Cape Girardeau, MO Auction,

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Countryside : One Thread

I am looking for info on a livestock auction that is in Cape Girardeau, MO, it is in April and runs 3 days. We are suppose to go with some friends, if you have been there I would like to hear what you have to say about it, Is it something that is a waste of time or is it something everyone in the family may enjoy? How are the prices? Is it a large event? I have went to the Cape Girardeau, Mo web page and looked under the calander of event's but nothing is listed for the auction. Thanks in advance. God Bless.

That sounds like it's the Mid-America Exotic Animal Auction. Probably a good Auction if you are searching for Exotics or Alternative Livestock.

Tracy, We live across the highway and about 1/2 mile away from the site of the auction but have never attended it. It is actually just north of the little unincorporated town of Fruitland, Mo. You take I 55 north and get off at exit 105. The auction is at a livestock auction barn about 2 miles or so north on highway 61. Although I have never been to it, I understand it is worth going to if you are interested in exotics. I believe people come from all over the United States, including representatives of such people as Michael Jackson,etc..

As well as the exotic stock I think there may be some turkeys and stuff for sale as well. If you plan to stay overnight, book a room well in advance because the motels in the area all fill up. Cape Girardeau has a Holiday Inn and several others. There is a fairly new motel called the Bavarian Inn in Fruitland that is supposed to be really nice, but it will fill up quickly too. I may try to go this year myself! Mona Lea
