[QUOTE="stocky, post: 179585, member: 1150"] The last one to operate that way around here was Springfield, Mo. They had 6 commission companies and they each had 30 minutes in the ring on rotation until all the companies had sold out for the day. For 50 years or more, this was the only place to sell cattle in this area. They took for granted that they would get everyone's business and that allowed all the small sale barns to get started. There are now around 25 auctions within 100 miles. That sale barn went under and was bought out and still runs as a very small business sale barn but is owned by the owner of the 2nd largest sale in the nation, 60 miles down the road at Joplin. Most of the former commission companies went together and built a 3 million dollar cattle auction on the outside of Springfield and it is doing very well. The website Springfieldlivestockmarketingcenter.com shows the new, modern barn. They had a great special stock cow sale there last week with black springer heifers bringing 1300-1500 per head.
