Templeton Livestock Market...

 Got called in to letter the sales ring at the Templeton Livestock Market (auction) yesterday. Very basic black paint, as the cattle will quickly wipe it out. For me it's very interesting to work in this great old building. As a youngster, I attended many cattle auctions in this very building, with my Dad and Grandfather. Lots of history, the chairs alone will speak to that. One of the last "old time" cattle sales ring auctions left in this part of the world, a real piece of quickly vanishing rural America. Even this buildings days are numbered, as the rumor is, that as soon as the economy turns around, the realtor's want to level it and build houses. We will see...
