"About This Blog

Rich Hill is a small town in Bates County, Missouri, known as the "Town That Coal Built." Since 2008, this blog has been digging through old newspapers, county histories, family photos, and community memories to piece together the stories of the people, businesses, churches, and events that shaped Rich Hill — from its coal-mining boom years to the present day. Here you'll find everything from town-defining moments (train depot ambushes, natural gas jubilees, the founding of local churches) to the quieter stories of the people who called Rich Hill home — including a few who went on to leave their mark on the wider world. Have an old photo, a family story, or a correction? I'd love to hear from you — reach out at beardonme@gmail.com

Bull Shippers Going Strong

I found this article in the Rich Hill Library-Dated April 4 1969

Bull Shippers, Inc., Going Strong. Since the short time, the Bull Shippers have been in operation they have established quite a livestock market for the farmers in the surround­ing territory. Dave Clark, owner-operator and his able staff are to be congratulated for a fine job. Recently in­stalled at the sale pavilion is a closed-circuit TV which will let the buyers see how the prices are running. Near capacity crowds filled the large pavilion, located on High-71 South, every Friday. The Bull Shippers, Inc., is a certified market. Six White face steers, averaging 330 pounds, brought 37 cents a pound, a high at last week's sale.—(Review Photos)
