Lamb Pool Consignment Procedure
Have Lambs Preconsigned by Thursday at 4:00 PM
Market lambs, feeder lambs, slaughter sheep, and goats can be consigned for any of the dates listed.
Three Step Consignment Procedure
- Call Equity Cooperative Livestock Sales Association at 1-800-362-3989.
- Consign your lambs during the week prior to the pool date, no later than Thursday at 4:00 p.m. Consignments are taken on first-come, first-serve basis until the load(s) are full. (Lambs are sold in load units of 400 head or 48,000 pounds.)
- To insure maximum value, please describe your lambs accurately. You will be asked several important questions:
- Which pool date and location?
- What is the owner's name, address, and phone number?
- How many head?
- What is the average weight?
- Are the lambs shorn? How long ago?
- Number of rams?
- Other information--breed, colored, amount of finish?
Please deliver your lambs between 7:30 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. on the pool date. Please note: The grader will be at Altoona between noon and 1:30 p.m.
Note: Packer View on Cleanliness. For further information, please e-mail djohnson@equitycoop.com
