While the cattle and horse auction is the main event, buyers could also browse sale booths selling, among other things, cypress furniture, cowboy art, books, and whips. Naturally, a barbecue fed the crowd. The large building in the background is the sale barn. |

| The Dees, a country band, entertained the crowd before the auction. | Sean Sexton's interest in attending the auction was to possibly buy a new horse for Treasure Hammock. Here he can be seen examining the horses for sale. |

| Sean watches Roscoe, one of the sale horses, go through its paces. Born and raised at Adams Ranch, six-year old Roscoe knows his way around cattle and has been ridden in Ranch Rodeos in previous years. | |
