What are the cattle drop-off hours at Pearsall Livestock Auction?

Updated

Pearsall Livestock Auction accepts cattle for sale Monday through Thursday 24 hours a day, and Friday through Sunday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. If those windows don't fit your schedule, the auction asks that you make arrangements ahead of time so it can accommodate you.

Drop-off hours at a glance

Day Hours for delivering cattle
Monday–Thursday 24 hours a day
Friday–Sunday 8:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m.

The auction states it accepts cattle during these hours for anyone looking to sell with them. Outside the standard windows, the alternative is to call ahead and set something up rather than arriving unannounced.

Where to bring cattle

The auction is located at 2540 South Interstate 35 (exit 99) on the southbound access road in Pearsall, Texas.

When the cattle actually sell

Delivery hours are separate from sale day. Cattle auctions are held every Wednesday at 11 a.m. The auction also holds special replacement female sales at various times during the year; details on those are posted on its "Upcoming Sales" page.

Who to call

If you need to arrange a drop-off outside the posted hours, or want help buying or selling cattle, the auction lists these contacts:

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

Practical notes

  • Plan around the weekend cutoff. Friday through Sunday closes at 5:00 p.m., so a late Friday arrival won't work without a prior arrangement.
  • Weekday delivery is the most flexible option. Monday through Thursday has no time-of-day restriction.
  • Sale day is Wednesday at 11 a.m., so if you want cattle in a particular week's sale, confirm timing with the office when you arrange delivery.
  • Call before you deviate from the posted hours. The auction explicitly asks for advance arrangements when the standard hours don't fit your schedule.
