IN MEMORIAM
On April 1, 1960 a 27 year old rodeo cowboy named Dean Kinney, moved to Bassett and along with
his father took over the reins of Bassett Livestock.  He didn't know much about running an auction
market but his cunning business sense and hard work took over and cattle receipts grew every year 
that he owned the barn.  He not only sorted the cattle but also started the sales and rode his many 
wonderful horses in the ring.  In those days, all of the cattle were weighed on a beam scale, so 10 
head were always weighed for a test.  There were never 9 or 11 that got by this cowboy or his horse, 
and many buyers would swear the horse could count.  He continued on in the cattle business after 
he left the auction market, ordering buying as well as ranching.  The auction market continued to 
be a special part of his life.

On Wednesday, February 26 Dean Kinney passed away just short of his 70th birthday. 
His presence will be sorely missed as this action man received so much valuable advice and 
help from him through the years.

To his loving wife Marilyn, his daughters Deb, Jan, Jude and Dee, his son Jeff and to all of their families, 
our deepest sympathy from all of us at Bassett Livestock.  Please know our thoughts and prayers are with you. 
Take comfort in knowing that he, Bounce and George are once again rounding up cattle and I know 
that he's riding "ole Jupe".
