Lee Morris, a 35-year-old livestock auctioneer in Pikeville, Tenn., opened the Morris Brothers Stockyard north of Pikeville, Tenn., on Friday, handling the sale of several hundred cattle. The stockyards are the first for Bledsoe County.
“The cattle business is strong right now and there is really nothing like what we offer in 50 miles,” Morris said. The business will conduct regular livestock auctions every Friday for cattle, horses, goats and tack.
