Okeechobee was settled by cattlemen in the 1800's and the original family ranches are still in operation!

We have one of the largest livestock auctions in the southeast, right here in Okeechobee on Mondays and Tuesdays of each week.

Wherever you go in Okeechobee, you'll see our country way of life exhibited. No, we don't carry six-guns on our side, but we do wear cowboy boots, spurs, hats, jeans and etc.!
