A familiar face around here, Gene Babbitt was the previous auctioneer and owner of the market.
He built the sale barn we operate today, and moved the market from the location on Highway 40 once the construction was done.
He sold the market and retired about 24 years ago, continuing to visit us throughout the years.
Mrs. Pat has given him the best of care these past few years as his health declined.
Our thoughts are with his friends and family, and especially Mrs. Pat.

Please keep Pat Babbitt in your thoughts and prayers. Her husband Gene passed away this morning(Jan 20) at 11:00.
Gene had been ill for quite some time.
He will be cremated. A celebration of life will be held at the club in the not too distant future after the weather improves. We'll make a post when a time and date is set.
Thank you.

Here is the price trend report for this week’s cattle sale. We saw strong sales across the board, with solid prices that clearly demonstrate strong demand for Florida-grown beef. It’s encouraging to see buyers showing confidence in the quality and value of cattle raised right here at home. Thank you to everyone who continues to trust Ocala Stockyard to market your cattle — we are proud to work for you and grateful for your support.
