Amish Country - Gordonville, Pennsylvania Mud Sale.

March 2009 Gordonville, Pennsylvania, Mud Sale. Best to wear your barn boots because they don't call it a Mud Sale for nothin'. If you can't get it there, you don't need it - Acres and acres of Horse drawn buggies and wagons, farm equipment, horses and mules, tools of every description, antiques, quilts, and more, all auctioned off on one Saturday to benefit the Gordonville Fire Department. The whole county pitches in, with school buses picking up visitors and volunteers alike from local hotels and pickup points. Fresh local Amish food is served concession style. Accommodations in the area are generally very clean, and very reasonable. Bring a truck or trailer, you won't go home empty-handed. We went with the Virginia Draft Horse and Mule Assocation delegation. Video by Terri Aigner, www.AignerGraphics.com

auctions are like a social event to the amish

thirty or so years ago i read an article stating how horses were being forced out of the Amish price range because of foreign buyers getting them for meat and shipping them out of the country. i would hope these horses remain for people in this country

Always a good time, never leave empty handed! No horses I have seen auctioned here are eaten. They are buggy or plow horses or sometimes just pets. We are more civilized here than you'd think.

Wonder how much HP those wagons have, 1-2?

A very nice video of an important fund raising auction in PA. Although the slaughter of horses is now forbidden in the USA and the eating of horse meat is repulsive to many in the states for many in foreign lands it is an acceptable part of their diet. The sale of the horses whether to be used as draft animals or buggy horses or for human consumption is a way for the Amish and others to sustain their agricutural livelihood. Ignorance is shown by some comments on here. Please refrain. Thanks

@TillyHopkins123 Please you are so uninformed about this sale it would be nice if you just kept your uninformed horse droppings to yourself. And yes they may ROT IN HELL right along with you, but they dont say it cause they have hopes that you can learn. I do not share their hopes for you.

[TillyHopkins123]

So wonder what happened to all those horses? O wait I know, they were probably all consumed BY FOREIGNERS! and for the ppl who let there horse go to auction, F*** YOU! ROT IN HELL!
