Pat Becker and I met Allen Lund in Selfridge and made our way to the Lemmon Livestock Market. USCA Director Danni Beer met us in Lemmon, and we had a good chat with local cattle producers at the sale. We also had a good meeting with livestock market owner Paul Huffman. Paul was fired up about USCA and made my day when he gave me some Lemmon Livestock, Inc. caps and a jacket! I can’t wait to wear them in DC! Things are looking good here for USCA as we planned out a meeting for later in the year. We’ll keep you posted here.

Thursday sends Pat Becker, Allen Lund, and I to the Mobridge, South Dakota livestock market for their weekly cattle sale.

Friday, I plan to see my good friend and livestock market manager Justin Tupper at the St. Onge Livestock Market for their weekly cattle sale.

Topping off the Dakotas tour will be a stop at the Faith Livestock Market, where I will get to see a good family of livestock market operators: Gary and Scott Vance.

Each one of these stops will provide opportunities to meet new ranchers, see old friends, and get folks up to speed on the latest happenings in Washington, D.C. If you are around any of these locations this week, please stop by!
