Livestock auctions are the backbone of the American agricultural economy. They provide a transparent, competitive market for buying and selling cattle, hogs, sheep, goats, and other animals.
Kentucky is home to some of the country's most celebrated pork traditions, from its famous country ham to burgoo stew. The state has a rich history of small family farms raising hogs, cattle, and sheep on rolling bluegrass pastures.
First-time auction buyers should consider attending several sales before bidding. Most auctions welcome observers at no charge. When you're ready to buy, register with the auction office and receive a buyer number.
Livestock auction activity follows the agricultural calendar. Cow-calf pairs are most common in spring. Feeder cattle predominate in fall. Check with your local auction barn for their sale schedule.
