See what I did there? It's a great honor to announce our fifth cattleman into the American Hot Barn Report Hall of Fame, he being none other than Mr.

Home base, which, uh, he called the mother cow, the iconic Stockman's Livestock in Yankton, South Dakota.

It's also my heavy burden to announce that the aforementioned Gale Soller passed away last week.

I'm proud to call Gale a personal friend, and I was his account rep for four years while working at WNEX in Yankton.

Gale ran Stockman's for a whopping 52 years, purchasing it in 1952 and retiring and selling it in 2013.

Gale was very active in the cattle industry and a national president for the Livestock Marketing Association, also heavily involved in his community and the art world.

Old Gale had a massive sculpture out front of his barn featuring a cowboy, his horse, and a dog with a laptop, of all things, on his chinks trying to email someone.

This was 25 years before Starlink, proving that Gale was a true visionary in every sense of the word.

Gale and his son Jay built an empire with barns in Tripp, St. Onge, Platte, South Dakota, and Bowman, North Dakota, that with the exception of Tripp, are still going strong today.

A very cultured man who if not for his hat and boots, you might mistake for a doctor or an attorney, maybe even a pastor.

Gale Soller, HBR Hall of Famer, has passed on to the big auction block in the sky at 88.
[bell tolling] A cowboy is his name.
