My father and uncle both auctioneers Tom and Hugh Morehead for several years until it closed. I have so many good memories of being in the stockyards and the exchange building until it closed. Tom and Hugh Morehead are both gone now,but their will always be memories of that place for me.Tom was my fathet!

I used to watch the farm report every morning at 5:55 on TV as a kid in the early 70s to hear how many heads of livestock was brought in. Some were sold but most went somewhere else. It was part of my morning routine then. It was the first thing on after the national anthem and Words From Unity when kcmotv signed on. We lived on a farm between grain valley and oak Grove.
