Oh Mannnnn.... Olivia Schwab's pig was so nice and clean, until he noticed how enticing that dirt looked. |
Of all the animals, the pigs were the most excited. Almost all of them came out of the gate on the run. They'd make a circuit of the arena then settle down. |

WAIT A MINUTE! WHAT ARE THE BIDDERS GONNA DO WITH ME? |
Seems like Grant Mammel's "brown cow" didn't like the answer to the above question. |
With the Steer category done, the turkey's rounded out the night. Emily Ruple's bird was half as tall as she was. Straddling seemed to be the best way to have him go where he was pointed. |
