Barry and Dannielle McCoy, owners of Dillon Livestock Auction, have purchased Montana Livestock Auction in Ramsay, MT, expanding their livestock marketing operation in southwest Montana.
The Montana Department of Livestock approved the transfer on Aug. 27. The McCoys purchased the market from Sandy Nuffer, wife of the late Blake Nuffer.
Nuffer said in a Facebook post that her family made the difficult decision after considerable thought, conversations and prayer. She thanked customers and employees for their support following Blake’s death and said the McCoys have her full support as they carry the auction forward.
Western Ag Network reported the acquisition will give buyers and sellers more sale day and livestock receiving options while connecting the two markets’ established customer bases across southwest Montana and into Idaho.
