Riley Livestock of Mayfield and Dr. Randy Littlepage of Madisonville purchased equal shares in the local market. Riley Livestock operates cattle sales in Ledbetter and is part-owner of the Owensboro market.
Crain Auction Co., of Hardeyville, Ky., sold the facility as ordered by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court of Southern Indiana. The sale was prompted by the personal bankruptcy of one of its owner, Thomas P. Gibson.
The local market had been closed since last October.
