Why Bar3Bar?

Lumby Hale (the great nephew of Nathan Hale of Revolutionary War fame "Give me liberty, or give me death!") settled in the Deer Creek Valley south of Glenrock, Wyoming in 1903.  He decided to raise cattle and filed for the brand with the Wyoming Livestock Board for use until the ranch was sold in 2012.  At the time of his death, and eventually when the ranch was finally sold, the brand was offered for sale to Kit and Tom who were attracted to the heritage and image of the brand for Western Trio, the parent company of Bar3Bar and Ag Asset Group.  

Kit Laramore grew up on his family's cattle ranch near Gillette, Wyoming. He studied Agricultural Business at the University of Wyoming, and then returned back to the ranch where he successfully operated a registered Angus and Charolais operation and his family's commercial cow herd.  During that time he developed a record keeping and genetic selection program which creates a very high quality, sustainable beef product.  He has also created a nutritional program for feeding "white fat cows" which creates a beef product from older animals that rivals eye appeal, color, consistency and tenderness in the best Choice and Prime graded beef.

In recent years, he has been actively involved in beef consulting, production, feeding all classes of cattle and meat, custom slaughter and "Ritual Harvest" for either Kosher or Halal product certification.

 Tom Horton has spent his entire career in the cattle business.  Once he left the military he worked as an ag lender, then to Chicago filling orders in the cattle pit, then back to Amarillo to complete a career in cattle and grain risk management for customers. He started Ag Brokers Ltd in 2007 when he saw the need for a company to reflect the idea of brokering all things agricultural.  His contacts in the livestock industry and meat packing business are numerous.
