IN HR0051

The Indiana House of Representatives congratulates Kenneth R. Torr on his induction into the Livestock Marketeers Hall of Fame on January 17, 2015, at the National Western Club in Denver, Colorado.

Ken Torr began his auction career in 1952 and worked for 40 years as an auctioneer, training with legendary auctioneers and mentoring the next generation of livestock auctioneers.

Torr spent 32 years with Prairie Farmer magazine as a livestock fieldman, where he wrote the first livestock display ad and serviced the eastern territory.

Beyond auctioneering, Torr bred and raced Standardbred horses for 35 years, rebuilt his Angus cow herd, and developed hobbies in photography and woodworking.

The Principal Clerk of the House of Representatives is directed to transmit copies of this resolution to Ken Torr and his wife, Beverly.
