"These kids love having fun with the animals. They like to dress up little cowboy boots and cowgirl hat and yeah it's just a good time for the family," said Ryan Miller, whose family enjoyed the petting zoo.

On Friday night, a steer was auctioned off for a record-setting $150,000 bid by Ames Construction Company. The bid came during the junior competitors' livestock auction.
