Selling Timber in Trempealeau County, WI

Koxlien Brothers Wood Products is a sawmill in Strum, Wisconsin. They buy standing hardwood timber and logs, and they're a "3rd generation family owned sawmill" that's been at it since 1983. Their main trade is timber buying, but they also log, run the mill, and do forestry consulting. They work with hardwood timber and oak timber, and they say they "specialize in hunting properties" and oak timber regeneration, along with general forest management. Their stated focus is "improving the overall health of the woods," which shows in the kind of work they take on: timber value estimates, MFL compliance, trail construction and repair, job site clean up, property line surveying, harvest planning, timber value assessment and marking, trucking, and dozing work for trails or food plots. They also note "experienced logging crews" for the harvest itself. Buffalo County is where they're found in the register, and they list Trempealeau County as an area they serve, with Wisconsin and Strum named more broadly on their own pages. This looks like a fit for a landowner who wants more than a one-time timber sale. If you're thinking about hunting land, oak regeneration, or longer-term forest management alongside the harvest, this is a business built around that kind of work rather than just buying logs and moving on.

Hawkeye Forest Products runs a hardwood sawmill in Trempealeau, Wisconsin, and also buys timber. They are a member of The Baillie Group. Their mill saws Walnut, Hickory, and Cherry, and they work with Northern and Appalachian hardwoods more broadly. They describe the operation as a "state of the art hardwood lumber sawmill" and say the lumber they ship goes to customers across North America and abroad. On the production side, they point to "quality control" as the thread that runs through the work, from the logs coming in to the lumber going out. For landowners, the part that matters most is the timber-buying side listed alongside the mill. The county they serve is Trempealeau, where the mill itself sits, so a tract anywhere nearby is the kind of job they'd be set up to look at. This fits a landowner near Trempealeau with Walnut, Hickory, or Cherry on the property, especially someone who wants their logs to go straight into a hardwood lumber operation rather than through a separate logger and a separate mill.
