The 2021 Sale of Junior Champions grossed a total of $390,925 on 45 animals sold, making it the second-highest sale total in the 52-year history of the Sale of Champions and pushing gross sales over the year to over $8 million.

An additional $22,500 in scholarship donations was received, bringing the 2021 total to $413,425 in money to support Mississippi youth.

It is inspiring to see how this event has grown over the years into the finest and largest rodeo east of the Mississippi River, and we are proud to continue that tradition. Again, welcome and enjoy being a part of the “Greatest Show on Dirt!”
