Now that's one I hadn't thought of. I frequently come across the Wheatland Ferry and down through Keizer and drive right by it, but haven't stopped in. I think I'll need to do some reconnaissance during lunchtime.

Great tip ... thanks!

ok... so i figured out the whole woodburn auction thing... poultry is tuesdays at 9:30 ( when bidding starts) and goats ,pigs.sheep, etc... are on mondays ( but not every monday.. its every other monday.. ) and thats at i believe 11:30 ? and the reason i was so confused is because its not heald thru the woodburn auction.. just AT the woodburn auction... lol... but anyways..

Where do I go to find out more info on the auction? Where do I go to even BE at the auction? I would really really really like to go and see what its like. I've never been to one

Hi

The Woodburn auction yard has a website. I've called the number before and they were friendly to me when I had a rooster to sell at auction. It was very easy.

Wrong website.. There are 2 Woodburn Auctions. One sells equiptment and the other animals.

http://www.woodburnlivestockexchange.com/ that is the link you want.

I read Wheatland Ferry and had to reply. I used to live in the country in Yamhill and then in Amity. I moved to Illinois in 2004, big change, but love it here.

Waving to you

from rural Yamhill County. We live up Gopher Valley, off Hwy 18 between McMinnville and Sheridan. I drive through Amity frequently, cutting over by Hopewell (past the stinky dairy) and to the Wheatland Ferry. Yup, it's still chugging back and forth across the Willamette River ... 9 cars at a time (or less, if there are farm vehicles or cement trucks). The price has gone up, though, to $2.00 per vehicle. But, it cuts quite a few miles off of my trip and I avoid the traffic backup as you come into West Salem on Wallace Road and over the Center Street bridge into downtown Salem.

It's a bit of commute, but worth it to live in this beautiful valley.

I remember "stinky dairy" well. I used to use the ferry often I was a housekeeper when I lived out there so did a lot of driving. I even worked out near where you live. I thought I would terribly miss Oregon, but I did fine. I hope to visit someday, I have family and friends there that I'd love to see.
