From Blake's Desk
-- 2024 Summer Edition  --
I don’t think that I am alone when I say that it is hard to believe that the end of June is here. Wow, how time flies when you’re having fun. These last five months have been quite a ride in the cattle business that is for sure. We have enjoyed record cattle prices from weigh-up cows, bulls, feeders, bred cows and pairs. It is great to see a market like this and the positive attitude it puts back into the rural communities and families.

The Benefits of Early Cattle Consignment.

By consigning your cattle ten days to two weeks ahead of time you help us make your livestock merchandising experience the best it! Early consignment means we have time for advertising, promotion and preparation to receive your livestock the best care possible. This also gives us the opportunity to contact buyers so they can, in-turn, contact their customers to find out their needs at sale time, to pre-arrange trucking and care on the other end. This greatly helps your cattle perform better for their new owner, thus helping build your reputation in the industry. 

We please ask if you are selling cattle at a Bred Cow or Pair Sale please have your cattle to the sale barn the Sunday BEFORE a special sale by NOON. No EXCEPTIONS. Cattle received after the cut off date will be sold as exposed at ranch. This insures our vet has time to get cattle preg checked and we have a sufficient amount of time to advertise your cattle. 

SELLER CHECK OPTIONS:

➀ Same Day Pickup - If you would like to stop by our office and pick up the checks the day of the sale, you are more than welcome to. OR;
➁ Hold For Pickup - If you would like us to hold the check for you to pick up, please call.
