Document has been reformatted to meet World Wide Web specifications.)                 A senate RESOLUTION   TO HONOR AND RECOGNIZE BOB CATHEY FOR HIS MANY CONTRIBUTIONS AND YEARS OF SERVICE TO HIS COMMUNITY.
  Whereas, Bob Cathey, a native of Anderson County, has spent many years of his life working tirelessly within his community.
He is a cattle farmer and egg producer who has lived on the same farm in Anderson for his entire life;
and   Whereas, he is a graduate of Anderson Boys' High School and in 1964, at just 20 years old, he started the Cathey Egg Farm, selling eggs to local restaurants and markets in the Upstate;
and   Whereas, Mr.
Cathey started buying cattle in the mid-1970s.
Through the 1990s and into the early 2000s he had one of South Carolina's largest cattle herds, maxing out with an impressive 1,000 head of cattle;
and   Whereas, he founded and owns Skeeter Branch Duck Hunting Preserve with his beloved wife Leila and their son Daniel Cathey.
The small-scale hunting preserve is a true family business with his grandson, Rivers Cathey, also helping as a guide and duck caller.
They have been operating in Lavonia, Georgia, for over two decades, while continuing to do business in Anderson;
and    Whereas, every year the Cathey family hosts around 1,500 hunters at Skeeter Branch, which has a "duck hunt of a lifetime" guarantee.
Yearly they release 9,000 ducks during the hunting season.
Their lodging can host up to 20 people at a time.
They also offer many exceptional amenities, such as home cooking, accommodation for dogs, guides, and duck calling.
The property includes the original hunting lodge, a new bunk house, a skeet range, an outdoor picnic area with a fireplace, and a remodeled cabin originally constructed in the 1800s.
The care and dedication that the Cathey family shows toward making sure every costumer leaves happy is a testament to Bob Cathey's hard work and pride in his business;
and   Whereas, the members of the South Carolina Senate are thankful for the hard work and dedication to the Anderson community that Bob Cathey has shown over the years.
Now, therefore,   Be it resolved by the Senate:
  That the members of the South Carolina Senate, by this resolution, honor and recognize Bob Cathey for his many contributions and years of service to his community.
  Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Bob Cathey.
