FREDONIA — To the uninitiated, the audience at the Fredonia Livestock Auction appeared restless as they waited for the action to begin. Once Lotz took up his chant, the audience relaxed, assured he’d get them a more than suitable price for their animals. CODY MATHIS, co-manager of the Fredonia auction, lives in Gas. Blaine Lotz, with black hat, cries a session at the Fredonia Livestock Auction a week ago. Once arrangements have been made, animals begin arriving at the sale barn on Sunday and Monday ahead of Tuesday’s sale.
