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.
