Animal Swaps & Auctions In. oh. ky.

[country jack]

I live in southeastern Indiana and used to go years ago go to all of the animal swaps and auction's but now I am kinda out of the loop . I would like to start going again but with all the new laws and regulations they do not put there sites on the internet any more . I do know of a few but would like to go to the others also.
Used to go to one in Greenville ohio . Would like to know when it will be again used to be twice a year.
Any help with locations Indiana , Ohio , Kentucky

DO NOT go to strawtown for animals! That place is dirty! Back before I knew any better, I have bought rabbits and poultry from there. Only one rabbit ever did not bring home sickness and death, or parasites. I had to get rid of all my chickens once, because of chickens I got from there that ended up being sick and infecting my whole flock. They also auction alot of exotics there (pets). who knows what they carry. yes, they run year round.

However! they do have a stuff auction, and a large flea market that are both good. just please dont buy animals from there.

There is a horse auction in Veedersburg, In either twice a month, or weekly. Ive driven past the auction barn 200 times with my job, but Ive never been. Ive heard there are alot of slaughter buyers there. I know nothing else. They usually advertise in the trader.

Jack, There is a Midwest Auctioneers Homepage on the net, and they discribe a consignment auction that takes place every first Wed of the month on highway 49 south of Greenville Oh. Sounds like mostly antique type stuff. They also have an auto auction on different days.
