Monday Mornings at the Stockyards – Steak & Sales
Monday Mornin’s in Stockyards City Ain’t Your Average Start to the Week
While most folks are fightin’ snooze buttons and scrollin’ emails, the day’s already in full swing over in Stockyards City. Come sunup on Mondays, the Oklahoma National Stockyards is hummin’ with activity — cowboys on horseback movin’ cattle, auctioneers callin’ bids faster than a summer storm rolls in, and the unmistakable scent of the West in the air.
Established in 1910, this place isn’t just Oklahoma history — it’s still the largest stocker and feeder cattle market in the world. Every Monday and Tuesday, buyers, sellers, and curious onlookers gather to watch thousands of head of cattle move through the sale pens. And best part? It’s open to the public and free to attend. You can find weekly updates and sale times right over at their website: oknationalstockyards.com
Whether you’re a local lookin’ for a unique way to kick off the week or a visitor wantin’ to see the real Oklahoma in action, this is a slice of life you won’t forget.
