Change Sought in Cattle Lien Rules Debate in Wisconsin Assembly
Wisconsin cattle industry representatives told the Assembly Agriculture Committee that livestock dealers should not bear full lien liability when selling cattle subject to mortgages. They argue lenders know borrowers risk, while dealers face lawsuits and large judgments. Opponents warn removing protections could chill lending, and no action was taken.

Hay auction signals bargain hay prices in Fennimore market
At the Midwest Livestock Producers sale barn in Fennimore on Sept 16 hay fetched 50 to 70 per ton with nine lots sold by the ton averaging 61. Prices were about 20 a ton lower than a year ago and demand was modest with about 50 attendees. Tim Wood notes farmers had decent rainfall in August and may delay buying hay as prices look to stay low this fall before a potential rise in winter. The next quality tested hay auction is Oct 4 in Lomira with 88 sales planned across 20 locations this season.
