Aug. 21—ROCKSPRINGS — As Auctioneer Dean Blackburn said, it is an investment in the kids, not about purchasing livestock. Many local businesses and individuals did just that on Saturday at the Meigs County Junior Fair Livestock Sale, spending a total of $312,850 in bids during the live auction. This total does not include any "bumps" which were reported separately to the secretary's office during or after the sale as those amounts were not announced publicly.
