To Our Valued Loyal Customers of Algona Livestock & Gowrie Livestock Auction As most of you have heard, Dad (Dan) passed away Friday, August 12th, 2022. He loved and appreciated every one of his customers. His passion for the livestock industry ran deep, and his love for auctioneering the livestock was his absolute drive in his life. We will miss him in the auction block as he was the best auctioneer in our book. 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. Darla, Alicia, Zach, Sarah, Pat, Meredith, & Amber

Quote of the Day
"You have to do a thousand things one percent better, not just do one thing a thousand percent better. It's doing the little things well, being on time for meetings, returning phone calls, saying thank you to people. It sounds like a cliché, but that is the reason one organization or one person is successful over someone else. Everyone knows what they ought to be doing, but the ones who practice daily excellence are the real difference makers."
