Lebanon — After bids for Samuel Mattingly’s grand champion market lamb languished in the low four figures for several minutes at Thursday’s Boone County 4-H Fair Livestock Auction, someone on the right side of the floor at the Witham Health Services Pavilion decided it was time to speed things along.

Mattingly was in the auction ring with the lamb, apparently quite happy as bids reached $5,000.

Ring men Kenny Kincaid and Alan Wilhoite had frenetically confirmed bids that had doubled from the $1,500 opening.

Auctioneer Steve Cross confirmed a bump to $5,000 and began working on getting $5,100.

Kincaid moved closer to the front row of seats, listened, and walked to the ring.

“I’ve got $10,000,” Kincaid told Cross.
