For young 4-H and FFA livestock exhibitors, the county fair auction ring is the reward for months of hard work, investment and responsibility—unless their animals don’t attract buyers.

But thanks to community coalitions that step in to purchase no-bid animals, kids can be spared this disappointment and financial loss. Among them is the 37th District Buyer’s Coalition—parents, businesses and community groups who banded together in 2022 to support youths exhibiting at the Santa Barbara County Fair in Santa Maria. Led by former livestock exhibitors who now have children showing in the ring, the group raises funds to buy auction animals and then donates the meat to nonprofits serving people experiencing food insecurity.

To date, the coalition has purchased animals from 260 local kids and has donated more than 80,000 pounds of meat to local charities. “This is a win-win-win,” said Renli Pope, the coalition’s president. “The kids benefit, the community benefits, and we all feel better being a part of it.”
