In 1955 Doug moved to a farm east of Wisner and started feeding cattle in the 60’s where he had one of the first custom feed yards in the Wisner area. In addition to feeding cattle he bought fed cattle for Roth Packing Company of Omaha in Cuming County area for twenty years. Doug loved cattle buying.
