🐐 Morris Bros. Stockyard Launches First Goat and Sheep Sale in Pikeville

Livestock producers and small-scale farmers across the Cumberland Plateau region now have a new venue for marketing goats and sheep. Morris Bros. Stockyard in Pikeville is stepping into a market niche with their inaugural sale event, offering area ranchers an alternative outlet for their herds.

📅 Event Details & Consignment Information

The first Goat and Sheep Sale takes place Monday, November 16th at 6:00 PM at Morris Bros. Stockyard in Pikeville. 🕕 Consignment drop-off runs from 8:00 AM to 5:45 PM CST the same day, giving producers a full window to deliver their animals before the sale begins.

Early interest is already building-the stockyard has already received 17 goats on consignment ahead of the sale. 📸 The operation is encouraging producers to share photos of their intended consignments in advance, helping buyers and sellers connect before the event.

⭐ What This Means for Local Producers

For goat and sheep producers in the Dunlap area and across the plateau, a dedicated sale venue reduces transportation costs and time spent hauling animals to distant markets. The Monday evening timing accommodates working farmers and ranchers who may have other commitments during traditional daytime auctions. 🚜

Morris Bros. Stockyard’s entry into the goat and sheep market reflects growing interest in alternative livestock across the region-from dairy operations to meat production and fiber enterprises. The stockyard’s willingness to test this market segment suggests confidence in local demand.
