I've never been to the one in Jackson but I've gone to a few others. I went up to the exotic animal auction in Perham last year. It started at 10:00, I got there about 9:30. I left at 5:30 and the still were not even close to the poultry. They figured it would probably be about 7:30 or 8:00 before they even started them. I know better now, I usually go later so I'm not wasting the whole day watching goats go through the arena (Unless you want to see about 300+ goats). I liked the one in Pierz the best. It's a two day with the hoofed stock one day and poultry the next day. Of course, you still get to see about that many rabbits instead of goats but at least they mix poultry in with them. Otherwise it gets to be a very long day. If there is a number to call, you can maybe narrow down the time a little.
