Pearsall Livestock Auction holds its weekly cattle auction every Wednesday at 11 a.m. at 2540 South Interstate 35 (exit 99) on the southbound access road in Pearsall, Texas. That Wednesday schedule is the standing weekly sale; the auction also holds special replacement female sales at various times throughout the year, with dates posted on its "Upcoming Sales" page.

Special sales Replacement female sales at various times during the year

The auction has served South Texas ranchers since 1994, so the Wednesday sale is a long-standing weekly fixture rather than a one-off event.

Selling Cattle: Delivery Hours

If you plan to sell cattle, the auction accepts cattle during these 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 auction asks that you make arrangements ahead of time so they can accommodate you. In other words, the weekend window is narrower than the weekday window, and anything outside the posted hours needs to be coordinated in advance rather than handled as a walk-up.

Checking Special Sale Dates

Beyond the weekly Wednesday auction, Pearsall Livestock Auction holds special replacement female sales at various points in the year. The auction directs visitors to its "Upcoming Sales" page for more information on those dates. If you are specifically buying or selling replacement females, check that page rather than assuming the regular Wednesday sale covers it.

Contacting the Auction

The auction lists three contacts for buying or selling cattle:

  • Kelley Thigpen: 830-334-1047
  • Frank Helvey: 210-213-0753
  • Office: 830-334-3653

The auction also notes it can help with all aspects of a cattle operation, with details on its "Services" page.

What to Confirm Before You Go

  • For buyers: the Wednesday 11 a.m. start time is the fixed weekly anchor; special sales run on separate dates.
  • For sellers: weekday delivery is open around the clock Monday through Thursday, while Friday through Sunday delivery is limited to 8:00–5:00.
  • If your schedule conflicts: call ahead to arrange a different drop-off time instead of arriving outside posted hours.

The auction's own framing is straightforward: call if they can help you buy or sell cattle, and check the Upcoming Sales page before traveling for anything other than the regular Wednesday sale.
