Ukiah Auction Yards Fueling Regional Livestock Trade
Austin Pennington has run the Ukiah Auction Yards since 1948, making it a key market outlet for Redwood Empire livestock. Weekly sales draw about 1,200 cattle 500 hogs and 700 sheep, with Saturday auctions adding a $3,000 monthly cash return for owners. The yard buys 2,500 cattle and 2,000 sheep annually from western states and ships them here, supporting local merchants and harvest laborers while providing ethical, steady market opportunities.
