What Do I Need to Know for the Auction?

Before the sale, you can review the average sale prices for livestock options by looking at current market reports. By doing this you can see base cattle market prices to keep in mind while bidding. Learn what breed, age, or frame best suite your current needs and head to our weekly cattle sales at 12 pm on Tuesday or sheep and goat auctions at 6 pm on the third Friday of every month.

Register in the office when you arrive to get your numbered sign. Bid on your choice of animals that come through the ring and ask our staff for help if you have any questions during the auction. We follow the current lineup during our weekly cattle sales – calves, feeders, heiferettes, pairs, preg-checked cows, bulls, and weigh cattle. After paying for your newly purchased livestock at the office, you will receive a bill of sale. Show your bill of sale to our handlers at the loading dock and we will help load the animals into your trailers as you see fit.

If you chose to get a calf dehorned or vaccinated, let us know beforehand by calling or stopping by the office. If you bought a bull to be taken home to your herd we will be asking for your signature in the office. This is to ensure that the bull will be quarantined until the Trichomoniasis test results are received.

Inspect your new purchases and grab a bite to eat in the restaurant before heading back out on the road. Please let us know of any questions you may have before the sale and thank you for choosing Cattlemen’s Livestock Auction for your buying needs.
