4-H members see their hard work pay off at auction
Every year the 4-H Livestock judging and auction takes center stage at the Mineral County Fair and this year didn’t disappoint. Members from Superior Rustlers and St. Regis Camo Critters chapters showed pigs, sheep, steers, horses, chickens and bunnies. Twenty-two businesses and individuals supported members at the auction held on Saturday, Aug. 5, including a chicken threesome going for $553 each.
