Welcome to Richard Spanton Jr & Chrissie Spanton's Website!
Richard Spanton Jr and Chrissie were married on 1/27/2007. The wedding was held in Beloit, WI in the same church that Rich's Grandparents and parents were married. Rich was born in Beloit, WI and raised in Rockton, IL. Chrissie was born in Garden City, MI and lived there until she was 15 then moved to Columbus, Ohio.
Rich's family raise elk in the Wisconsin area. Richard Sr. and Saundra, Rich's Mom and Dad, work daily on the elk farm. Rich's Grandpa Dave lives right next to his parents, he raises Field Trial Labs and Pheasants and soon belted galloways. Rich's brother Matt helps with the elk during calving, cutting of the antler and other hearding activities. Go to www.gbmelk.com to find out more.
