EXCERPT:
THUNE: “In addition to his cow/calf operation Justin manages the Saint Onge Livestock Auction, which holds sheep sales every Thursday and cattle sales every Friday. And I have been there on a few of those Fridays for those cattle sales. Justin, thank you for being here today. I look forward to your testimony and input about how we can improve the situation for cattle producers in our state. And Madam Chair, with your indulgence, Justin, before you begin your testimony, I’m guessing some members of this committee have maybe never been to a sale barn. Since you are an auctioneer, would you mind demonstrating for members of this committee what they would hear if they were — they're on sale day at the Saint Onge sale barn?"
