Springfield Livestock Horse Sale
6821 W Independence Dr * Springfield, MO 65802
NEXT SALE FRIDAY - JANUARY 31ST
Join us on the LAST FRIDAY of EVERY MONTH!
The NEW YEAR has brought EXCITING CHANGES to Springfield! New sale name, same location, same sale dates, same auctioneer and ring crew, but we've changed a few things!
We can't wait to see everyone for our first sale of 2025!
*NEW SCHEDULE*
NO MORE TACK SALE! We will no longer sell new tack at every sale, however, we WILL have tack vendors set up with shopping available to meet your tack item needs. We will have special TWO DAY SALES throughout the year that will include an all day tack sale! You can look for the first one of those specials MARCH 28TH & MARCH 29TH
SADDLES (NEW & USED ACCEPTED) 5pm - In person bidding only
ONLY SADDLES - ABSOLUTELY NO OTHER ITEMS!
HORSES will immediately follow the saddles so the exact start time will vary but you can expect the horses to start selling sometime between 5:20 and 5:45 pm.
Early Consignment Horses Sell FIRST - Open Consignments then Loose to Follow
Online Bidding will be available for horses!
Welcome to the online bidding platform for Springfield Livestock Horse Sale! We are excited to bring you an online catalog monthly of horses, ponies, mules, and donkeys consigned to the sale!
Consigned animals will sell in numerical order and those consigned ahead will SELL FIRST.
Here on this online bidding platform, you can watch and bid live just as if you were with us in person! You will have listings available to you ahead of time, you’ll know the hip number of your favorites and the order they will sell in. This will make it easier for our online bidders to participate and hopefully get the horse(s) they have their eyes on! All of the Hip Numbers will start as "To Be Announced" and as consignors send in their footnotes, photos, and videos, we'll be adding them. Check back often! At sale time, you'll have REAL TIME video & audio and bid buttons available to you and you can join us from anywhere in the world with a reliable internet or cellular connection!
As soon as a horse, pony, mule, or donkey is posted, early absentee bidding becomes available to you! This works much like ebay for those of you familiar with that. You can place your maximum bid ahead of time and the computer will then act as your agent at sale time, bidding on your behalf by minimum increments to keep you in the lead. This option is useful for those of you with poor internet/cell service at home, those who are unable to watch live for any reason, and also for you folks who find the fast pace of a live auction to be intimidating. PLEASE NOTE that if you place an early absentee bid and that animal comes into the ring with an announcement that changes the information that was available to you when you placed your bid (i.e. the horse cribs but that was not disclosed in the listing) we will NOT honor your pre-bid for your protection. We want you to bid with the most accurate information available!
For those of you who prefer to watch and bid live, you’ll have real time audio/video available to you at sale time! Make sure you have registered to bid, are logged in, and then hit the “View Live” button on the live feed! You’ll be good to go and can participate just as if you were here in person!
For those of you using a mobile device, we do recommend downloading the Horse Auctions USA app for the best bidding experience! It is available FREE to download from the Google Play and App Stores! If you prefer to use your browser, we do recommend using Google Chrome
You will need to register with a credit/debit card in order to bid online. Please note that a pre-authorization for $500 will be placed on your registered card. This is NOT a charge, just an authorization to verify you are indeed a real person with a real card and is a good faith hold to allow you to bid. This authorization will fall off once the sale is complete and any purchases you have made are paid for. You DO NOT have to pay for your purchases with this card – cash or check at pick up is perfectly acceptable! Please be advised that there is a 3.5% processing fee on all card payments.
Winning bidders should contact the Springfield Livestock Office at (417) 869-9500 on Friday night to confirm preferred payment method and pickup arrangements!
Horses need to be picked up by NOON on SATURDAY! If that timeframe won't work (and we know it won't for some of our out of area bidders) you can utilize layover board here at the stockyard. Please note that there is a $10/head/day board charge after Noon on Saturday. Be sure to let the sale office know you will need this service.
If you need any assistance with online bidding or have any questions pertaining to it, please call/text Bridget at (336) 904-8903. Please be sure to do so BEFORE we start the horse sale on Friday evening. Once we start, Bridget is on the auction block and unable to answer calls! Register BEFORE the sale so we can assist you with anything you might need!

INTERNET BIDDERS PLEASE NOTE! When you register to bid, Horse Auctions USA will place a $500 preauthorization on the credit or debit card that you register with. This is NOT a charge, just a preauthorization. Your mobile banking may send a notification that appears as a charge - AGAIN, it is just a preauthorization. The $500 will show as "pending" and then never complete but rather, will just vanish as if it was never there. Once the sale is complete, this preauthorization is released for all non-winning bidders. Winning bidders will have the preauthorization lifted once final settlement is made with the auction company. If for any reason you as a winning bidder fail to make final payment to the auction company before the open of business on Monday, you understand that Horse Auctions USA will finalize the $500 preauthorization and remit it to the auction company to be applied to your bill. Further, you understand that Horse Auctions USA will charge your registered card for the full amount due to the auction company for your winning bids. BID RESPONSIBLY and remember, your bid is a legally binding contract! You are responsible for your winning bids.
