Livestock Auctions: An Essential Service
Posted on March 1, 2021
We remain open and are here to assist you in marketing your livestock and farm machinery.
As a part of Alberta’s food supply chain, livestock auction markets and agricultural equipment suppliers, are classified as 'essential services'.
We have always strived to keep our facility as clean as possible, for our clients, and their livestock. We will continue to provide the highest level of maintenance and cleanliness. We commit to providing a clean and sanitized environment for our buyers and consignors.
We strongly encourage our staff and guests to exercise social distancing as outlined by health officials. When at our facility, we ask that you respect the personal space (a minimum of six feet) of others and follow the guidelines set out by the Government of Alberta. Since December of 2020, masks are now mandatory in all indoor public places (this includes our auction ring), as well as all office settings, in the Province of Alberta.
If you are an active bidder, we welcome your attendance.
We are reminding our consignors and bidders that they can view a real-time broadcast of any of our feeder or breeder cattle sales, and all machinery sales. This service is provided by the Canadian Live Internet Exchange (CLIX).
We are accepting bids by phone either prior to, or during, each sale. On-line bidding is available at most of our auction events. Regular Cow and Bull Sales
As a consignor who is delivering livestock to the market, we ask that you allow our staff to unload your trailer and exit the premise as soon as possible. We will mail out cheques on the day following the auction, unless other arrangements have been made.

We are here to serve you.
