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.
Montana is cattle and ranch country through and through. With more land per capita than nearly any other state, Montana ranchers raise beef and bison on vast open ranges where animals graze on native grasses year-round. The hunting tradition here is equally strong - deer, elk, and antelope processing are a way of life.
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.
