Bryan & Krista Harris
We married in 2009, and at the time, we both worked for Don, Bryan’s dad, at his buying station. Don had to close the doors in 2011 due to a cancer diagnosis, and we were left with a six-month-old baby, a mortgage, and no jobs. Needless to say, we were highly motivated! In 2012, with the help of Krista’s stepdad, Jerry Callen, as co-signer, we opened the buying station with a $50,000 line of credit and not a penny to our names. With Krista handling finances and Bryan handling operations, we worked day and night, holidays, and birthdays to stay above water. We gave it everything we had, making plenty of mistakes along the way, but learning from every one of them.
Don Harris
Don operated the Harris Buying Station until 2011, earning a lifetime of friends and a stellar reputation within the cattle industry. In 2010, Don and his wife, Nancy, were honored for their work in the livestock and agriculture industry and were inducted into the Cattleman’s Hall of Fame. A beloved father, grandfather, and true cowboy, Don also enjoyed the outdoors and hunting in the Idaho Mountains with his hound dogs.
Orville Harris
Orville Harris began his career working with his father on a sheep and cattle farm. In 1945, he moved to Nampa and opened a dairy business, traveling far and wide to gather top-quality dairy heifers, which he used to help local cattlemen build back their weak stock. In 1959, he opened the Shoshone Sale Yard, ultimately growing into one of the largest weekly dairy sales in the west. Orville helped install and used the first pipeline milker in Idaho, supported local FFA and 4-H programs, mentored young farmers, and built a reputation for hard work, honesty, and the ability to get along with all kinds of people.
