I have never reviewed anything on here before, but after our experience here today I think it is a must. We sold just 3 heifers and 1 bull today, and received a fair price. I love the family friendly atmosphere. I love seeing the kiddos helping and learning work values and ethics. And might I add that the young boy auctioneering does a fabulous job. As our family ranch continues to grow we be bringing our livestock to Premier. Thank you again and God bless each of you !

They are very friendly people they have a lot of cattle that go through their ring more than any other sale barn that I have ever seen they get higher prices

Nice building and clean sale barn and they typically have plenty of buyers to sell your stock to. Usually have a nice variety of hay as well. Only issue with the guy loading hay, just outright grouchy and didn't seem to care how well it's loaded.

Geared towards commercial buyers and sellers only. If you don't have a semi load it's not worth it. Watch your check amount if you sell too. Some animals never go through the ring and that can affect your price greatly.
