Two words that business people
around the world take very
seriously. Members of the
Pennsylvania Livestock Auction
Association take free enterprise
very seriously too. They realize
that producers have a choice
when it comes time to buy and
sell livestock and they are
dedicated to making sure that
producers can take advantage of
the free enterprise system in the
best way possible... at the local
auction market.
Pennsylvania livestock markets
strive to provide you with the
kind of service you deserve as a
business person and a friend.
You can be assured that the
honesty, integrity and solid
marketing fundamentals found at
your local market will ensure
nothing less than the true market
value for your livestock.
