Enny u NE Okies go to the Amish sale today at Inola/Choutou?

[FarmboyBill]

My boy took me. It was huge, around 5 acres looked like. Maybe a 1000 people. We got there by 830 and it looked like 200 cars was already there. Standard round bales of good grass hay, $34.50. Didnt ask what the GREEN square bales brought. Bought 8 full grown rabbits, in a tall cage with 2 compartments, a low wheel push plow without the handles, a horse slip without the handles, a long handle schovel and a short handle schovel both with origional paint on the handles, both with a straight blade, and a homemade box trap for $31.50. DIL bought u Angoria rabbits, a buck black and a doe white, but I dont know what she paid. Saw 7 4 month or so turkeys go for $14.00. Owner wasnt happy bout that. Had some beautiful chickens AND roosters, chukas, quail, pigions, ducks, geese, rabbits, guns, I saw frontier style pistols going for around $100. Wanted to see the long guns sell, but they were selling like 1/2 boxes individual of shells, whatever somebody had to get rid of I guess. I said they should have sold the guns first, that would made it more important to buy the shells later, thereby raising the price maybe. Everything I saw went, I thought cheap, but for one thing. They had a dang nice old time gas stove I wanted, bur somebody else wanted it too. He got it at $40, and now im dang glad. It was HEAVY, and here by myself I dont know how I would have got it put anywhere by myself. The show is once a month, but u gotta go EARLY. They had trucks, and tractors, imp, but me being there from 8 30 to 3 30 was enough for me and I didnt see them sell. GOOD food too.

I'm glad you posted this farmboybill. I live about 35-40 miles east of choteau and I can't never remember just what weekend they have it. I'll have to write it down on the calendar so I'll remember.

last Amish auction I went to I gained 5 pounds from the homemade donuts. hehe.

[Hip_Shot_Hanna]

Doggone it! You Okies are very fortunate to be able to attend that sort of sale. I don't reckon there's anything like that around here - it would almost be worth it to drive there.

Nah... it's seven hours one way... sigh. I have a sister that lives near Tulsa, hmmm.. nah... LOL!

[Westwood]

Love that sale!! I really miss it now, being in AR. Went every time I could get someone to watch mom for me. Always bargains everywhere. We lived on NS 427 about a mile east and 4 miles north. I grew up around there, graduated from Chouteau High and it's better than class reunions seeing people I grew up with at that auction.

[ajharris]

I have never been to the one in Inola/Choutou. But I go to the one in Clarita in SE Ok almost every year.

[Westwood]

Oh, the guy who owns it is E.J. Chupp. There's probably a listing in the Inola phone book.

[uncle Will in In.]

There is an Amish auctioneer up here in Lagrange county Indiana named Chupp. Very popular in that area. All Amish
