The record has this facility taking ash, basswood, cherry, maple, and oak, and species decides more of what a load is worth than the gate it goes through. No full guide is up for ash, basswood and black cherry yet, so the reference list carries a row on each instead: where they grow, what buyers take them for, and the catch that pulls the price down.

It is one of 3 facilities listed in Buffalo County, which is where a search for a sawmill near me starts if your ground is in that county. The Buffalo County section of the state page has every one of them side by side, and all 211 Wisconsin listings run across 63 counties - which is the map that decides whether a load leaves your gate for twenty minutes or two hours.

Anybody searching for a sawmill near me needs more than one gate. If this one will not take your wood, the nearest other listings are Becker Logging and Lumber in Cochrane, 18 miles away, Buffalo Lumber & Tie in Fountain City, 22 miles away and Eau Claire Woodworks in Eau Claire, 29 miles away. Distances are straight lines between the coordinates the sources published - not road miles, and not a statement that anybody is buying.

None of this says whether the gate is open or what the load would fetch - no agency document records that. A price comes out of a sale run properly: the landowner's guide to selling timber takes the steps in the order they happen, and sealed bidding puts one tract in front of several buyers at once instead of taking the first number offered.
