Young livestock exhibitors at the 69th Rusk County Fair gained a private area to change clothes after delays. The 12 by 20 foot structure cost about 1700 dollars and will later house a livestock scale. Green Thumb crews also rebuilt the livestock washing area fence and added water spigots bringing the total to six.

Olesiak’s crossbred hog sold for a record 3.90 a pound, highest ever for a project hog, while Stanger’s lamb fetched 4.25 a pound, a new sale record. Brave Harvestore buyer and Jack Cutter supported the top prices as beef division also featured a grand champion steer in Simmental Shorthorn Maine Anjou cross.
