Edwards noted that originally he
was hoping the sale could be held
at the Guernsey Sale Barn.
However, that facility closed due
to its impending sale. He admitted
apprehension when he learned the
sale would be held at the former
Black and White Sale Bam since
the bam is set up for commercial
cow sales.
“The facility adapted well and I
can’t speak more highly of the
efforts put forth by Dennis and Mel
Kolb. They were extremely
helpful,” Edwards said.
