Our story

A true family barn — and it always has been.

Burleigh and Doris Wheeler opened the sale barn in 1989. In the fall of 2018 their children — Byron and Angela Wheeler, and Karla Wheeler Waters and Tom Waters — purchased the business and began operating as Wheeler Livestock Auction, Inc.

Byron and Angela grew up on beef farms in St. Clair County. Karla and Tom run a family row-crop operation in Orrick. Together they bring livestock knowledge, business experience, and a customer-service focus to every sale day. Nephew Austin Shelby manages the barn.

The seller with a few head is just as important as the one with 500. That is the reputation this crew works for daily.

Stock cow sale · 4:00 PM

600 head of bred heifers, bred cows, cow-calf pairs, and breeding bulls

This is a nice offering of young cows. The drought area is growing — if we go two more weeks without rain there will be many more cows coming to town.
