COTTONWOOD, Calif. – It is a new era for the Shasta Livestock Auction Yard. They hold weekly in-person sales but Friday, Feb. 12, will be the last time.
Ellington Peek founded the Shasta Livestock Auction Yard in 1961. At the time, it was still based in Anderson. They then moved to its cottonwood location in 1966.
Since then, the auction yard serviced many local ranchers in the area. But now, General Manager of Shasta Livestock & Western Video Market, Brad Peek, says it s making a change.
