sale barn
Rural auction house
A sale barn is a facility where livestock are auctioned, typically featuring an arena where animals are paraded before buyers while an auctioneer calls bids.
Common in rural America, sale barns serve as regular gathering places for farmers and ranchers to buy and sell cattle, horses, pigs, and other animals: We took the calves to the sale barn on Tuesday.
