Weekly Auction Schedule

The regular cattle auction is held every Wednesday at 11 a.m. That is the fixed weekly event; other sales are scheduled separately.

Selling Cattle: Drop-Off Hours

If you want to sell cattle, the site states the following receiving hours:

  • Monday through Thursday: 24 hours a day
  • Friday through Sunday: 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

If those hours do not fit your schedule, the business asks that you make arrangements ahead of time so they can accommodate you. In practice, that means calling the office before bringing cattle outside the posted windows rather than arriving unannounced.

Special Replacement Female Sales

At various times throughout the year, Pearsall Livestock Auction holds special replacement female sales. These are separate from the weekly Wednesday auction, and the business directs visitors to its "Upcoming Sales" page for dates and details. If you are specifically shopping for replacement females, check that page or call the office rather than assuming a given Wednesday auction will include them.

Services Beyond the Auction

The business states it is available to help with all aspects of a cattle operation, and points visitors to its "Services" page for specifics. The site itself does not enumerate those services in the material available here, so the reliable next step is to review that page or call the office with your particular need.

When This Auction Fits Your Situation

  • You are selling cattle in South Texas and want a weekly market with broad receiving hours, including overnight drop-off early in the week.
  • You are buying cattle and can attend the Wednesday 11 a.m. auction.
  • You are looking for replacement females and are willing to track the special sale calendar instead of relying only on the weekly auction.
  • Your schedule conflicts with posted hours — call ahead; the business explicitly offers to make arrangements.

If you need a sale day other than Wednesday, or you want confirmation of a specific special sale date, contact the office directly at 830-334-3653 before making the trip.
