Always polite and well organized! It can be a bit crowded at the sales but we’ll worth it for the selection! We send our calves there and the send is the check in the mail.. it would be a lot of travel if we had to go both ways!!

Used there lit to transfer lambs onto my trailer. Huge lit and easy in and our.

Every time we sell here our sold price is a few hundred dollars below what they state on their market reports.

Nice building. Reasonable prices.

My rating would have been 0 star if I could have done that!!! This is the worst sales barn you could possibly go. They have zero respect for their customers, no courtesy, they are dishonest and do not hold to their word, they have no business ethics whatsoever. In my book, with that kind of records, they should never be in business at all! We brought 5 cows at their special sale on February 17th 2018. We brought them on that particular Saturday just because it was a special sale. On their own, they decided to only sell 3 of them during the special sale, planning to sell the 2 others on the following Monday, 19th of Feb. at the regular Cow & Bull sale. Totally disregarding our rights as “owners”, they didn’t even bother letting us know, not even given us a chance to decide if we wanted to sell them at the next regular sale, or if we wanted to postpone the sale for another time. We only found out about their endeavor because we decided to pick up our check on Saturday evening instead of having it in the mail. At that point, it was by looking at our receipt that we found out. When we inquired about it, we were told that they thought the 2 cows that they had withheld from the special sale would be sold at a better price on Monday. As we didn’t have our trailer with us and knowing that they would still be sold at a cow sale, we agreed to leave them. When we saw the weather alert, on Monday 19th early morning; we decided to retrieve our cows especially seeing how badly cows had sold earlier in the month with similar weather conditions. I called way before the sale and informed one of the managers. Late afternoon, when we arrived at the barn, we were surprised to see one of our BWF. Their receipt from the Saturday’s sale was erroneously showing that our 2 BWF had been sold on that day. That was our understanding and their employee understood the receipt just like we did, but when I called today, Mr. Ed Ford told me that B-WF was not a typo for BWF but meant a “BA” & a “BWF”. Regardless that miss-understanding with their dubious way of writing out their receipts; when we were at the sales barn on Monday 19th, and saw our BWF (which we really wanted to sell as we were removing the BWF from our herd), my husband spoke with Mr. Ed Ford on the phone and agreed to leave her till the next Cow & Bull sale thus, Monday 26th. Mr. Ed Ford gave us “his word” that they would take care of her till the next Monday, “D” day of sale. As we thought he would be a “man of his word”, we left the barn trusting him, and persuaded that our cow would be sold on the 26th. But, that was our mistake as this man cannot be trusted! Today, we were surprised to find a check from the sales barn in our mail??? We were shocked to see that our cow, who was supposed to be sold on the 26th as per our agreement with Mr. Ed Ford, had been sold on the 20th! Not only, Mr. Ed Ford sold our cow behind our back, but he dared sell her on Tuesday 20th to the SLAUGHTER HOUSE!!!!! A perfectly sound cow that was only going to turn 6 years old this coming Spring!!! Her fate was to become another’s farmer cow and to continue to breed, not to be disposed at the slaughter house!!!! This is so UNETHICAL!!!!!! We cannot stand to have been deceived in such a manner and at the expense of a sound animal! Do they know anything about “respect & courtesy toward customers”??? And about the “respect” that one has to show for life, even the one of an animal??? This sales barn is a disgrace! And though Mr. Ed Ford bragged of being in business for years, like I told him on the phone, he doesn’t deserve to remain in business when he treats his customers and their livestock with no consideration at all. This is appalling! What he deserves is to be sued! I will never set one foot in the “Springfield Livestock Marketing Center” ever again and I will warn all the farmers I know and come across!

Need cattle, or horse to sell or buy? This is the place to go! Also they have one of the best restaurants Ive ever eating at inside and its called mingles restaurant. The owner is a awesome hard working woman whos owned this business for a long time and the food and service couldnt be better! Also if your wanting to buy or sell cattle/horses then this is Definitely the place to go and do it!! Its an auction center/restaurant! I suggest trying it out! You wont want to go anywhere else!

My husband has been a dairy farmer for over 45 years and weve had no problems with this auction. Big ring flanked by raised seats for easy viewing each sale. On site cafeteria isnt too bad. Im not going lie, the entire building has that certain outdoorsy smell to it, but thats the nature of its business...hundreds of large animals and tired farmers in cow perfumed overalls moving throughout.Easy access from I-44 West...with the exception of the 2 immediate curves on the side road to auction...tricky to negotiate when a large truck and loaded trailer meets another...Large parking lot, but on some days...its totally full. Public restrooms.

I took a decent black steer and a gray steer up to the sale. Gray one brought .90 and the black one brought .10.. thats a crock

It casual but well organized and I saw some interesting items up for auction....

Good for church

This restaurant that is in here has the best burgers I ever put in my mouth.

All your livestock marketing needs

Well organized and didnt smell with lots of space

Love it

Bought pairs there at a special cow sale.

One of the better sale barns in SW Missouri. Great little diner. Comfortable seating in the auction arena, some seating has fold up desktops.

Awesome livestock auction barn. Clean, well run. Good food, priced resonabale. Clean restrooms

Love the food, the people

Other the the people being rude as hell it was a good sale. The woman ask the pay out lady If out side sales were allowed and they said yes but it still has to come through the office. So a deal was made and we went back to pay and they flipped out over it. Telling the person who we were getting if from if he went through with it he wouldnt be allowed back. Just not a very honest thing to do after saying it was ok. But hey we still got the animal at the same price we offered the guy.

Good ol boys

Great location, excellent large meeting room upstairs, fantastic facility & auctioneers.

Bought some livestock here... Nice facility

I go to church there!

This is the best church ever. Come see us at 7:30 for our first service on Sunday

I would like to address the person responsible for having two TWO different sales on the same day to never make a decision of that level for anything similar, unless you enjoy a complete and utter FUBAR situation, thank you have a pleasant day

Great

3 out of 3 times, I got way less than average, barely breaking even on a couple and losing my butt on another, and they were dairy cows, which is what Springfield livestock does. Severely disappointed and will never go back and always recommend against it.

It is a clean honest and respectful livestock market

Good place to sell your livestock
