Tragedy at Duello Farm (Kinross, Iowa)

Tragedy has struck at the Duello farm near Kinross, Iowa. Sunday evening severe weather took down the barn and claimed the life of Angie Hanchett as she was doing chores. The Duello consignments are the last 4 lambs on the Meyer Show Lambs Online Sale (lots 21-24) and will remain on the auction. If you would like to help out the family in any way at this difficult time please contact Aaron Meyer at 319-430-0758. A scholarship fund will be set up for Ben Duello in Angie's honor. Ben is a senior in high school and was also in the barn at the time of this tragic accident.

I'm asking fellow sheep producers to help Ben succeed in agriculture or whatever he chooses. I'm donating $500 to the scholarship fund. You never know Gods plan when we are on the other side of this tragedy!!"

Sad News

Today our thoughts and prayers are with the Reimann, Beitelspacher, and Rau families of South Dakota. We are terribly saddened by the news of this tragedy.

“Nick Reimann was one of the leaders in the production of show steers in the United States and a close friend of ours, as well as a Stock Show University Professor. Logan Rau and Brent Beitelspacher were extremely bright stars in the cattle industry and truly great cattlemen. God gained three outstanding young cattlemen, and our sincerest thoughts and prayers are with their families.” –John Sullivan, Founder of Sullivan Supply and Stock Show University
