Well I.J.Perez called me. He seems he is saying that the LFN misquoted him. He's not sure if sale barns can charge for disposal. He and others at the P&S dicussed wether to rebut the LFN, but decided not too, because it would make the agency apear bad. I ask him if a liscense is required to...

Well I went to another sale barn last week, I know the owmer well. He was upset that the LFN printed the story, giving sale barns a bad rap. Then he told me that they are allowed to sale insurance under tariff rules ( without a license ) Then he told me he charges for animal disposal, which LFN...

Well It appears thr P&S reads the Lancaster Farming Newspaper. They called and wanted more info. It appears they are doing an investigation.

The plot thickens: The Lancaster Farming Newspaper printed a story of my plight on Oct 10 2015. In the story, the owner Mr Jeff Craig led the reporter to believe that he had insurance thru LMA. But,Thanks to one of posters here that suggested I contact LMA things are getting interesting. What...

Well I made first page on the 10/10/2015 Lancaster Farming Newspaper. Story tells my side and and the owner's story. In his side, he states he carries insurance with LMA . But I have a email from LMA where they state he doesn't have an insurance policy with them! Second he states that "some...

I asked, They don't have a policy in writing. I don't need another tongue lashing, I am satified that my Lord will make things right if the owner doesn't change his ways. I did contact my local state rep. He is interested in the matter. He told me, one of his first jobs was working on a...

Well I just got off the phone with LMA. Seems that they have no authorty about the sale barns. They won't discuss what their insurance covers. It 's for sale barn operators, and if they ( the operator ) don't want to file a claim there is nothing they can do. I did call the Sheriff's...

Thanks, I did call the P&S (GIPSA) the other day. The woman was nice enought there, but she made excuses about the buget cuts and they can't do investigations like they would like. She said she felt my pain, but she could't do anything. She gave me another phone # , turned out to be an...

I send a email to the LMA a cuple days ago, no response. As far as the name, I think most farmers are smart enought to put 2 + 2 together. After thinking about this a day. I have come to realize. First, it could have happen the way he says, and if I had taken a poor sick cow I might of...

I won't tell you the LIVESTOCK MARKET's name, but's in right beside Interstate 81 @ the 5 mi marker very close to Greencastle, PA It's well known for 1st Friday of the month feeder sales. I have seen trailers there from NY. ( at least a 5 hr drive ) Thankfully they don't lose feeders or those...

Well the owner called. After thanking him for calling, I asked him if he knew what was going on. He said the yardman seen the cow breathing fast and her tongue hanging out, so he put her in special pen where there was water and an outside or near outside pen ( I couldn't tell which he meant.)...

I only talked to the manager on Wednesday, she told me she would have him call. So far he has not. But in fairness, Thursday and Friday were sale days. I want to give the man a fair chance like I would of wanted. I was a business man for 40 years too. But, It would have only taken a minute of...

Thanks for all the replies, now If I could change the subject slightly. A survey of sorts. Does your sale barn post or have avaiable a written policy? What the yardage and insurance fees cover? when do they take liabilty , Do they contact you if a animal dies in a certain # of hours, Do...

I don't want to be argumentive, but if the animal sold get a few cent less, but weights more with water in it's belly, what's the difference? The fellow that Bigfoottalked about making calves suffer showed his nature. My nature is to treat people and animals fairly. Yes, without water, it...

"When we shipped fats to the sale barn we penned them off water the night before and then hauled them to the sale so that they wouldn't be full when they went through. They would be off water for 24 hours or more a lot of the time in the heat." Why would you knowing keep water from cattle...

I understand what you are saying, but this was a quiet easy cow, you could put her in an corner in the stall and hand milk her. It was a tought decision for me to even sell her. but as I stated this was the third time I had to bottle feed her calf. My problem with the sale barn is 1. I have no...

Hi, new here, but been checking in for about a yr. I delivered a 1700 lb, 8 yr old cow to our local auction this past Monday. Wednesday, I got a check for $ 00.00 and the slip is marked Dead ! I took the cow there because her week old calf died, and it was the third year now that I had to...
