Every Friday, ranchers around South Dakota bring their cattle here, to this livestock auction just outside the small town of St. Onge. , to be sold by this man — Justin Tupper, the owner and auctioneer at St. Onge Livestock.
So, a lot of guys bringing in those cows.
They're bringing them in for the normal sale day.
St. Onge livestock is a family business.
Emily is helping clerk, Maggie's been helping outside, Cody'll be here in a little bit and he'll work the night shift, and Brooke, my wife, is doing the books.
Justin's sale barn facilitates millions of dollars in sales on a day like today.
I would guess somewhere between three and five million.
And it happens like this.
Cattle get dropped off in this pen.
Then they're tagged and shuffled along this labyrinth-like system.
