At the Matagorda County Fair’s junior livestock auction, families came out to support young cowboys and cowgirls. Steers, pigs, chickens, and goats were auctioned off, with bids rising as auctioneer Colt Adams worked the crowd. For many, the event was deeply personal. Dan Tucker honored his late wife, Charlotte, who had attended the fair for decades. Jeff Wendel proudly watched his sons, Mason and Maddox, win top awards. Fisher Page’s hard work paid off, with his goat selling for $2,400 after months of preparation.
