Rock Bottoms

Rock Bottoms Why Rock Bottoms? In ’09 we were contacted by the Minnesota State Fair requesting a new cattle tie system for the renovation of their Cattle Barn.

Outlining their defined space limitations along with the need to house more cattle, they wanted to illuminate the 4’ feed alley they currently had in each isle. Due to their unique situation of a basement under the barn they couldn’t drill holes in the floor. At the same time the Nebraska State Fair was designing a new state fair facility. As a member of the Nebraska State Fair Board and a long ti

me beef cattle exhibitor at many fairs/expos & stock shows, Van was already aware of the need for a better cattle tie system. The fair’s building committee’s first desire was to utilize post and sleeve cattle ties for their apparent versatility. However, after many discussions with facilities using a post and sleeve system they heard repeatedly of the high labor/maintenance cost associated with them. That fact along with the estimated cost of boring holes and installing sleeves rendered that model prohibitive for the Nebraska State Fair. Hence… “ROCK BOTTOMS” was designed and created… and so began Rock Bottoms Industries LLC.
