May 9, 1987
No need for improvements, says Henschel
Continued from page 1
Speaking of the decision to sell, the
elder Mr. McCall said that it had
been the hardest thing he had ever
had to do.
At a dinner last week welcoming
the Henschell to the area, former
Huron County Warden Leona
Armstrong called Brussels Stock-
yards ‘ ‘ a very major industry in this
area, responsible for supporting so
many of our other business.”
Neither Bruce and Doris McCall
nor Ross and Fran McCall say they
have any intention of leaving the
area, although both partners are
leaving their future options open
for the moment. Father and son are
joint owners of Corbett Livestock
near Parkhill, and Bruceoperates a
640-acre beef operation at New
Liskeard, while Ross grazes cattle
on 300 acres in the Paisley-Chesley
area. Both will continue to work at
the Stockyards until the end of
June, they say.
Mr. Henschel is in the process of
moving to the area, while his wife,
Kristin, 16-year-old daughter,
Claudia, and 14-year-old son,
Robin will join him as soon as the
children are out of school in June.
Both will attend F.E. Madill
Secondary School in Wingham
next year.
Mr. Henschel has hired a St.
Marys cattle buyer, Bob Galloway,
a familiar figure at Brussels
Stockyard sales, as his assistant.
He will join veteran employee
Keith McLean in buying trips
around southwestern Ontario. Mr.
Galloway will continue to commute
to Brussels until school is out,
when he, too, will be joined by his
wife, Linda, and their four child
ren, ranging in age from 19to3.His
eldest son, Geoff, an Agribusiness
student at the University of
Guelph, will work at the Stockyards
over the summer.
All the former staff will continue
in their positions at the Stockyards,
says Mr. McCall. “It has been a need for improvement at this
good business, and I can’t see any time,” Mr. Henschel added.
