Meet Nicholas Guerrero, a Sanger 4-H exhibitor preparing for this year’s Jr. Livestock Auction! 🦃🐗

Nicholas joined 4-H for the opportunity to try new things, discover new interests and connect with other youth in his community. Growing up around beef cattle and Boer goats, livestock has always been a big part of his life. Last year, he raised his first 4-H livestock project, a LaMancha dairy goat named Blossom. This year, he decided to take on a new challenge with a Boer goat named Levi and two market turkeys, Butterball Bob and Gobblezilla.

These projects have taught Nicholas that raising livestock is about much more than daily feeding and care. It takes patience, consistency and learning to recognize what each animal needs. Along the way, he’s enjoyed watching his animals grow — and seeing how much he’s grown through the experience, too.

Read more about Nicholas, his projects and what he’s learned along the way as he prepares for the Jr. Livestock Auction on our website!

The 2026 Big Fresno Fair Jr. Livestock Auction kicks off Sat, 10/10, with additional sales continuing Sat, 10/17.

Interested in becoming a buyer or placing an add-on bid? More details will be available soon at: www.fresnofair.com/p/getconnected/jr-livestock-auction.
