Farm News: Meat Auction Success At State FaircommentsPosted: 08.12.2010 It was a hot and humid night on Tuesday when the Wisconsin State Fair's Meat Products Show began, but according to Donna Faulkner with the Wisconsin 4-H Foundation - the bidding was what was really hot! The auction raises money for Wisconsin 4-H youth programs statewide – impacting nearly 100,000 kids. Faulkner told Pam Jahnke that there was a very special part of the sale when the crowd was asked to pledge donation for the State 4-H Youth Leader Council. The impromptu crowd activity brought in $4,200 in just a few minutes. Faulkner says 14 auction participants pledged $300 each to help after State 4-H Youth Leader Council President, Ann O'Leary shared some of her 4-H leadership experiences. "Best of Show" was the Grand Champion Bone-In Ham processed by Haen Meat Packing, Inc. of Kaukauna. Riteway Bus Service, Richfield; Egg Innovations, Port Washington; Representative Scott Gunderson, Waterford; Pleasant View Dairy Farms, Port Washington; Century Acres, Port Washington; and LeRoy C. Haeuser & Co. S.C. Rural Insurance, Cedarburg formed the bidding consortium who purchased the "Best of Show" Bone-In Ham for $3,750.
Wisconsin Governor Jim Doyle was on hand to welcome nearly 200 meat processors, and guests to the event. Terri Dallas, Wisconsin 4-H Foundation Board President, also received a $3,000 sponsorship check from the Wisconsin Association of Meat Processors, presented by their Executive Secretary, Peter Drone.
The winning meat processors of the State Fair Meat Products Show were: Brandon Meats & Sausages, Inc., Brandon; Country Fresh Meats, Weston; Fox Bros. Piggly Wiggly, Oconomowoc; Haen Meat Packing, Inc., Kaukauna; Harry Hansen Meat Service, Franksville; Karl's Country Market, Menomonee Falls; Lodi Sausage Company, Lodi; Pernat Premium Meats, Johnson Creek; RJ's Meats & Groceries, Hudson and Wyttenbach Meats, Prairie du Sac.
For the first time, the Wisconsin State Fair Meat Products Show offered a Best of Show award. The winner was Haen Meat Packing Inc. of Kaukauna for their Bone-In Ham.
The evening closed with Wisconsin State Fair cream puffs, donated by the Wisconsin Bakers Association for all of the auction guests to enjoy.
