We would like to take this opportunity to thank you in advance for your time, consideration & support.
Very best regards, Steve & Denise Knox
NOTE: Steve and Denise are the second generation on this farmstead. They milked a small herd of Red & White Holsteins for nearly 40 years, selling the herd in 2015. The last 8 years they kept a herd of Red Angus brood cows and raised most of the feeders to market weight. The tractors and equipment have always been well maintained and most pieces have been housed in pole barns, ready for field work this spring. Most items have owner’s manuals.
Make plans to be East of Grant, Michigan on Thursday morning, March 21st @ 10:00AM for the start of this fine farm retirement auction.
