The Eads FFA Livestock sale day will be Saturday, April 16, from 9 AM - 12 PM. All animals were born at the Eads FFA farm and have been raised by Eads FFA members. They will be weaned prior to the sale and ready to take home that day.
We have boer goats, both wethers and does, for sale, as well as Columbia cross sheep, both wethers and ewes. We are very proud of our crop of lambs and kids this year, and we believe that they will be very competitive at any fair they go to.
