year’s project for 4-H and FFA members. These young men and women have selected, fed, and groomed steer, lamb, poultry, rabbit, goat, or pig as a learning and business venture. The project is brought to the Fair to be judged, graded, and sold. Support of the auction provides recognition for young adults to earn college funds, purchase more animals, and receive practical training in business and agriculture.
Buyers can support a young person in the community by purchasing an animal. Animals may be resold if buyers do not wish to take delivery of the meat.
2024 Fair Marshal
Rob Schuett
In 1977, Rob bought his own farm just up the road from his parents’ farm. Today, he raises black Angus cattle and grows corn, soybeans, hay, and pumpkins. Following in his footsteps, his sons, Scott and Brian, brought cattle to show at the Fair, along with his grandchildren today, building a generational legacy for the Schuett family.
Rob is a member of the Waukesha County Farm Bureau, the Waukesha County Fair livestock team, and the key advisor for the Livestock Auction. He is instrumental in ensuring the auction process goes smoothy, from spending time in the office finalizing the auction book, to talking with processors, buyers, and youth. Plus, whether it be by providing hay bales for the Ag-Venture education area or by setting up the animal rings, Rob also assists widely in the operations surrounding the livestock area and shows.
Rob’s work is a reflection of his compassion for Waukesha County youth. He not only strives for the best experience possible for the kids, but also recognizes the value in the youth showing their animals at the Fair. Not only do the kids receive monetary support through generous buyers, they also learn about the livestock business and all the hard work that goes into raising a quality animal. For Rob, the kids fuel his dedication and have encouraged him to willingly continue to volunteer his time and efforts toward the auction and the Fair. Rob is truly a fundamental part of the Waukesha County Fair, and continues to be an integral part in making the Fair happen each year!
