Livestock Marketers of Saskatchewan
“Promoting competitive bidding in the marketing of livestock.”

The Board of Directors and members of the Livestock Marketers Association of Saskatchewan remain committed to our goal of promoting competitive bidding in the marketing of livestock. This is achieved through collaborative relations with industry partners; educational projects for our members; adherence to sound business practices and responsible animal welfare at members’ auction markets, among other initiatives.

We share in the responsibility of ensuring the free marketing of livestock runs smoothly, transparently and efficiently.

We have weathered the cycles of cattle markets and expanded and improved our operations to meet the regulatory advancements and safety standards required of a responsible industry.

Our members operate the physical facilities, as well as the selling, buying, and logistical components of the open market system for cattle sales in Saskatchewan.

Founded on September 16, 1972 as the Saskatchewan Livestock Markets Association, and later incorporated as the Saskatchewan Livestock Marketers and Order Buyers Association on January 20, 1989, our members have served the livestock industry with dedication.

On May 7, 2009, at our Semi-Annual Meeting held in Saskatoon, members agreed to change our name to the Livestock Marketers of Saskatchewan – LMS.
