[QUOTE="JMJ Farms, post: 1513868, member: 24583"] Nope. You’re right. Judging by the day of the week, the back tags, and the direction of travel those cattle were most likely coming from Oak Park. 90% of Barrett’s cattle are hauled in pots. He has aged a lot. He almost died. Had something going on with his veins in his legs, then got diagnosed with cancer. He’s actually much better than he was. Doris came here in the 70s from Tennessee with a 2 ton truck with bodies on the back buying sick pigs and hauling them back, straightening them out, and reselling. Now he’s the largest cattle shipper anywhere around these parts. And has the best eye of anyone I’ve ever been around. Numerous times I’ve seen them run a yearling in the ring off the scale and Doris would tell them the weight was wrong. They would reweigh the yearling and he’d be right every time. He can guess anything under 700lbs and be within 10-15 lbs every time. Lots of experience I guess. Started with next to nothing and made a heck of a business out of it. [/QUOTE]
