(Atlantic) The Cass County Fair Sheep Show starts the activities at 8:00 a.m. today.
Darrin Petty is in his 24th year as the superintendent and 34th year on the committee. Petty says the show is held in the outdoor ring, starting with FFA, followed by 4H.
Petty says the process started in May with the weigh-in of the young lambs.
