All proceeds will go to help local ranchers affected by the fires. There's no donation too big or too small.     Contact Gordon Livestock Market today to line up your auction items. They'll have internet bidding, Facebook Live, the Gordon Livestock Market Cafe, and more. Let's support our neighbors in every single way that we can. Ranchers helping ranchers. And speaking of that fire now, it is reported to be over 572,000 acres and the first report of containment at 18%. For precipitation and rest for our firefighters.
