Consignments need to be there by 2 and livestock before 3 on Sat. if you want it advertised on Facebook. We take consignments till 3 and livestock till 5 or after until the sale is over.

If you are planning on bringing stock let us know so we can advertise it on the web page as coming and maybe we can get some extra buyers for your livestock ...but we post everything on the web page by noon Fri. so get that info to us by then.  Help yourself by letting us advertise what you are bringing. Pictures are posted on Facebook after livestock is received Fri. night or Sat. morning.

Notice:  The ban on rabbit sales has been lifted as of Sept 24. They suggest if purchasing rabbits to quarantine for at least 10 days but are no restrictions on selling now.  We will be accepting rabbits for sale Sat.

Starting to get a few calls.  Had a lady call and she visited with Wayne for a long time about our sale and how we do things.  She said she might bring some animals this weekend if she has time to catch them up and will let us know.  She has not been happy where she has been going so she was inquiring.  We thank you all for telling your friends about our sale barn and our service.  This lady said she would call back and let us know if she  was able to bring them this weekend and as of noon Fri we have not heard from her.

Remember there are 5 Sat this month. The sale is OCT 24th. Oct 31 and Nov 7 will be off days.  Then the next sale will be Nov 14, then Nov 28 and we wind up 2020 on Dec 12th our last sale for this year.  We do Not have a sale Dec 26 Christmas weekend.  Start out 2021 on Jan 9th.  Boy it seems like we just started this year in ways and it seems like this year has gone on forever in other ways.

We need to find a couple people to pen goats during the sale.  Right now we have enough but if anyone is gone we need a back up. You will work part time so you can learn the system then fill in when others are gone.(sports, activities, family)  Inquire if you are interested.

We are needing someone to learn the office and also ring clerking.  Must be friendly, computer literate, be able to learn the program, count money, make change, balance after the sale, and be cool under fast paced activity.   Interested inquire.  Call Karen at  405  240  6338

Got a call today about a guy bringing about 12 head depending on the weather.  I think Fri may be bad but Sat looks good only a little chilly.  As of noon today we have not heard from this person either.  It has not rained here so not a problem getting loaded but may have where he is.  So often people think about letting us know Fri afternoon and we are not at the shop to put these notices on the web page.  So if they show up tonight or tomorrow before 2 we will post them on Facebook.  Anything arriving after 2 Pm gets iffy as to time to get them on there.

We just had a call about a guy bringing a wether goat to sell this weekend.  Going to donate the proceeds to the Veterans organization in Stillwater to help Veterans for this upcoming Veterans Day.  We will find out more and announcement at the sale.

According to Ranch and Rural Living or Goat and Sheep magazine the reason for prices staying up is demand.  There isn’t enough meat because of selling off stock last year in the drought and people are wanting to restock or just start raising goats or sheep.  They have seen the value of having a  clean pasture of weeds and brush. How long is this demand going to exceed the market production who knows.

Beware of buying stations and buyers who come to the farm to buy.  Goats and sheep are in short supply and bringing good prices.  Don’t sell yourself short. Know what they are bringing at the sale and KNOW your weights.  We’ve gotten quite a few reports from people who did this and felt they were scammed.  It’s the old seller beware.

It’s FAll and dry!!!  Be fire aware. If we get rain remember in wet weather the parasites are more problems.   Stay on top of it.  Do not feed on the ground and rotate pastures if you can.  Don’t let parasites rob you of profits.   And if they hit don’t just worm once do it every 5-7 days for 3 or 4 times to clean them up. Wormy or sick goats don’t bring much money and dead ones sure don’t.  Watch them closely in wet weather.

Occasionally we have someone who wants to sell a Llama or Pyrenees or Anatolia or crossed Pyr/Ana guard dogs and we will sell them.  We do not sell other mixed breeds of dogs. The other common used guard animal is a donkey and we do not sell those.

We get extra Goat and Sheep magazine and Ranch and Rural Living magazines and you are welcome to pick up either one or both. They have some really good articles.  We lay these out on the tables and you can take one if you like.
