Just heard in the news tonight that Sumter County Livestock suspended operations last week after their sale. Built in the early 1940's had served as a tremendous asset to the cattle industry in Sumter County and the entire Southwest and Central GA area as well as East Alabama and North Florida.
Cattle farmers are very upset as they will have to travel to Hawkinsville, which is probably the closest one now. Maybe some will go to Turner County Stockyard in Ashburn.
Apparently this came as a shock to cattlemen in the area.
