It was time for young stockgrowers to cash in on all their hard work raising that prize calf, pig, and sheep among other animals.
The Sheridan County Youth Livestock Sale took place on Monday, August 4th, as stock growers auctioned off what they had, and used the money to either raise more stock on the ranch, go off to college, or invest and spend on other things.
For those new to the experience of selling their animals, it can be difficult at first to break the bond one may have had while raising them.
Animals that won prizes during the shows last week tend to sell for more money, however buyers stuck around, to buy stock from young ranchers that are still learning the industry.
Of the 194 lots auctioned off, a grand total of about $684-thousand was raised.
Compared to last year, about 24 fewer animals were sold, but buyers spent $65-thousand more.
