Livestock Auction

Our livestock auction is held every Wednesday, year round, starting at 1:00PM. We receive livestock up until 7:00PM Tuesday evenings and again beginning at 6:30AM on Wednesday mornings. Our sale begins with veal calves followed by feeder cattle, lambs, sheep, goats, feeder pigs, bulls, steers, heifers, cows, and finally slaughter hogs. Our average sale runs about 3-1/2 hours. Two special lamb, sheep, and goat sales are held preceding the Easter Holiday and two special feeder cattle sales are held in April and October.
