Livestock Purchases
Supporting future agricultural leaders is an important part of UWGP’s mission, and purchasing youth livestock projects has become one of the traditions we are proud to continue each year.
UWGP attends livestock auctions at:
• Lodi County
• Columbia County
• Green Lake County
We also participate in the Dairy Youth Recognition Auction at Dodge County.
These events provide an opportunity to support hardworking youth involved in agriculture while recognizing the time, responsibility, and dedication they invest into their projects.
We truly enjoy the time spent at the auctions and appreciate the relationships built within our local communities. UWGP remains committed to supporting our youth and celebrating their achievements both inside and outside of the show ring.
Supporting Our Communities
UWGP believes strong communities are built through strong relationships. We are proud to support organizations and programs that make a positive impact throughout our local communities and agricultural industry.
Our commitment to community support reflects the same values that UWGP was built on, hard work, local partnerships, and investing in the future.
