Burke Livestock Auction

Burke Livestock Auction is a family owned livestock marketing center in Burke, South Dakota. Herris Lambley and family started the business in 1967. In 2014, Herris sold the auction facility to his son Donivan and grandsons Chisum and Dillon, and the three Lambley men now operate it with their families and employees.

The barn markets feeder and breeding cattle, including yearlings, spring calves, and bred heifers and cows, with some sales held with weigh-ups. Approximately 35,000 head are marketed through the barn each year from south central South Dakota and north central Nebraska. It supports local businesses in its community and manages each sale with honesty and hard work.
