The American Livestock Markets & Dealers Association (ALMDA) serves livestock markets, dealers, order buyers, and professional livestock marketers throughout the U.S.

Livestock marketing businesses are unique. For buyers and sellers, transactions are straightforward: livestock are bought and sold. Buyers get the livestock they want while sellers receive market price for the animals they sold.

Behind the scenes, livestock marketing businesses are complex with many challenges: customer service for buyers and sellers, animal care, labor, facility management, regulatory requirements, traceability demands, and a lack of time to get everything done.

ALMDA assists and represents these businesses by providing products, services, and legislative and regulatory representation which helps our members manage their respective businesses.
