"IN THE HEART OF THE BIG HORN BASIN"

Many of the ranchers in the Big Horn Basin will remember Rich from years back and he is excited to return as our head auctioneer and field representative.

Worland Livestock Auction has been serving Wyoming ranchers and horsemen since 1940.
Worland Livestock Auction has a sale every Thursday selling all classes of cattle, sheep, goats and hogs.
Horse sales are the first Saturday of every month excluding July. There are two consignment catalogue sales for horses each year, one in May and one in October. Arguably Worland Livestock Auction is "Wyoming's Largest Horse Market."
Jim Newby and Prewitt & Company have been in the cattle business for over 30 years. They have one of the largest orders for feedlot calves in the US, typically delivering over 100,000 contract calves to feedlots from October to November. They also have a very large market for yearling cattle.

Worland – Jim Newby and Sidney, Montana-based Prewitt and Company are the new
owners of Worland Livestock Auction in Worland.
“Our first sale is
Thursday,” said Newby during a March 18 interview with the Roundup. They were
expecting 1,700 head for the sale.
Newby, who just moved to the area from
Lewistown, Mont., said he was raised on a cow-calf ranch. “I’ve been order
buying for 15 years, the last 10 years as an order buyer for Prewitt and
Company.” Prewitt, said Newby, has been in the order buying business for over 30
years. “We order buy plus we feed a lot of cattle and run quite a few
yearlings.”
“I want to make it a place where people want to market their
cattle,” said Newby. Responding to what he called local concerns he said, “We’ll
darn sure have market protection.”
The barn will host
a sale every Thursday until some time in May when they’ll scale back to
every other week.
“Stop by and
visit us,” invites Newby. “We have a lot of people to meet. We know quite a few
ranchers having done business in this area over the years.”
Mid-March the
Livestock Marketing Association welcomed the salebarn as a new member.
