 On August 22nd, the Wisconsin Agribusiness Council will hold their annual fundraising auction for the 23rd time. The auction will take place at Stoughton's "Mandt Center", and will raise money to teach the public about fiber, food, and natural resources.
Thinking about attending the auction in Stoughton?
You can bid on hotel certificates, restaurant certificates, landscaping and orchard supplies, animal supplies, and much more! What's more, you can also purchase refreshments if you'd like to "cool down" from all of the auction action.
Many businesses in Wisconsin have donated to the auction...last year it raised over $20,000. These businesses have primarily donated products and services of value...if you are a business that is looking to donate, items can be pledged by giving the council a call at (815) 858-5040.

The Wisconsin Renaissance Faire site is set to be auctioned off on July 30th by the Chippewa County Sheriff's department due to the fact that the owners of the land owe over $850,000. The faire owner had mentioned in April that they were going to attempt to sell the faire and it's land.
The Chippewa County Sheriff's department has a number of properties to be sold on this date. A reserve price for the Renaissance Faire land has not yet been mentioned. The size of the land for auction is 120 acres, but can only be used as a festival ground or campground. |

Were these bills prompted by the Thorp Dog Auction? Legislators in our fine state of Wisconsin have formulated two new bills aimed at regulating dog dealers within the state. The two bills are: Assembly Bill 250 and Senate Bill 208, which are primarily geared towards animal control facilities, animal shelters, and dog dealers. Features of the Wisconsin Puppy Mill Bills:
-A person who sells 25 or more dogs in a year (including a non-resident who brings dogs into the state for sale).
-A person who operates a dog breeding facility from which 25 or more dogs are sold in a year.
-A person who operates an auction at which 50 or more dogs are sold or offered for sale in a year.
-A person who operates an animal shelter that houses at least 25 dogs in a year.
-A person who operates an animal control facility under contract with a municipality or county. |

 The short answer to this question is maybe, but not at this point. There are numerous reasons why milk cows might be tagged for slaughter, but many of the large dairies are sending their cows directly to their meatpacker or choice. It is very difficult and time consuming for a small milk producer to tag a milk cow back into production rather than sending it to an auction where it would be purchased by meatpackers. There are a significant amount of testing that would need to take place in order to do this (TB requirements, etc.). Transporting the cows to the auction is also very costly due to the current price of gas (not to mention that there is also testing that needs to take place in order to transfer this cattle from state to state). |

The auction of "financially troubled" Lodge at Cedar Creek on Tuesday has been postponed until August as a bank is foreclosing on the property. An Associated Bank attorney says the sheriff's sale will be held in order to pay off a $6 million loan. If there are no bids on the property, the bank will then be free to sell it. Associated Bank pursued foreclosing the business in January in what has been described as a "mutual agreement" with the owners of The Lodge at Cedar Creek. Combined, the hotel and water park have an estimated valued of nearly $17 million, and continues to remain open. Officials involved with the sale believe that they know of several potential bidders. The resort had opened it's doors in June of 2004 and is said to be the largest indoor water park in the northern half of Wisconsin. |
