Additional Information

INFORMATION ABOUT THE RED CARPET SALES

Red Carpet members can sell their calves through the Association at any time during the year. When members sell their calves at the weekly sale at the Athens Stockyard or the Calhoun Stockyard or at one of their pre-conditioned sales, they will pay the normal sale bill set by the stockyard and the association will receive $1.00/head sold from the stockyards.  


If calves are sold in composite loads or full loads, the sale bill is $15/calf plus the beef check off. We sell loads and partial loads throughout the year. Most of our local sales are between the months of July and November at the Gordon County Agricultural Service Center, 1282 GA-53 Spur, Calhoun, GA. Tele-auction sales for our local producers are held on the 2nd Wednesday of the month from July through November. After the sale, the producers will be notified of a delivery date, and the calves will be trucked by the producer to the Northwest Georgia Livestock Pavilion where they will be grouped and loaded onto trucks. 


If a producer has a full load and loading facilities on their farm, trucking can be arranged for the calves to be picked up there.


If you have questions about selling your calves through the association, please contact Bill Bryan at 423-605-0561 or Doug Bramlett at 770-547-9851.
