Producer Profile: Jimmy Sealy of Uniontown, AL

There are a lot of good stories to tell within the beef industry in Alabama. Stories of yesteryear and bigger than life personalities. Stories of high-sellers, test-winners, and national awards. If a few don't pop into your mind immediately, you probably ought to try spending more time with folks who've been around a while; it'll be well worth your time.

Too often, the stories that go untold are the ones right in front of us. These are the tales of people we know who're working hard day in and day out to make this industry better; people that pull together as a family and stick it out as the cattle market dives and pitches through highs and lows.

In this installment of Producer Profiles, we take a short minute to look at the family behind Alabama Livestock Auction in Uniontown, AL. This is one of 24 stockyards in the state, and like the rest, the job of hosting an auction week after week isn't an easy one. As you'll see though, the Sealy family embraces this way of life.
