Coffeyville Stockyards

Finding a place that treats us well and treats our cattle well was important when it comes to marketing our cattle. Tylen and his crew are friendly and do their best for the customers whether you are selling a pot load or just a few.

Well, today was the day that I stopped here and tried a Cheeseburger and French Fries. I received many strange looks as I jumped out of my Mustang and wandered in looking for a burger. I had to ask a cattle auction cashier where the restaurant was. She just looked at me and pointed. I found a room with some TV screens of live cattle being sold and the sounds of an auctioneer barking away. A girl appeared at the counter and asked if she could help me. I told her I'd heard they had a good burger and she asked what I wanted on it. I ordered a Cheeseburger French Fries and a Tea. She asked if I wanted it to go... I said no, I'll eat it here. There were only a few tables but I found a spot. While waiting there was a group on local men (ranchers) behind me. They were chatting it up and having a good time and I'm from around here but I couldn't understand a word they were saying. A little fear creeped in as I was clearly out of my element. Just then the girl brought me my plate and I hungrily dug in. The first bite was amazing the beef flavor was the best I've ever had with melted cheese and what appeared to be home grown tomatoes and Ice cold crispy lettuce and great pickles. The French Fries were fresh cut and very hot and I salted them immediately. This turned out to be the best Cheeseburger and French Fries I've ever had and I've had them all over the United States. By half way through I needed more napkins the beef was so juicy that by the end I was looking for a garden hose to clean up with. I felt lucky to have escaped unharmed and I still don't know what those cowboys were saying, I'm sure they were plotting my demise so I just didn't make eye contact. The moral of the story is, when the girl asks you if you want it to go, get it to go!!!

Good Folks that treat everyone the same no matter how many you're buying or selling!

Clean, efficient, fair market, and the help is above average for sale barn workers.

A bit difficult to understand the method of sale but a nice experience.
