Lee City stockyard is pretty close if it is still operating. London still has 2 stockyards.
Yes, Lee City is still operating, I usually go there a couple times a year. They have a regional heifer sale there, that is through UK and Morehead State University. The sale is unique in that all of the heifers are taken to a farm in Perry County in I believe October, and developed and bred there all under the same management until the sale time the next year. The farm as I understand it is on a reclaimed strip mine.
I thought that London had 2 stockyards, but have only been to 1 of them in fairly recent years, and was unsure if both still were in operation. One of the London markets has a large weekly goat sale. Lee City usually has a lot of goats, and hogs too.
There is also a new processing plant close to the Lee City yards as well, we took a beef there last fall.
