Middlesex Live Stock Auction — Local services in Middlefield

Went to the auction for this first time with my son which was a very interesting experience. It was actually quite fun. The handling of the animals is a bit rough but, it's an auction. Brought home a bunny, a bird and 2 kid goats, still bottle fed. The female kid ended up being incredibly sick and I brought her to the vet the day after we brought her home. I immediately reached out to the auction house. I was assured help would be gotten. They seemed very empathetic to the situation. She had pneumonia, an overload of parasites and lice. About 2 weeks old according to the vet. The vet was not hopeful. Ultimately the vet was right. She passed away about 3 days later. I let the auction house know and they said sorry, there is nothing they can do. Took ZERO responsibility for selling me a very sick kid, after admitting they advertise healthy kid goats. I was completely willing to work with them. Even come up with a solution together. Nothing. So I asked for a replacement kid..."I dont know if he has anymore".... so I asked for my money back "it doesn't work that way".... then when I said "leaving me high and dry isn't fair, I'm totally willing to work together", my messages stopped being read and I was ignored. So I paid for her, racked up a vet bill and now I'm being ghosted. This exchange was through FB messenger. Tried calling also to no avail. Obviously me not returning to this place isn't going to make or break them so they wont care. But heed my warning, you better be able to recognize a sick animal cause they will do nothing to help you if it drops dead in the few oncoming days. Such a poor way to...

Absolutely horrific. Needs to be shut down and a long time coming. Summertime theres 2 ceiling fans from 1950 doing nothing for these animals crammed in crates, pens and cages. Feels like it’s 110 inside imagine the geese crammed in crates piled on top of eachother. I’ve seen more death and lame abused animals in this facility than any horror movie. Police do nothing. I’ve seen the farmers throw lame sheep on the concrete ground. Babies trampled on. Dead chickens in the isle. It’s straight outta hell. Nothing has changed in 40 years. The owners don’t care, they’re numb to it. I rescued animals from there and they were all sick from geese to goats. I have photos of sheep w broken legs getting trampled on. It’s 2022, stop supporting this ancient bs! Animals deserve better treatment and CT State laws are broken...

I have been going to this auction house since my childhood. I just go the equipment auctions now with my grandson who told me during his first visit Papa this is very exciting. I always find something at a good price. Minibikes, go karts, quads, tools everything you could imagine and some things you wouldn't. One auction I bought a big cardboard box with a new open box disassembled shower in it paid $70.00 for it, turned out to be a high-end steam shower that sold for $1400,00 on Wayfair. Heck I even bought the kitchen sink once. You want to have some fun take the kids take the whole family. My grandson told me don't forget to tell people about the really good hot dogs and cheeseburgers they...
