MIDDLETOWN, N.Y. – The 27th Annual Orange County 4-H Calf & Livestock Sale is set to take place on Saturday, May 10th starting at 5 p.m. at the Education Center & 4-H Park in Otisville, N.Y.

Orange County is located in the picturesque Hudson Valley, named by National Geographic Traveler magazine as one of the top 20 places to visit in the world. It’s also just a short distance due north of one of the greatest cities in the world: New York City.

The humble little town of Otisville at the western tip of the county and not far off of U.S. Route 209, has a population of just under 1000. The  upcoming 4-H calf and livestock event will include a live animal sale with larger auction block items, silent auction with country and farm related items, gift certificates, and more.

Dave’s Devil Dogs dinners will also be available for purchase. The sale is known to provide a great opportunity for local dairy and livestock farmers, homesteaders, agricultural businesses, and those interested in agriculture to get together, converse, and promote their agricultural businesses and practices.
