- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
The OC Fair Jr. Livestock Auction is a partial terminal sale, which means that all Champions (excluding small animals) must go through the sale ring and then proceed directly to the processing plant. This indicates that the animals are being sold for the purpose of being processed and not for any other use. Additionally, it is mentioned that all small animals going through the auction must be picked up live, further supporting the idea that the animals are being sold for processing. Therefore, the statement "True" is the correct answer.

- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
Market lambs must be slick shorn from the hock up prior to weigh-in. This means that the wool on the lamb's body must be completely shaved off from the hock (the joint in the hind leg) and upwards. This is done to ensure that the lamb's weight is accurately measured during the weigh-in process, as the wool can add extra weight. Slick shorn lambs also have a more uniform appearance, which is desirable in the market. Therefore, the statement "Market lambs must be slick shorn from the hock up prior to weigh-in" is true.
