“Trade with integrity, live with passion, and cultivate tomorrow’s legacy.”

Joe Hargrove was skipping high school classes to buy and trade cattle. At 24, he and his wife Nadine opened Southwest Livestock Exchange in Uvalde.

Their son-in-law Jimmy Speer has worked the barn for over forty years. Today Jimmy and Melody Speer own it, with their sons Justin and Cline carrying the family into the next generation.
