Sawyer Beef is a staple at Davenport's Farmer's Freight House Market. The family is actively involved in Zion Lutheran Church and the community of Princeton. Norman graduated from North Scott in 1964 and Iowa State University in 1968. He then served in the U. S. Navy. On April 19, 2012, Norman broke his neck in a farm accident. He was airlifted to a neuro-trauma hospital in Rockford, Illinois. In critical condition, Norman was paralyzed, on a ventilator and unable to speak or swallow. He had three surgeries to stabilize his neck. Norman spent six months undergoing intensive rehabilitation at the Minneapolis VA Spinal Cord Injury Center. After a year of rehabilitation and recovery, Norman is finally returning to the family farm.
