Weiller & Williams is a family owned and operated livestock health store. The business was purchased by L.R. (Dick) Sobey in April of 1996 and he was joined by his wife Nancy in late March 1997. Daughter, Melissa came on board as part time help in the summer of 1999 and full time in 2003 along with being the Wysong representative.

Dick comes from a cattle background and has worked and handled cattle all his life. His father was a cattle buyer for Burns Foods until he bought the business of Armstrong Commission in 1967. Dick became a partner with his Dad in 1977 and continued to buy and sell cattle until 1998 when his share of the livestock auction building he helped develop was purchased. Since then his sole business has been that of selling everything from seal replacements for a syringe to livestock, canine, feline vaccines and health products, Morand Handling Equipment, Petersen Waterers, Featherlite trailers to your special order.

Dick has always had a love of horses and dreamed of having his own and riding them amongst his cattle checking herd. That dream became reality in 1997 with the purchase of a tough experienced rope horse sorrel gelding named Snort. Now the herd has grown and Dick has a few horses he is team roping on. His goal now is to get good enough at his roping to start competing locally. When not team roping he enjoys just riding and being around the horses. He is able to take one of his own horses out to check his 163 cow/calf herd when they're out in pasture.

Nancy became involved with the business when she and Dick got together. She has had dogs and horses all her life and showed Arabs & Morgans very successfully in everything from halter to trail. She thoroughly enjoys all aspects of riding and competitively competes in barrel racing at jackpots and rodeos. She has been blessed that Dick is willing to be her groom, coach, driver and chief cook. Between rodeos and jackpots she tries to get to the dog shows to exhibit their Boston Terrier.

Dick and Nancy are owned by their 2 German Shepherds, Rukker and Toree and a Boston Terrier named Loti. And where you see Nancy, Rukker is always close by. Rukker is the “Walmart Greeter” at Weiller & Williams and more people ask about his absence then Nancy's. He is a great babysitter and pacifier when parents are in the store with their kids. They have even been found sound asleep cuddled up to him under the counter. He is always ready to show you where the cookie container is kept so you can give him a treat.

Both Dick and Nancy are on the founding Committee of Winkler Canvas Buildings present the Northern Lights Barrel Futurity & Derby held annually in Hamiota and work hard to promote barrel racing in Manitoba.

Melissa, Dick's oldest daughter loves working in the animal health business and is busy taking night courses in business management, holding an “A” average. Melissa is often out on the road promoting and delivering Wysong Pet products and is getting married in February of 2005.

Weiller & Williams has veterinarian Dr. Joe Meek on staff. He graduated in 1964 and started his own mixed practice in Arborg MB which he thoroughly enjoyed. In 1971 he joined the Manitoba Horse Racing Commission as the Commission Veterinarian at Assiniboia Downs and was hooked, it is a job which he still holds today and loves with a passion. The welfare of the horse is his concern. He deals with every incident on the track in a very fair and honest way even if it causes a feather ruffling in upper management. He is highly respected for his integrity. In 1972 he founded McPhillips Animal Hospital which was a small animal practice. Following it's sale he joined the Veterinary Services Branch of Manitoba Agriculture. He started as the Chief Field Veterinarian and then was Acting Director during his last 3 years. Dr. Meek left his government position in 1994 and joined Dick in the spring of 1996.

Dr. Meek owns roughly 155 animals in his own cow/calf operation so he is aware of your needs and concerns. He has years of experience and a wealth of knowledge. If he doesn't have the answer for you, he will get it. He explains things to you in the language you can understand. He helps set up herd health programs and does farm visits to assess same.

We, at Weiller & Williams strive to provide you with good service and good prices. If we don't have it, ask us. We will try to get it for you. Mistakes are made, that's life, some are beyond our control, but if you have a problem, tell us, so we can try to rectify it.
