Listed below are the various horse auctions that killbuyers, horse dealers and rescue organizations attend. Larger kill auctions will have kill buyers, smaller auctions will have dealers who will go from auction to auction to pick up enough horses fill a load for a contract or kill buyer, or to resell at larger auctions, usually at a profit.
Rescues will attend both types of auctions. Kill buyers put a bottom on the market so often horses are cheaper at the smaller auctions where kill buyers are not in attendance.
