On May 31, 2013, OKC West Livestock Market, Inc., El Reno, Okla., sustained severe damage from an EF-5 tornado direct hit. After substantial re-building efforts, the market is back in business with a sale scheduled for Wednesday, July 24 at 8:00 a.m.
"The destruction at the market was massive, and it is remarkable that they are able to be back in business so soon," said Terry Chapman, Livestock Marketing Association Regional Executive Officer.
Bill Barnhart, OKC West Livestock Market General Manager, estimates that there will be 7,000-8,000 head of cattle on sale day. The sale will take place in the arena, with temporary offices in operation until an office building is complete.
