timjohn - 3/20/2017 23:25 With craigslist and many other cheaper venues for quickly marketing cattle, it has been harder and harder I think for sale barns to make it. My grandparents operated a sale barn in Fennimore, WI. My grandpa was an amazing cattle man and would do whatever he could to help out any of the people that sold through his barn. Often hurting his own pocketbook in the process. He was very well respected. It was always fun visiting and being part of the sales. And if I'm not mistaken, didn't the Bloomington Livestock people also purchase the Fennimore sale barn and keep it operating as a local market? |
