wallets and support these kids,”
auctioneer Harry Bachman urged
the crowd gathered for the annual
livestock sale at the Elizabethtown

That’s exactly what the bidders
did during the boisterous and
sometimes good-natured ribbing
that permeated the sale.
“Put your calculator away.
They’ll tell you what you owe
when you come to pay your bill,”
Bachman told a top bidder who
slowed bidding to calculate the tot
al cost.

per pound for the champion goat,
$4.20 per pound for the champion
