Full Circle Online Auction

A way to support the Auxiliary.

The Full Circle Online Auction began in 2016 is an online fundraising auction of the American Angus Auxiliary. The auction combines fundraising, breed promotion and industry engagement by allowing Angus breeders, businesses and supporters from across the United States to donate and bid on a wide variety of items. The auction is conducted online through Angus Live, making participation accessible regardless of location.

The auction’s proceeds help fund the American Angus Auxiliary's mission, including youth leadership development, scholarships for National Junior Angus Association members, educational programs, breed promotion, awards and recognition programs, and beef education.

Unlike a traditional livestock sale, consignments include far more than cattle genetics. Examples of past consignments include semen and embryo packages, in vitro fertilization (IVF) and reproductive services, artwork, home decor, jewelry, marketing and graphic design services, handmade crafts and furniture, and many more! The Auxiliary is currently seeking a wide variety of items with a fair market value in excess of $100.

Businesses and individuals who donate items receive exposure to the Angus community. They also receive advertising through the Auxiliary's website, social media, email campaigns and print publications. Consignments received by Aug. 1, 2026, will receive 90 days of advertising including an ad in the Angus Journal.

The 2026 Ninth Annual Full Circle Online Auction is scheduled for Nov. 5, 2026, hosted through www.AngusLive.com.

The auction is organized year round by a dedicated committee. Have questions? Please contact chairperson Lynne Hinrichsen at 785-770-0014 or lvh13080@gmail.com.
