Heartland Livestock Services announced the closure July 25; the Brandon auction mart has been a historic standby for Manitoba beef producers selling their cattle

Manitoba’s livestock producers have one less place to sell their animals.

Heartland Livestock Services announced July 25 that they are closing their Brandon location.

The company, a major livestock marketer in the province, also operates auction mart locations in Virden, and in neighbouring Saskatchewan at Moose Jaw, Yorkton and Swift Current. It’s owned by Nilsson Bros. Inc., whose head office is in St. Albert, Alta.

The business also has a digital element, listing cattle through the Direct Livestock Marketing System.
