Five States Livestock Auction has been operating in Union County, New Mexico, since the 1950's. It was sold to the current owners in December, 1989, and had its first sale in January, 1990. Since that first sale 30 years ago, Five States Livestock Auction has been an active supporter of local 4H clubs, FFA, and many other student activities. Not only does Five States Livestock Auction contribute to the youth but also to the local economy as most supplies and services are contracted locally.
