Powder River County Fair A HOT Show

This year's forty market hogs topped last year's four decade plus record of thirty-five. There were a variety of sizes, colors and attitudes but all showed and sold well. Most importantly they weathered the heat well, weighing in on the hottest day – Thursday, when temps later in the day hit 109. The fair board already has some ideas to help them move through the back alley with ease for next year, and plans to invest in a few more hog panels.

From market beef and beef breeding to market goats and chickens there were many animals available for purchase at the fair. With 4-Her's beef, sheep and poultry breeding projects they will have plenty of animals to bring for the 2025 competition as well. The care, compassion and sportsmanship these participants brought this year was humbling. Whether congratulating each other in the ring or club members supporting each other to get their animals fed and watered, this fair truly did "Make the Best Better".
