Cattle Empire #3 was acquired by Cattle Empire LLC in 1995 and was tore down and rebuilt in 1997 and early 1998. The result of all the construction was the completion of a new 32,500 head feedyard in April 1998. The tradition of excellent performance and service in the Cattle Empire yards is being carried on at Cattle Empire #3 by Yard Foreman, Cecil Newkirk; Feed/Mill Foreman, Tommy Vanzant; Cattle Foreman, Shorty Evans; and Maintenance Foreman, Simon Valdez.
