With that being said, we will be continuing Dan’s legacy by keeping both livestock auctions running as normal. If you have any questions or would like to talk about your livestock, give Pat a call at 515-351-8983. We will also keep Dan’s phone number; this phone number is 515-351-0807. From the bottom of our families’ hearts, we would love to express our sincere appreciation for the outpouring of respect for Dad.  It means more to our family than we can express in words but Thank You.
