As many are aware, our dear friend, fellow cattleman and station manager, Brian Plank, tragically lost his life on Nov. 9, 2021, in a tractor roll-over accident. Be assured that bulls at the test station are continuing to receive the very best care and management. The Plank family, including Brian’s brother, Eric and sister, Mary, along with consignors, MCA members, neighbors, and friends are ensuring the program continues. Brian would have wanted it that way.   Brian Plank obituary
