I don't like to post things but , I thought people needed to know. My husband and I went to the auction today and I was so disappointed. When we got their the trucks were wrapped around the building. We waited patiently for over two hours when finally, I had to go to the ladies room. When I walked up the stair, there were men sitting at a table eating lunch. No lights on and no one seemed to be working. I guess they have to hold hands to eat! Even the office was dark. They told me outside that they were told it would be at least another hour.

And on the other hand, some adjustments need to be made at the check-in area. Can't tell me no one noticed. It was obvious. Since all peppers were placed good side...
Read moreUnprofessional, the lady in the office is rude. They don't know what customer service is. When unloading we stated how they needed to be sold. Cow calf pairs, bred heifers, etc. The guy unloading thought he knew more about it. Clearly not!! Took a week plus to get a check, had to pay them to get a new one for stopped payment because stated "they can't control the mail" clearly if it was mailed when they stated it shouldn't have been an issue. Definitely won't...
