Elizabeth Wood secured her third consecutive Grand Champion title at the 42nd Ward County Livestock Show with a 1090-pound Crossbred steer. Rival Helen Potts claimed Reserve Champion honors with a Heavy Weight Hereford steer, as auction totals soared to a record 93,666.40 for the top 90 animals, including a 111-lb medium wool lamb at 50 per pound. Willie Gandy, a 12-year-old blind since an auto accident, sold a record lamb to cheers from Ward County 4-H supporters.
