Cattle Exports Begin Iran Venture From Minneapolis
The shipment leaving Barron follows a September 1976 trade visit by Mr. Murray to Iran. He credits cooperation from federal and state veterinarians and customs agents, lauds employee Jeff Lathrop for barn sanitation, and notes Butter City Cattle Co. previously airlifted 2,200 cattle to Iran. An Iranian visitor will stay about a week, weather permitting, as cattle departed Minneapolis at near zero temperatures.
