Proper handling of livestock and providing economical tractors, combines and equipment was the focus of National Farm Safety Week stops Wednesday at Christian County Livestock Market and Roeder Auction Company.
Christian County Livestock partner J.E. Wright says it is always important to be prepared when handling livestock.
Meanwhile, partner Sam Wright says proper trailers and equipment to handle livestock is a plus.
Sam adds another problem can arise during dry hot weather.
JE and Sam Wright partner with David Wright and Tommy Anderson in owning Christian County Livestock Market.
Meanwhile, the Ag Edge made a Wednesday afternoon stop at Roeder Auction Company in Hopkinsville. Owner Delbert Roeder and his family are committed to providing quality used equipment for farmers in Western Kentucky and beyond.
His son Adam Roeder says one of the first things they do when they receive a new piece of equipment is a safety inspection.
Roeder Auction Company holds quarterly auctions, with the next one Friday, December 20. They also maintain a used equipment lot at their location on Skyline Drive in Hopkinsville.
