Ron Dilley of Stillwater, Okla., upper left, was also an auctioneer for the sale. This is the first year the sale, which is in its third year under the Heartland name, has been held in Fort Scott. In past year, the sale was held in Oswego. Buyers and sellers were from Missouri, Oklahoma, Iowa and Kansas. About 105 goats were expected to go through the ring.
