In 1956, 10 cattle producers had a vision to start a cattle auction mart in Ashern.  In 1957, the auction mart was started with each of the 10 producers signing a $10,000 bank note. The first sale was held on September 22, 1957 and in 1958 the Ashern Auction Mart became a cooperative, As we move forward to 2016 the vision has not changed, the Auction mart's desire to serve all the present and future livestock marketing need of our members while building up our communities and the agriculture industry in the Interlake.

At the Ashern Auction Mart we run regular weekly sales every Wednesday starting at 9:00 am. In addition, we will run feature Bred Cow sales, Purebred sales and Special sales on Saturdays throughout the year. Our buyers’ market goes throughout  Canada and extends down into the United States.
