Auctioneers work the crowd to make sure all bids on the black steer up for sale at the Junior Fair Livestock Auction on Thursday night are duly noted. The funds from the sale benefit the young owners, their 4-H or FFA clubs as well as the fair. The auction began at 6 p.m. and lasted past 11 p.m. and drew local businessmen, farmers, politicians and the family members of the young presenters.
