There are lots going on at CCALE. Here are some upcoming events and solutions to us not selling goats and sheep anymore.

March 22nd - There will be a buying station for goats and sheep at CCALE starting at 8 am to noon. Prices will be posted online and if you decide to sell them for the posted price then bring them to the salebarn and a check will be written to you minus a small fee per head. We will post a price per lb based on grade and age. We will post pictures and videos of grades of goats so everyone is on the same page and there are no discrepancies. Stay tuned for more updates on the buying station. If there is enough support, this will be a monthly buying station.

March 29th - we will be holding an equipment auction in conjunction with Walnut Grove Auctions. Feel free to call Steven at 828-308-8512 or Will Carnes 8648845210 to consign your equipment.

April 19th - We will be holding a replacement cow and bull sale. We have really good bred cows, open heifers, and cow/calf pairs consigned. Please call if you are interested in selling with us, spaces are limited. Call Steven 828-308-8512 or CCALE 7044192555 to consign your livestock. All cows need to be 4 years old or less. Very limited space for breeding bulls but they have to be 2 years of age or less. Thank you.

The weather is going to dictate the price of cattle this week, not really the market. If you are on the fence as to sell or not this week. I would recommend letting the weather pass and then sale them in a week or 2. Cattle prices are high but if we can't get them to where they need to be they will be cheaper. We want to get the most for everyones cattle we can, so it's hard to say as a market operator but try to keep them until better weather. Thank you, Steven Matthews

We will NOT be having anymore small animal sales until further notice. It has become too hard to find help and we are considering other options at this time, but as of now we will no longer have a small animal sale. Thank you all for your support, it was not an easy decision to make. We will still have cattle sales every Tuesday starting at 11 a.m. and we hope to see you all there. Thank you.
