(Atlantic, Iowa) – The 2025 Cass County Fair wrapped up on Tuesday, July 29th with the annual livestock auction. A total of 333 head of livestock were auctioned off, capping many months of work for Cass County 4-H and FFA livestock project members. Market beef, sheep, goat, swine, rabbit and poultry exhibitors participated in the sale, gaining a little extra reward from local community supporters for their hard work.
Including the Bucket of Junk participants who took part in the Monday night auction, 99 total youth will be receiving proceeds from the sale to help support their future project and educational activities. The Monday night fundraising auction also featured a sale of pies baked by local celebrities and fair supporters. Over 90 local community supporters chipped in to help support the youth members, with proceeds from both sales totaling $288,303 according to officials with Rolling Hills Bank & Trust, who volunteer their services to clerk the sale each year.
