Amarillo Livestock Auction is a year long event that attracts the attention of cattle owners from all over the state of Texas. This privately owned independent livestock auction is held in Amarillo, Texas and an estimated hundred thousand cattle exchange hands annually. This auction is also an important contributor to the economy of the region.
Held every Tuesday of the year, visitors can directly experience the excitement in the air and also interact with the cattlemen and the cowboys. Though visitors cannot see the pre auction activity such as cattle being weighed and getting sorted, the exact auction process can be observed. Every other day of the week, tourists can freely move around in the auction ring and check out the history of the event and the procedures followed.
The auction has gained popularity due to the fact that it offers the best price discovery for cattle breeders. Apart from auction services there is wholesale and retail distribution, direct sales service and franchise operations carried out by the management of the Amarillo Livestock Auction.
The Stockyard Café located just beside the cattle auction ground is a great place to have a delicious snack or lunch all at affordable rates and of course is an excellent place to relax.
