After the success of last year’s event, downtown Marquette will have livestock take over its streets for another cattle auction this week. Barta Farms, based out of Little River, will bring angus bulls and females to the city center Friday for its fourth Annual Bull Sale. Ryan Barta, the owner of the farm, said this is the second year that Marquette is hosting the event. “Last year, we were kind of out of a spot to have it due to COVID,” Barta said. He said after talking with Stan Von Strohe at the Smoky Valley Distillery in Marquette, they thought it could be a good experience for the people and businesses in downtown Marquette as many events were not happening during the pandemic.
