Customer Testimonials
"After 30 years of dairy farming in Wisconsin as a member of Equity Cooperative, it is an eye-opening experience to see what animal agriculture marketing is like in a place without an Equity Cooperative. Consider: no competitive bidding for price discovery, no quality assurance about animals being sold, no guarantee that payment will be made, no sophisticated centralized locations to facilitate sales; all things Equity supplies routinely on a daily basis."
~ George Roemer, Combat Farmer

I've always bought and sold livestock through Equity in Reedsville and receive fair market value for my cattle. I live 12 miles away making it convenient for me to haul animals there myself. I've been a patron of Equity Reedsville for a long time and they take care of me. There is no reason for me to market anywhere else. I also take pride in serving on our local board and supporting a cooperative that I value."

"I've been shipping cattle to Equity Cooperative Livestock Sales Association for over 32 years and am very satisfied. I've never tried to sell my livestock anywhere else because I'm happy with the results I get at Equity. Equity's Barron market is handy, they are honest, and I get a good price for my animals and know my livestock are in the best of care while they are at the market. I'm proud of the friendships I've made with the employees and truckers over the years."

~ Bill Herbison, Plum City, WI

"Customer care is the main reason I buy and sell cattle through Equity Livestock in Altoona. Mark Koger stops by frequently to look at my cattle and offer advice. I'm happy with the price and appreciate the support that is available."
