Meet our advisor, Marshall Ruble!

Marshall started this sale decades ago when he was manager of Iowa State University Beef Teaching. Over his years as an advisor and manager, he has been a mentor to hundreds (maybe thousands!) of students.

No sale will ever be the same as Marshall will be retiring in May after nearly 42 years at Iowa State University College of Agriculture and Life Sciences!
