History: Bill Younger and Donnie Antle bought the Wheaton Livestock Auction in September of 2009. “We bought the sale barn, and remodeled the building and built a lot of steel pens,” said Bill Younger. The Wheaton salebarn had been vacant for several years before they decided to purchase it. Bill and Donnie have worked together and been business partners for a long time. Bill and Donnie along with their sons, Greg Younger and Keith Antle run the livestock auction. Auctioneer Dayne Galyen, office staff and barn workers help make the sale day run smooth.
Customer Service: The Wheaton Livestock Auction holds a sale weekly, every Saturday starting at 2 p.m. “We sell everything from pigs to baby calves, feeder calves, all cattle and any livestock,” said Bill. “We have a vet present every week.” They have a cafe and take care of all business transactions that day. They also help load and unload all stock. “I am here on Fridays to accept animals for Saturday’s sale and we have feed and water available for those animals,” shared Dayne. He also stated, “If you need us to come look at your cattle for appraisel, or set up hauling service for you, we are happy to do it.” Bill, Donnie and Dayne encourage customers to call them anytime with questions and are willing to work with customers with both selling and buying.
