New manager for sales barn

    The Rainy River Cattlemen’s Association announced yesterday the hiring of a new manager for its Stratton sales barn.
    Clayton Teeple of Barwick was the successful candidate—foremost because of having worked at the sales barn previously.
    “We’re glad that he applied,” noted RRCA secretary April Szpara. “He has been working there, but that didn’t mean he’d want to take on the responsibility of being the manager.”
    She added of all the candidates, Teeple was the most qualified, most approachable, and is a fairly well-known face in the local agricultural community.
    Teeple will begin his work at the fall sales, which are scheduled for Sept. 8, Oct. 6, and Oct. 27.
    The previous manager, Russell Richards, was terminated following a special meeting of the RRCA’s board of directors back on May 2.
