Miles City Livestock Commission Company is one of the oldest stockyards in this part of America. In the early years it was strictly a horse market and shipped thousands of military horses all over the world. In 1941 the auction began selling all classes of livestock with an emphasis on cattle.
The company built a new facility at our present location in 1950. Rob Fraser, Bart Meged and two additional partners purchased the auction in September of 1991. Fraser bought out the interests of all owners except Meged in August 1995.
Miles City Livestock Commission Company
has had 15 years of continuous growth. Receipts have grown from 20,000
to 80,000 head of cattle anually. An additional 45,000 -55,000 head are
sold by Frontier Stockyards - our Internet livestock sales partner.
Over the last several years we have completely rebuilt the stockyards. We have all new pens made of 2 3/8 inch pipe. Our hay racks are set up for big square bales fed with a Bobcat. We have a variety of dirt pens for multi-load consignments. The entire yard back section is new. Our processing end has been upgraded with a new hydraulic squeeze chute. The load out area has new concrete surfaces at all six chutes. A new check-in office, and drive-thru trailer setup. The feedable capacity of the yards is 5,000-6,000 head. Our waste water system is DEQ certified and new in 2000.
We are very proud of our facility. It is clean, well managed, and very functional. We can handle any class of livestock including buffalo. Cattle are well taken care of and purchased cattle go back on feed and water after each sale.
