Also, a huge thanks to everyone who participated in Friday, September 20th’s Kamloops Saddle Horse Sale, we had huge attendance and some amazing quality horses! Our top seller went for 8,300.00! We would like to take a moment to mention the passing of Bill Palmer, of Heffley Creek. He was so helpful and hardworking here at the Kamloops BC Livestock yards for many years. He worked the penning alley, week after long week, on his well trained horses. Every so often he would have to ride into the ring to bring out a very stubborn cow or bull and he always got it done fast and smooth! Bill’s service will be on Wednesday, October 2nd at 10:30 am at the St. John Vianney Catholic Church here in Kamloops. He will be sorely missed and we would like to express our heartfelt condolences to the Palmer Family.
