BILLINGS, Mont. - Pat Goggins, owner of Public Auction Yards in
Billings, Mont., is quick to point out that his purchase of
Billings Livestock Commission Company is not a merger - the two
sales barns will continue to operate separately a little more than
a mile apart in the city once known as the livestock capital of the
world.
